Sarah Graham
Sarah Graham is an intersex activist and drug addiction counsellor and consultant. As an expert on drug addiction, she is a member of the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs and a co-founder of the Amy Winehouse Foundation. In recognition of her intersex activism, ''The Independent on Sunday'' has called her an LGBT "national treasure" and ranked her second in its 2015 "Rainbow List" of the most influential LGBT people in the UK.
== Androgen insensitivity ==
Graham has XY chromosomes, but due to having complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CIAS), she was identified and raised as a girl. Doctors lied to her and her parents about her diagnosis, subjected her to repeated medical investigations, and removing her internal testes (which they claimed were ovaries) at age seven or eight "to protect her from cancer and imminent death", resulting in her needing otherwise-unnecessary hormone replacement therapy from age 12.〔
Graham was not given her CIAS diagnosis until she was 25. She was offered no support, and "felt like a total freak ... like the only person in the world with the condition and that no one would love ()."〔 Already a regular drug user, the diagnosis led to a period of self-destruction including drink and drug addiction.〔 With the support from a doctor, however, she recovered, saying "I have turned my pain into my work" and "I'm now very happy with who I am ... I don't ever regret being born intersex now – except for the infertility – because it has made me very strong and understanding of our human similarities and the differences that make us each unique".
