This Transgender Awareness Week, we celebrate trans young people. Trans & intersex are different - trans people have a gender other than that assumed at birth, & intersex people are born with variations in reproductive anatomy. Some people are both! Regardless, we will find our freedom together.

Intersex people deserve legal protection. So far, no state has outright banned nonconsensual intersex surgeries, but multiple have affirmed intersex rights. Youth advocate Tim created a map of state laws—both passed and failed—to educate change-makers. 🔎 bit.ly/intersex-legislation

Today is #IntersexDayOfRemembrance, a day highlighting the human rights issues faced by intersex people 💜💛 Art by @thefoxfisher 🎨

Our members are fighting to pass the #EqualityAct to protect intersex Americans' rights & dignity, because we know there's no justice for our community without justice for our intersex siblings. #IntersexDayofSolidarity

Thank you to all the allies who stand with us today, and to every individual intersex person brave enough to speak up and claim space. One day we will live in a world which puts science and humanity first and doesn't go all out to erase those who are inconvenient. #IntersexDayOfSolidarity

Although FGM is, rightly, banned in the UK, it's still acceptable for doctors to modify the bodies of intersex infants even when there is no medical need, purely to ease parental and social anxieties. This can leave people with lifelong pain and other complications.

When I found out that I'm intersex I knew, statistically, there were lots of other people like me out there, but only about a dozen were publicly visible. It has been a great joy to me to watch this movement grow over the decades and begin to exert real pressure for our human rights to be respected.

(🧵1/4) November 8 is Intersex Day of Remembrance, also known as Intersex Day of Solidarity. Today, we honor and remember the members of the intersex community who we’ve lost over the years.

2 in every 100 people are intersex. Every time LGBTQ+ rights are under attack, intersex people’s healthcare, dignity and autonomy are at stake.  This Intersex Day of Solidarity, join orgs like @interact.bsky.social in the fight for intersex rights. 💜💛 interactadvocates.org/get-involved/ 

This Intersex Day of Solidarity, can you request intersex books from your local library? interACT Advocate Misha presented a guide on adding intersex books into circulation to the New York Library Association. Whether you are a librarian or patron, check it out! bit.ly/intersex-libraries-video

Today, #IntersexDayofSolidarity, calls us to remember the ongoing struggles for bodily autonomy, dignity & justice—& find strength in solidarity. The next generation of intersex advocates is answering the call. We are thrilled to celebrate our Youth Cohort accomplishments. 🧵

What we, as a country, do to help marginalized people and those among us who are in need is a reflection of our values as a society. Taking a stand and caring for the vulnerable and marginalized among us may help more than them. In the end, it may save all of us.

What’s at stake for intersex people today? Legal existence, bodily autonomy, and attempted erasure by the administration. This is why intersex and trans rights are deeply connected. #IntersexAwarenessWeek #TransIntersexSolidarity

Intersex Awareness Week may be coming to a close, but our fight for intersex recognition and fundamental freedoms continues year-round. Learn more about why the fight for LGBTQIA+ equality means intersex people, too: https://www.hrc.org/news/lgbtq-equality-means-intersex-people-too

Intersex people have always existed. Did you know this Washington-era general is thought to be intersex? Polish war hero Casimir Pulaski fought for Polish independence, saved Washington’s life at the Battle of Brandywine —and yes, was maybe intersex. www.queerty.com/was-this-was...

Authors and theorists shine a light on the realities of intersex lives.

Advocating for yourself at the doctor’s can be tough, especially as an intersex person. But it doesn’t have to be. This #IntersexAwarenessWeek, we're proud to share @interact.bsky.social#IntersexAwarenessWeeks new Patient Self-Advocacy Toolkit: https://bit.ly/intersex-self-advocacy

Let’s celebrate #IntersexAwarenessWeek! Learn all about the colors and shapes of the #Intersex flag. ✨ Follow us and share this post with a friend to spread intersex awareness! 💛💜

There is no wrong way to have a body. Intersex peoples’ bodies just develop a little differently to the usual male/female binary paths–and that’s perfectly okay. #IntersexAwarenessWeek @interact_adv interactadvocates.org/faq/

Over 50 evaluations by United Nations human rights treaty bodies on the conduct of various countries have concluded that nonconsensual surgeries to alter the sex characteristics of children born with intersex traits are human rights violations. @hrw.org www.hrw.org/news/2025/10...

Intersex people’s stories have power—they can change perspectives on sex and gender, create new understanding, and help others feel less alone. We’re asking intersex people this #IntersexAwarenessWeek why you speak out. Share where you have seen stories make a difference! #WhyISpeakOut

There are no LGBTQIA+ rights without the I. Intersex people, born with variations in their sex traits, are 2% of all people, but are so often erased. When our rights are under attack, intersex rights are too. Follow our friends at @interact.bsky.social to learn more about Intersex identity. 💛💜

"As an intersex person I want the US to be free from the harmful concept of sexual dimorphism, and if I can help on a small scale then that's enough for me" wrt humans specifically, I emphatically agree 👏💜👏 @interact.bsky.social, can you pls tell me the name of this the person who quoted this?*

Why do intersex people have a human rights movement? Deaux-Deaux speaks out to spread awareness about intersex genital mutilation. #IntersexAwarenessWeek

Listen to, and lift up, intersex voices. Stand up for, and protect, intersex rights. Learn from, and support, intersex organizations. …and teach others to do the same.

Every intersex story matters. Being intersex can feel deeply personal, and breaking the silence isn’t easy—but in community, many of us find pride and purpose. This #IntersexAwarenessWeek we asked why intersex people speak out, and you answered!

It's Intersex Awareness Day - did you know you can be intersex and not know it? Some intersex traits are noticed at birth, but not all! Others become visible during puberty, in adulthood like while navigating (in)fertility, or upon discovery of early childhood interventions to hide intersex traits.

Many of us are told a story our whole lives, one where the world has a neat sex and gender binary. This story oppresses intersex people—and to an extent—everyone. This #IntersexAwarenessDay, Sam invites you to disrupt your own ideas of sex and gender. interactadvocates.org/disrupt-the-...

Transand intersex people are united in the right to make decisions about our own bodies. Every attack on trans people’s healthcare also promotes harm towards intersex people. Our liberation is tied together. 🏳️⚧️💜💛 #WhyWeShowUp #IntersexAwarenessWeek #TransIntersexSolidarity

Because anti-trans sports bans inaccurately define sex as a narrow binary, many intersex people are prevented from experiencing the joys and other benefits that come from athletic participation. Everyone deserves the freedom to be themselves and play the sports they love.

A reminder on Intersex Awareness Day: all intersex people deserve to live free of forced medical procedures and they should thrive with respect for their bodily integrity. 💜💛

To our intersex community, allies, family and friends, we wish you all a happy and healthy Intersex Awareness Day 2025!

Happy #IntersexAwarenessDay! Intersex is a broad term that encompasses variations in sex characteristics or reproductive anatomy. These variations can manifest in several ways including differences in genitalia, hormones, internal anatomy, or chromosomes.
