Today, I doff my hat to the courage of Hanne Gaby Odiele. It takes real character to come out and admit that you are different, particularly when it is in ways that are taboo and especially when you do not have to. Being Intersex is not something Hanne asked for and I wish her every success for the future. I also hope that her announcement helps gives others hope and a greater level of acceptance.

This is made even more poignant as we discover that there is more to life that just Guanine, Adenine, Thymine, and Cytosine.

I hope today you find the strength and compassion you need to accept and be accepted. Please remember to like and share these stories if they make you smile.
