We are a team of inter* educators, inter* counsellors and inter* activists at TransInterQueer e.V.
Inter* ?
By inter* (maybe also known as “intersex” to many english speakers) we mean bodies, that do not (entirely) meet the normative expectations of “female” or “male” sex characteristics. Inter* Variations can be “discovered” at any moment in life: before or at birth, in childhood and youth, during puberty or as an adult. Inter* is an umbrella term for many different variations in sex characertistics.
What we offer
Counselling for inter* individuals (and their loved ones) by inter* counsellors – possible questions could be
- An i inter*?
- I have (not) been diagnosed by the medical system – what does that mean?
- How can i find out more about my own body?
- How can i talk about myself being inter*?
- How can i meet other inter* people?
- How can i change the gendermarker in my official documents?
Counselling sessions are free of charge and can be held in German or English, online, on the phone, via email or in person. Book an appointment via inter.beratung@transinterqueer.org. If you feel comfortable saying a few words about your topic(s) in your email please do so as this allows us to be (more) prepared.
