    OMG! such an enlightening episode. I appreciate you Mocina for your bravery and your vision. I support you 100%. The society is the one that is broken and sick, it desperately need healing through education and creating awarenes. So important to bring the marginalized people in the open, there is so much diversity of sexes and abilities just as we have diversity of colors. Not mere black and white, not binary. Let the marginalized people speak. Its a privilege to be in the audience and hear your wonderful story. 💌

    This is quite informative and brave while at it. I concur that Intersex should not be bundled together with the other LGBTQ grouping because while the former is a misnoma of genetics, the latter is a matter of choice. What a wonderful soul (and at this young age) removing ignorance from many of us. May God bless you Monica

    • @petermugambi9122
      @petermugambi9122 3 месяца назад

      Wrong, if people can be born without the appropriate genitalia because of dysfunctional genetics (hardware), it follows that the same genetics can interfere with an individual sexuality mentally (software). All living things are afflicted with all manner of deformities but the sexual one is the most sensitive. Education is the only way to end the stigma of the LGBTQ people including the intersex, they're all creation of God, in his image.

    my interpretation of the proverb is "Death is certain" means that inevitably we will die and while we know that it will happen it does not mean that we go to the grave and wait for death we keep busy living life etc
