INTRODUCTION “Despite all the achievements of civilization, the human being is still one of the most vulnerable creatures on earth.” - Vladimir Putin1 “You are alone, you are not normal”; that is how Aleksander Berezkin learned he was intersex.2 Born in 1984 in Novokuznetsk—a steel-producing town in southwestern Siberia, not unlike Pittsburgh in terms of climate and local economy3—Aleksander lived the life of an ordinary boy until his adolescence, when puberty failed to arrive. “When I was at school, my body looked visibly different from other teenagers,” Aleksander recalled.4 “I had no muscles . [n]o hair on the face. I was skinny and tall. With narrow shoulders and wide hips. Breast glands were enlarged. Sometimes people took me for a girl. I have been bullied and humiliated.”5 Desperate for answers and relief from the merciless taunting and social ostracism, at the age of seventeen Aleksander submitted to a genetic test that revealed the truth. While typical males have the chromosomes XY, Aleksander’s were XXY; he was diagnosed with a variation of Klinefelter syndrome, in which an extra X chromosome inhibits the body’s production of testosterone and leads to the development of stereotypically feminine traits in males.6 But Aleksander received little comfort from his intersex diagnosis, nor Copyright © 2019 by Maggie J.

Powers 2 3 4 CHICAGO LGBT HALL OF FAME The Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame (formerly the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame) is both a historic event and an exhibit. Through the Hall of Fame, residents of Chicago and the world are made aware of the contributions of Chicago’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) communities and the communities’ efforts to eradicate bias and discrimination. With the support of the City of Chicago Commission on Human Relations, its Advisory Council on Gay and Lesbian Issues (later the Advisory Council on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Issues) established the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame (changed to the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame in 2015) in June 1991. The inaugural induction ceremony took place during Pride Week at City Hall, hosted by Mayor Richard M. Daley. This was the first event of its kind in the country. Today, after the advisory council’s abolition and in partnership with the City, the Hall of Fame is in the custody of Friends of the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame, an Illinois not- for-profit corporation with a recognized charitable tax-deductible status under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3).

    Post-Election Report Takes a Comprehensive Look at the Voting Totals, Trends and Statistics During the March Primary Throughout Suburban Cook County

    Letter from David Orr Cook County Clerk Dear Friends: This March 20 Gubernatorial Primary generated great interest up and down the ballot, and we saw this result in record-breaking or near-record setting marks in the number of registered voters, voters who took part in the election, the percentage of voters who participated in Early Voting, and the overall turnout rate. Not only have we reached a record-high number of registered voters in suburban Cook County (1,549,688), the turnout for Early Voting was higher than any other Gubernatorial Primary and nearly as high as the 2016 Presidential Primary, and the number of voters who cast ballots in this election was more than had participated in a Gubernatorial Primary Election in the last 30 years. This 2018 Gubernatorial Primary Post-Election Report takes a comprehensive look at the voting totals, trends and statistics during the March primary throughout suburban Cook County. Below is a sample size of the standout primary numbers: • Voting before Election Day – by mail or during early voting and grace period voting – accounted for 29 percent of all ballots cast in this election. • Early Voting also set a new Gubernatorial Primary record with 109,811 ballots cast in-person before Election Day. That’s the highest total yet for a Gubernatorial Primary, and for Primary Elections, second only to the 2016 Presidential Primary (120,681). • Election Day Registration, offered for the first time in a Gubernatorial Primary, was popular with voters, especially younger ones. Voters between 17 and 22 years old made up 32 percent of the 4,278 who took advantage of Election Day Registration.

    Normalizing Intersex a Study Guide

    VOICES: Normalizing Intersex A Study Guide• By Ellen K. Feder and Georgiann Davis The stories references in this study guide can be downloaded for free. Please see the Normalizing Intersex volume of VOICES 2016 Art Frank has written a short reflection piece on learning from narratives for NIB. Please see our website to download the piece. General Questions: 1. What is the value of using narrative to learn about intersex? 2. How should we listen to the stories collected here? Does your response change if you are listening as a friend or family member of the individual? How might you listen as a prospective parent? What about as a medical provider? 3. It was common practice for medical providers to keep the diagnosis from intersex people and they often encouraged parents to do the same, as many physicians believed that withholding such information would protect the development of their patient’s gender identity. What do these narratives suggest about the effects of these practices? 4. Many of the individuals who shared their stories in this symposium found comfort in connecting with others who had shared their experiences, as well as with the larger intersex community. What barriers to forming these types of connections might exist, and how might these barriers be minimized? • • •Created to accompany VOICES: Stories from the Pages of NIB 2016 from the originalCreated narrative to accompany symposi VOICES:um in Narrative Stories from Inquiry the Pages in Bioethics of NIB Volume2016 from 5 Issuethe 2, original narrative symposium in Narrative Inquiry in Bioethics Volume 5 Issue 2, 2015.
