Gillian McLeod came out as someone who likes other girls when she was in grade 3. Over the course of her life she discovered that she was intersex so it was not terrible that she had both male and female attributes.

Gillian has been fortunate to work in various forms of ministry—with the United Church of Canada that accepts all people, as well as a Librarian and Social Justice worker for cities and churches
