Talking with others who understand my family makes all the difference in the world. I learn about the what’s what and how to’s — and, more importantly, I feel accepted and embraced.
Join us for a talk by Kimberly Zieselman, a regular suburban housewife and mother, whose discovery later in life that she was born intersex fueled her to become an international human rights defender and globally-recognized activist.
Charting her intersex discovery and her journey to self-acceptance, her award winning book XOXY: A Memoir movingly portrays how being intersex impacted Kimberly's personal and family life, as well as her career. From uncovering a secret that was intentionally kept from her, to coming out to her family and friends and fighting for intersex rights, her candid and empowering story helps breakdown barriers and misconceptions of intersex people and brings to light the trauma and harmful impact medical intervention continues to have on the intersex community.
Kimberly Zieselman is an intersex woman, lawyer and former Executive Director of interACT: Advocates for Intersex Youth, with more than 25 years of experience in advocacy and nonprofit advocacy, including working as Director of Government Relations at Boston Children's Hospital. She served on the board of InterConnect, the largest intersex support group in the US and participated as an expert consultant to the UN Office of the High Commissioner. Kimberly is also a signatory to the historic YP+10, the supplementary document to Yogyakarta Principles which outlines individual human rights based on Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Expression, and Sex Characteristics. She is currently co-producing a film, Common As Red Hair, and regularly consults on intersex media projects and has been quoted and/or published in outlets including, USA Today, New York Times, Washington Post, BBC, CNN, and The Advocate. Kimberly grew up in Concord, MA and now splits her time living between Washington, DC and Manchester, Vermont.

All are welcome!
The LGBTQIA+ community has a long rich history in the world, in the United States, and in our local communities. We want to honor the people, individually and collectively, who worked to make life better for us!
We are proud to bring you this event in which YOU can share your own stories, and the stories of people and events you have witnessed, for True Story Theater actors to reenact.
· Have you encountered bias or discrimination—and done something about it?
· Were you a part of the first school GSAs established in our community?
· Were you part of a local LGBTQIA+ social or family group in the 1900s or early 2000s?
· Were you part of the first local gay/lesbian weddings?
· Were you among the first openly LGBTQIA+ people to be elected to office?
· Were you involved in the controversy about the school diversity bag—the case that went all the way to the Supreme Court?
· Were you part of the #YesOn3 campaign to preserve civil rights for transgender people in public accommodations?
· Did you participate in or witness the formation of LexPride and its early programming?
Come share these and other stories—and talk about how they impacted you and our community.
Sponsored by LexPride, Lexington Historical Society, Lexington Senior Services, Arlington Council on Aging, Arlington LGBTQIA+ Rainbow Commission—and featuring True Story Theater. Funded by a grant from the Dana Home Foundation.
