The story of Tony Briffa, the world's first openly intersex mayor
It’s not often we get to hear the stories of intersex people, though the prevalence is higher than we probably think. Depending on the definition used, between 0.1% and 1.7% of human births are intersex.
The incredible story of Tony Briffa is part of a larger Australian video series, Beyond “That’s So Gay,” which has LGBT people telling their stories in their own words.
