Check out this article about Ana Roxanne, an amazing intersex musician talking about her album Because of a flower. support intersex musicians and listen to her work!
Some quotes:
“ A year after, she realized that she might have an album on her hands. “They all seemed to carry this thread of meaning,” she says of the songs on Because of a Flower. Throughout, she uses symbols like water and tonal harmony as metaphors for the transcendent beauty of gender fluidity. “
“ When I learned that most flowering plants are hermaphrodites, that felt significant to me. I saw flowers in this new sense because they’re universally very beautiful. Whereas historically, intersex people are not seen in the same way.”
“ Honestly, just meeting other intersex people, being able to learn from them, and share our different experiences and our individual conditions that we have. I’ve learned so much just from talking to them, hanging out with them, and seeing their research and experiences that they share on the internet. It takes a lot. It can be very exhausting just because it’s such an intimate thing to be talking about your body. It’s not just about your chromosomal makeup, it’s about your body parts. It’s so personal. It’s been amazing to feel a solid community. Being able to meet intersex people who will sometimes message me online and say, “You were an inspiration to me when I came out.” “
