Alex David

Paul and Cody welcomed Queensland-based intersex community member Alex David to The I in Us for the first time.  Alex discovered they were intersex in 2001, just after finishing Year 12.  They learnt that doctors could not determine what sex they were at birth. So Alex was raised as female until age 18, after which they realigned to male.   This is when they found out they were genetically XY. Later, at age 31, Alex

began to identify as non-binary.  Alex was a Director of Intersex Human Rights Australia (now Interaction for Health and Human Rights) from 2015 to 2019, during which time they participated in the drafting of the Darlington Statement, in 2017. Alex has appeared on the television programs, Insight (SBS TV) and You Can’t Ask That (ABC TV) and over the years have appeared in various media publications, spreading the word about intersex and helping to raise the profile of intersex and intersex human rights in the community.

On this episode we also learn about Alex’s passion for public transport, their passion for disability rights and a brief run at municipal government.
