Today is Intersex Awareness Day and with a painting I made, I’d like to introduce my mom!
They are an artist, activist, author, oracle, generally amazing human being—
and they are also Intersex 💛
I made this painting for them because I am so so proud of them, and i wanted to celebrate them today! In the little way i can :] 💛
The intersex community has gone through an immeasurable amount of struggle, a lot of people don’t even know whats going on because its not talked about so I just wanted to use this day to show my mom, a person who lives their life out loud, and has been a light in so many lives, they have helped so many people intersex and otherwise.
They are just a wonderful person and they deserve to be treated with out prejudice.
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 👀
Today is... #IntersexAwarenessDay - an internationally observed day to highlight the human rights issues faced by intersex people, and to push forward for recognition and equality.
Excited to share the official trailer for "Only Love Matters", the #film I wrote for KQ Movies Ltd, which is the first feature film in the history of cinema set in Britain and featuring lead intersex characters. "Two women, two timelines, two generations, and always the one thing that truly matters: Love."

That is not all though, the film is having its world premiere this week in Marbella Spain, and its UK Premiere in BFI Southbank, London on the 27th of October 2023.

Image: A coloured sketch of the intersex nonbinary character Stevonnie from the animated series Steven Universe. They look like a human with brown skin, curly dark hair in a ponytail, and a faceted pink gem at their navel. They are framed with a yellow ring to represent intersexuality and are dressed in intersex pride colours, a yellow jacket over a purple shirt, and are smiling and holding up their hands which are forming the shape of a heart.
My fav, Stevonnie, for Intersex Awareness Day (October 26 2019) 💛💜
For all my fellow intersex people out there: you are valuable, valid, and a Good Experience!
Happy intersex awareness day from Brinly who is intersex and Basil who supports intersex people like you should. I love all my intersex friends and followers ✨

#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.
