It is with a heavy heart I convey the news that the founder Of Organisation Intersex International Curtis Hinkle has lost his life partner Jeannie Kay. Jeannie Kay passed away yesterday .

Curtis has said that Jeannie Kay's acceptance of his Intersex and her support for his right to be himself was a critical element in his ability to do the things he has done to further the cause for all Intersex.

Then we all owe a huge debt of gratitude to Jeannie Kaye who must be recognised as critical to the establishment of our organisation and in that, a way for Intersex voices to be heard around the world.

I thank you Jeannie Kay and offer my deepest condolences to Curtis.
