Cary Gabriel Costello is an intersex trans male professor and advocate for transgender and intersex rights.[2] His areas of study include identity, sexuality, privilege, and marginalization.[3]

Career and personal life

Assigned female at birth, Costello first attempted a gender transition in 1991, while working as an attorney in Washington, D.C.[4] Due to the discrimination he experienced, he postponed his transition, and left the legal profession to pursue a degree and career in sociology.[4] He transitioned to male after securing tenure as an associate professor of Sociology at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee,[1][4] where he leads the LGBT Studies program.[5]

Costello has advocated for transgender and intersex people on issues including intersex surgery,[6] eugenics,[7] bathroom bills,[5] TSA airline passenger screening,[8] and the sometimes fraught relationships between intersex and transgender communities.[9][10] He has analyzed the controversy over the gender testing of South African athlete Caster Semenya from an intersex perspective.[11] Costello has suggested using the term ipso gender instead of cisgender for intersex people who agree with their sex assigned at birth.[12]

Costello is the gestational father of a daughter, and is married to an intersex trans woman.[2][6][13][14]
