This Belgian model and fashion star has shared her intersex identity with the world since January. The 29-year old model said, “I have reached a point in my life where I feel ready to share this important part of who I am.” The model who has graced the catwalk of Chanel and Alexander Wang added, “It is time for intersex people to come out of the shadows, claim our status, let go of shame, and speak out against the unnecessary and harmful surgeries many of us were subjected to as children.” A controversial practice that many medical professionals condemn is the “corrective” surgery of intersex children as infants to assign them as either male or female.
