When Chris North was born intersex in the 1940s, doctors encouraged his family to keep his condition secret.

"Many doctors will default to giving me the same care they’d give a straight, cis woman because it’s easier to work within a system than to take a half-step outside of it."

Today, my #HistPsych interns from @rug_gmw (with @HistorianAlice), went on a #PhotoSafari for @WikiCommons. We went behind closed doors at a secret warehouse that preserves the collection not on display at our uni #museum. We explored, took photos, and were inspired. Perfect day!
