đ˘ "We're not a disorder. We're not a syndrome. We're people." [Warning: this episode contains explicit language]. Toby Whittington is a successful social entrepreneur from Australia who found out he has an Extra X chromosome at the age of 32 - a discovery that changed almost everything in his life.
In this second of two episodes, he explains why he believes it is important not to become the victim of diagnosis, rejects considering Klinefelterâs as a "syndrome", and identifies as a part of the wider Intersex community - on the premise that diversity in humans is the norm not the exception.
This straight talking conversation covers a wide variety of topics including
the rise of the Intersex movement
what it's like to live with synaesthesia that turns touch into 3-D images
how he believes it in our power to turn our lives into "heaven" or "hell".
