Join Maddy online with Paul Byrne-Moroney to chat about the diversity of intersex lived experiences and shine a light on the intersex community, the discrimination faced and the education needed to urgently break misconceptions, stigmas and barriers to care.  

Paul (he/him) learned he has an extra X sex chromosome at the age of 28, and that he is intersex in 2016, at age 50. In 2006, Paul co-founded the Klinefelter Syndrome Support Group of Victoria, launching him on a path of advocacy that continues today.    

Paul is involved in several community and advisory groups, including the Victorian Pride Centre, Western Health, Banyule City Council, and the University of Sydney’s Interconnect Health Research Project. Since 2016, he has contributed to State and Federal government policy reforms and helped many organisations improve intersex inclusion.  

Since 2020, Paul has been a Victorian Peer Support Representative for Intersex Peer Support Australia, an Australian Ambassador for the ChromoDiversity Foundation since 2022, and a Board Director at InterAction Health and Human Rights since 2024.  

With a Bachelor of Health Science / Public Health (Hons), Paul often speaks about intersex topics, sharing his lived experience at government, corporate, and health events and conferences, such as next week's 2025 Better Together LGBTIQA+ Conference in Adelaide, when Paul is scheduled to lead a panel discussion on what it means to be intersex. In 2023, he also featured on Series 2 of Castlemaine's 94.9mainFM “Pride Across the Ages” podcast.  

When not advocating or offering peer support, Paul volunteers as Radio Producer, Broadcaster, and Co-host of The I in US on JOY94.9 - Australia’s only intersex community radio show, which he created and launched.
