This is a very good story, thanks. But readers might like to be aware that the way you use "intersex" here does not reflect how people mostly use the word today.

Today, intersex is used to describe people who are born with both male and female sexual characteristics, usually as a result of genetic differences.

In the article you link to here, "transvestite" is used. That's an archaic term in English that many trans people actually find offensive, but at the time it usually meant a gender-variant person. That might have included intersex people in the way that we define intersex today, but it also included people who we might refer to today is drag queens or as transgender.

I don't mean this is pointed criticism or anything, because vocabularies change and received meanings evolve.

I just pointed out so that readers don't get confused.
