0:00.0 | Hey, I'm Jeffrey Masters, and this is LGBTQ and A. |
0:07.0 | Now, I love today's interview with G.G. Raven Wilbur, because when it comes to the many different identities that make up the LGBTQ community, |
0:18.0 | I think we often talk about them as separate individual experiences. |
0:23.3 | You're one or the other, right? You're gay or you're bi as just one example. But for the |
0:28.9 | vast majority of people, we tick off multiple boxes. Take Gigi Raven Wilbur, for example, |
0:35.2 | today's guest. They are bisexual, they're intersex, they're |
0:38.9 | non-binary, they're polyamorous, they practice and teach BDSM, they're kind of everything, right? |
0:45.3 | And proudly so. That kind of overlapping by Dendys, that is becoming more and more common in the |

1:17.6 | So I talk with Gigi about learning that they were intersex in college, discovering BDSM |
1:22.9 | and how that has transformed their life. |
1:25.4 | And we also talk about how they're feeling right now living in Texas with all the legislation |
1:30.7 | that's being passed and proposed in that state, specifically targeting trans and gender |
1:35.6 | non-conforming people. |
1:37.2 | So all of that is coming up today. |
1:38.9 | And without further ado, this is LGBTQ&A with Gigi Raven Wilbur. |
1:52.1 | I want to go back to when you were 23 and you learned for the first time that you were intersex. |
1:58.5 | What was going on then, and how did you learn that? |
