Compulsory dandyism: A conversation on intersex joy and desire with Dr Christopher Breu
View through CrossRef
This contribution features a conversation between Dr Christopher Breu, Dr Celeste E Orr and Dr Casey Burkholder at the On Intersex Joy (2025) event held at Concordia University, USA in July 2025. We asked a series of questions to centre the opportunities and limits to intersex joy, like ‘what are the limits to joy or accessing joy?’ and ‘in what ways can intersex embodiment be a source of strength, affirmation and celebration?’. The article also includes a follow-up discussion, allowing Breu to elaborate on and add to his commentary. Drawing on Breu's comments, we have playfully titled the piece ‘Compulsory dandyism’.
