Meet David Strachan: born intersex, David was put on hormone replacement therapy to make him appear more "male" - but like many intersex babies and children, he didn't have a say in the matter. Now, he's proud of all the youth activists out there fighting for intersex people's right to love their bodies just the way they are and make their own decisions. 💛💜

For LGBTQ+ History Month, we asked some elders from our community what inspires them about today's queer youth, and what advice they would give. Thanks to the Outwords Archive for partnering with us on this series and connecting us with these amazing voices! Stay tuned for the next 👀

Image description: [ First slide is a logo that combines trans and intersex flags by putting trans colors inside the purple circle. Text says #Trans intersex solidarity. The rest of the slides have text that reads: Gender affirming care for trans teens is under threat - and the same bills force surgeries on intersex babies. 90 of the 120 gender affirming healthcare ban bills in states across the USA have carve outs to permit nonconsensual surgeries on intersex infants. That's 75%! This is why we need #TransIntersexSolidarity!

Eradicating our sex traits, our genders, our bodies, is eradicating us.States are segregating trans, nonbinary, and intersex people into false sex and gender binaries by simultaneously forcing trans+ youth to detransition AND authorizing non-consensual interventions on intersex infants and children. We can’t let them. The accelerating gender and sex apartheid must be stopped. #TransIntersexSolidarity

Legislators: So you want to save the children? Here's how. Protect youth by preserving their rights to bodily autonomy and self-determination. Protect youth by letting them be their authentic selves. Let trans, nonbinary & intersex youth make their own choices about their own bodies, when they are informed and ready. #TransIntersexSolidarity

Solidarity from intersex communities with trans+ youth in the United States and across the globe! [body] Some people are trans and/or nonbinary. Some people are intersex. Some people are both trans+ and intersex. We are all united in our shared birthrights to be both free from interventions we do not want and to have access to the gender affirming care we do want. #TransIntersexSolidarity]

Sharing these graphics from @intersexawareness on Instagram. Trans and intersex communities have always been tied together, and right now both of us are under attack. Solidarity is more important than ever!

I’m a biological male… born looking female? #intersexawareness #intersex...

Intersex awareness is so important - especially with all the misinformation being spouted by conservatives lately - the biology of sex is very much *not* a simple neatly divided dichotomy.

#intersex rights #intersex awareness #biology #biology is complex #biology is nuanced #two discrete sexes is a grade school myth

While there’s no evidence of regional doctors providing gender affirmation surgery to patients under 18 years old, there is also no exclusionary provision for the Intersex population who are most likely affected by genetic genital variations. By a wide margin, under Idaho HB 71 to go in effect on January 2024, the most likely Intersex population to be affected by lack of health care surgeries would be female Intersex.

The GOP led super-majority opinion legislation is quite clear:

1. Hope you or your child isn’t affected by a genetic predisposition for Intersex genital variations.

2. If the condition is present hope it isn’t serious.

3. If it is serious, there is no recourse in the state of Idaho, USA.

The measure also prohibits transgender people under 18 from accessing puberty blockers and hormones from within the state. It also prevents this group from undergoing transition-related surgery. The terms and conditions of “Transgender” snd “Intersex” are *not interchangeable nor are the medical needs of these groups.

I’m going to encourage my colleagues at #OHCHR to open a dialog about a future a diplomatic solution ahead of January 2024 in amendments. Currently the ID Legislature is out of session. If needed I’ll place myself and that of other colleagues at the service of OHCHR U.N. to provide research testimony or evidence of known Intersex variations. Idaho seems to have created boutique legislation fashioned in the absence of appropriate medical dialog or facts.

While I support the spectrum of LGBT, the health conditions and concerns of the Intersex populations are more physical with distinct medical pathologies than as presumed psycho-sexual admonitions placed on the Transgender population while causing distinct disadvantages for both.

HB71 from Idaho

In some people with intersex variations, the name of this SAME structure, the Genital Tubercle, in their developing foetus, at birth can later be named a:- Penis Phallus Clitoris Phaloclitoris Micropenis Microphallus Clitoromegaly These differences in humans are naturally occurring and are NOT a defect. Intersex variations are as common as redheads. That is as common as 1 in 1500 births (if not possibly more). The United Nations statistics indicate that Intersex affects 1.7% of the world’s population. If the world’s population is 7.6 Billion, this would mean 129 million people are born intersex. This is not “rare”.... . #IntersexAwareness #IntersexEducation . https://anunnakiray.com/2016/03/18/seven-names-for-the-same-thing-penis-phallus-clitoris-phaloclitoris-micropenis-microphalus-and-clitoramegaly/ https://www.instagram.com/p/B5x6tzCp7CP/?igshid=g22zg6x8l0ka

I couldn’t think of a better way to spend #intersexdayofsolidarity #intersexdayofremembrance than with friends, allies and activists up in Edinburgh this weekend for the IVSC Gathering hosted by the Equality Network on Friday. It was wonderful to meet up again with @3alexrobin, one of the first Scottish intersex activists who gave a great speech about their journey to raise awareness and how hard it’s been trying to find other intersex activists in Scotland. Despite the distances between us, we are now all connecting globally to shine a light on what’s happening in the world with intersex adults and children and to push for change. We snapped this pic to send to another activist across the pond who sadly was unable to attend the event, our dear friend @manchesternick, we’re standing in front of some #startrek art to also show #Trekkie solidarity with our awesome ally💥🪐🚀🛸🤓😎❤️💜💛 Now I’m home and have so much to do before work tomorrow, 1st priority before all of this paperwork - TV catch up and sofa down-time after a fantastic, exciting and special weekend of coming together for #intersexawareness. https://www.instagram.com/p/B4ufQSaHUJ2/?igshid=u7x77t7j2atu

#Repost #Follow @out.georgia October 26 is #IntersexAwarenessDay, and OUT Georgia Business Alliance celebrates the visibility, lived experiences, and contributions of our incredible #intersex siblings here in Georgia and beyond! October 26, 1996 marks the anniversary of the first public demonstration by intersex people in the United States. Members of the now defunct Intersex Society of North America and their allies arrived in Boston, MA at the annual conference of the American Academy of Pediatrics. They demonstrated and shared their pain in a very public way, denouncing non-consensual infant genital surgeries and demanding the medical industry take notice. Doctors dismissed the activists as a vocal minority in a 1997 New York Times article covering the intersex action. The tides are slowly changing. TODAY, intersex people and our allies are following in their footsteps, organizing in cities around the U.S., and around the world.
