Hi Eleanor,

I am responding to the message you sent about LGBT-inclusive SRE, and to your final suggestion that we 'just shout' if we have questions. 

My question relates to the inclusion of intersex bodies, identities, and experiences in the work described here. As awareness of LGBT-inclusive SRE grows, this is an excellent opportunity to build awareness of intersex possibilities too. If this is not already included in the work of you and the others presenting on 11th November, I would be very keen to be in dialogue with you about how to bring intersex more visibly into the discussion over time. Please let me know if you are open to having this conversation with me! (Sorry, I cannot make it to the event itself).

Best wishes
Katrina Roen
