The I in Us with Small Luk, 7 August 2025

On this, the 70th episode of The I in Us, Paul and Cody welcomed Hong Kong-based Chinese Doctor and intersex human rights activist Small Luk to the show. In addition to earning degrees in social work and traditional Chinese medicine, Small holds a Master’s in gender studies and nowadays runs a holistic treatment clinic in Hong Kong.

Small was the first intersex person to openly acknowledge her biological sex characteristics in Hong Kong, and in 2011, she founded the organisation: “Beyond Boundaries– Knowing and Concerns Intersex” to spread awareness about intersex people and promote the rights of intersex people, including ending forced genital surgeries. Small continues to work tirelessly to achieve human rights and positive health outcomes for her community, and it was a delight to discuss her life, challenges, and passions on this wonderful episode.
