HOW TO TELL SOMEONE YOU'RE INTERSEX!

Happy Valentine's Day! Sorry for the low energy, these sinus infections are slowly killing me. But more importantly I'm sorry for the terrible acting.

Anyway - here's my advice for how to tell somebody that you're intersex! More importantly how to tell your boyfriend, girlfriend, or partner. It can be really scary to tell somebody something that you've kept a secret - but it doesn't have to be!! When you feel ready and safe then hopefully this advice can help. If you're in a place where you're worried about your safety if you disclose - then it's totally fine to protect yourself and use your own judgement. :)

This is just my own advice based on experiences that I've had and people that I've spoken too. I'm not shaming anyone for how they choose to disclose - everyone is different! And I've told people in all sorts of ways, including the crying dramatic ones! I'd love to hear your advice for disclosing! What have you found is the best way?
