Blume (born 27 September 1995) is an Australian musician, model and intersex activist. They are a prominent figure in advocating for intersex awareness and representation in the music industry and mainstream media.[1]
Early life[edit]
Born and raised in the Eastern bushland Suburbs of Melbourne,[2] Blume (who uses they/them pronouns) discovered they were born with Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome at age 16. [3] Despite being made aware of their internal testes, Blume has never had any operations to remove them, or alter their anatomy. [4]
Career[edit]
Blume embarked on their advocacy journey by sharing their personal story online, amassing millions of views. The directive to keep their intersex identity a secret during their youth had an unexpected outcome, as Blume now seeks to revolutionise intersex representation in the media.[5]
