    Carolyn Hannaford

    The I in Us is an Australian-based radio show about the intersex community, by the intersex community, for everyone. On this week’s show, Paul welcomed Carolyn (CJ) Hannaford, an intersex woman from South Australia to the JOY 94.9 airwaves. Born in 1952, CJ grew up in an era of secrecy, shame and ignorance about her Intersex variation. CJ says that she may as well have been a dinosaur for the oddity she perceived herself to be, and it wasn’t until the age of 19 years that CJ finally learned she is intersex, in a most unexpected and confronting way. CJ has been an intersex advocate in Australia for many years, including being the South Australian, Western Australian and Northern Territory Peer Support Rep for Intersex Peer Support Australia. On Wednesday 13 November 2024 CJ delivered the South Australian Rainbow Advocacy Alliance (SARAA) Ian Purcell Oration at the Adelaide Feast Festival, South Australia’s Annual Arts and Cultural Festival – with a talk titled, “Were There Intersex Dinosaurs?” Please join us as we unpack CJ’s oration and her intersex story.

    Jason La Barre

    The I in Us is an Australian-based radio show about the intersex community, by the intersex community, for everyone. On this week’s show, Paul welcomed Jason La Barre to the JOY 94.9 airwaves. Born and raised in Illinois, USA, Jason was born with an innate variation in sex characteristics, but like so many intersex people, Jason endured the consequences of this since long before he knew why his life had been so challenging and why he had felt different to his peers since the age of four. As the years passed Jason defied the opinion of his teachers and peers to complete high school and university degrees, and like so many people within the intersex community, became an advocate for his community, passionate that no other kids or teens would go through what he did, physically, cognitively, or socially.

    Kajsa Wenman

    The I in Us is an Australian-based radio show about the intersex community, by the intersex community, for everyone. On this week’s show, Paul welcomed Kajsa Wenman to the JOY 94.9 airwaves. Originally hailing from the USA, Kajsa (she/her) was subjected to adverse childhood events that led to severe mental health issues. For the past 10 years, Kajsa has made use of various complementary medicine techniques to heal the root cause of her mental health issues, and in 2019 started a business to help others with similar problems. Academically Kajsa earned an MA in Viking and Early Medieval Studies at Uppsala University in 2005 after completing her dissertation titled, “Intersex Conditions in the Viking Age: the written and genetic evidence.” It was then that Kajsa fell in love with Stockholm, started visiting annually and nowadays, calls Sweden home. Having learned from a genetic test they are intersex just seven years ago, Kajsa soon became a member of the Intersex Sverige (Sweden) and is now the Secretary. Kajsa is also an intersex creator, designing badges, t-shirts and intersex pride-themed fibre arts and jewellery. Tune into JOY 94.9 Wednesday’s at 6pm for another exciting episode of The I in Us.

    Tracy Postert and Lucie Corden

    The I in Us is an Australian-based radio show about the intersex community, by the intersex community, for everyone. On this week’s show, Paul welcomed intersex artists Houston (USA) based Tracy Postert and UK-based Lucie Corden. Tracy Postert’s parents learned she is intersex when she was 5 years old and has been on estrogen since age 12. She didn’t learn she is intersex until age 50. Tracy became a social activist, gained a Bachelor’s degree, a PhD in bio-medicine, a Masters in Science Education, and a post-graduate fellowship -all leading to her working as a teacher and college instructor. At age 25 Tracy visited the faculty library and figured out she might have the innate variation in sex characteristics, Androgen Insensitivity. Spending all these years in the science, medical and educational space didn’t bring Tracy closer to having this confirmed. Finally, at the age of 50, all would be revealed! At age 54, Tracy received “intersex services” from a medical doctor for the very first time. As a long-time activist this passion sees Tracy speaking up for intersex rights and using her visual art as a vehicle to spread the word about our community. This is both figuratively and practically after her van was stolen, Tracy repainted the van rainbow with a generous covering of intersex flags. Lucie Corden is a feminine intersex woman. Her parents learned she was born with an innate variation in sex characteristics when she was 5 months old. She endured operations from as young as 12 and has been on hormone replacement therapy all her life. But like Tracy, being intersex doesn’t define Lucie. She loves life, is married to a wonderful man with a similar intersex variation. Lucie has worked as a makeup artist, visual artist, barista, and an active and passionate advocate for intersex rights.

    Intersex Awareness Day 2024

    Happy Intersex Awareness Day 2024! The I in Us is an Australian-based radio show about the intersex community, by the intersex community, for everyone. On this week’s show, Paul and guest co-host Cody Smith celebrated International Intersex Awareness Day being held on Saturday Oct 26. They welcomed intersex veterinarian Dr Channy McGowan and Aotearoa/New Zealand intersex advocate Georgia Andrews. Paul, Cody and their guests talked about the history of International Intersex Awareness Day, why the day is important to the intersex community and shared updates about the status of work to achieve legislative protections for intersex people living in Victoria and elsewhere in Australia. Georgia, who works closely with Stephanie Lum as the Stakeholder Manager at YOUth&I, an Australian-based intersex youth publication, gave us a sneak peek into the soon to be released fourth edition. She read poetry submitted by intersex youth from across the globe. Profoundly personal, the poetry evoked much emotion, bringing Paul and his guests to tears – so before you listen, grab some tissues. Paul was thrilled to premiere “Avarice”, the newest song by Melbourne-based independent intersex musician Nyx, from Nyx and the Nightmakers.

    Aces Fox

    The I in Us this week brings to the JOY airwaves another incredible, truly moving episode.   The exceptional host, Paul, and amazing guest co-host, Cody Smith, interview Aces Fox, this week’s fabulous special guest.  Aces joins the program from across the miles in Seattle, Washington, USA.  Now, tune into JOY 94.9 and enjoy this intriguing and highly educational episode. At the age of nineteen years, Aces was confirmed intersex; having both XY and XO sex chromosomes.  Therefore, Aces is a true hermaphrodite and a chimera.  This means that two people become one person, very shortly after conception.  Even more exciting on The I in Us this week, we learn that our special guest, Aces, enjoyed a full term pregnancy.  Aces delivered a child, fathered by another human with XY sex chromosomes, naturally into this world.   Aces is thus a biological parent. Aces further chats to The I in Us about a couple more amazing triumphs.  Four years ago, Aces created and produced America’s first ever K-pop radio show, hosted by Aces’ own non-binary child, Dakota.  To learn more about K-pop, visit https://en.wikipedia.org  At this time, no K-Pop was played in America.  It was also a very challenging time because the world was in the middle of a pandemic. (COVID 19)  Another breathtaking attribute is that Aces has also practiced as an Oracle.  To learn more about the work an Oracle carries out, visit https://www.merriam-webster.com  Visit also https://www.dictionary.cambridge.org This is another fascinating, heart-warming and personal story.  It is the powerful personal story about a wonderful human:  Aces Fox’s life journey.  So, tune into this truly sensational episode of The I in Us, learn and enjoy.
