The United Nations estimates up to 1.7% of the world's population is intersex: born with sex characteristics that don't fit typical definitions of male and female. In many countries, intersex children are forced to undergo surgery to try and change their sex characteristics. In Russia, being intersex is considered a disability, and people like Lera and Kostya face economic difficulties and social rejection. Now they, and many others, have decided to speak up and tell the world about themselves, that intersex people exist, and that there are millions of others just like them.
