"I usually don't talk about my professional background. However, at
times, when others who have degrees want to give advice, it is
important that we who are intersex and/or trans, also speak with
professional clarity and expect the same professional respect that
non-trans/non-intersex professionals give to their peers. This is
something that many of us have faced and those who are not intersex
and/or trans often have no idea how they come across and they often
have no idea how we often are devalued and deemed unworthy of any
professional respect despite our own degrees and accomplishments. This
is offensive and needs to stop."
