Intersex advocacy and the fight for bodily autonomy with Pidgeon Pagonis

Pidgeon Pagonis is an intersex speaker, filmmaker, and consultant; Author of the memoir, “Nobody Needs to Know“.
Pidgeon Pagonis is an intersex speaker, filmmaker, and consultant; Author of the memoir, “Nobody Needs to Know“.

Growing up, Pidgeon Pagonis was told a lot about their medical history: They were born with cancerous ovaries, so the doctors removed them to save their life.

Except that wasn't true. In reality, they were born intersex. And those were not cancerous ovaries, they were undescended testes. And that was just the beginning of many truths coming out.

Hear their story of discovery, and how they played a massive role in getting the hospital where they were born to reverse their policies on how they treat intersex children.
