Ly Baumgardt
Ly Baumgardt tells The I in Us about his background and current undertakings. He identifies as a trans and intersex anti-Zionist Jewish activist. Ly enjoys rollerskating, yelling through a bullhorn, and scaring himself with mediocre ghost stories. He learned he is intersex at fifteen years of age. Ly had already started doing queer activism at the young age of twelve. Further, by age fourteen he was working in not-for-profit capacities.
TIGERRS and MNTIRN
Plus, at age seventeen Ly co-founded TIGERRS where he is currently the Intersex co-ordinator.(https://www.tigerrs.org) Later, Ly also founded MNTIRN (Minnesota Trans and Intersex Resource Network), and the Minnesota Trans Resource Directory. He wrote the booklet: I Think I May be Intersex. This booklet is for folks questioning if they have an intersex variation. It includes common intersex symptoms, tips on self-advocacy and information on testing options.(https://www.tigerrs.org/intersex-resources). Ly explains the importance of TIGERRS to the hosts on The I in Us. TIGERRS is a very comprehensive list of resources especially for trans folks , as well as others coming to Minnesota. It is operated mainly by volunteers and funded by grants, donations and fundraising events. MNTIRN is a group which collaborates between local LGBTIQA+ organizations and individuals who assist Trans and Intersex folks coming to Minnesota.(https://www.mntirnetwork.org).
Ly concludes his interview on The I in Us emphasizing that, in future, intersex individuals will not have to explain themselves. Intersex people will be understood and accepted. He aims to continue introducing resources and getting material passed legislatively. Overall, Ly intends that, with more resources educating parents and doctors about intersex variations, unnecessary surgeries will decrease. Such an informative and educational episode you truly cannot afford to miss.
ENJOY!
