BEFORE I COULD SPEAK | Intersex Rights Song (Official Lyric Video)

An intersex rights song about bodily autonomy, medical trauma and reclaiming the choices someone else made before you could speak. Before I Could Speak follows an intersex person who discovers that medically unnecessary or deferrable decisions were made about their body before they were old enough to understand or consent. What others documented as “correction,” they carried as grief. This song is not against necessary, consent-based healthcare. It confronts irreversible interventions performed without the person’s full, free and informed consent—and the secrecy, shame and stolen agency that can follow. “My body was never broken. My body was never wrong. My body was never the emergency.” For every intersex person whose history was hidden, whose body was treated like a problem or whose choices were taken from them: your body belongs to you. It always did. Please listen with care. This song addresses non-consensual medical intervention and childhood medical trauma.
