Bodies Like Ours Board Members

Betsy Driver is the Executive Director, co-founder, and webmistress of Bodies Like Ours. She is an advocate of change in the treatment protocol for intersex children and the elimination of early genital surgeries without the expressed, informed consent of the patient. This includes adoption of non-surgical treatment options by the medical community. It is her hope that through peer support, many intersex people will find the strength to speak out about intersex genital mutilation and share their own stories as a vehicle for change.

Betsy lives in Easton, PA with her purebred brown dog, 2 cats, and whatever else wanders in for a visit.
