So few people even know we exist, and the current US administration is trying to erase us as part of their attack against transgender people. If we don't speak for ourselves, who will? Why I Speak Out.

Why I Speak Out. ​​Everyone should be able to choose what is best for their body. I was diagnosed with Klinefelters at 15 and given a choice to go on testosterone or not. But depending on the state I might not have that same choice if I’m transgender. Intersex and trans rights go hand in hand.

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

Reproductive freedom means choice & consent for intersex people, too. Many intersex people have that freedom stripped from them due to nonconsensual sterilizing surgeries in childhood. This #IntersexAwarenessWeek we show up for reproductive choice for all. #WhyWeShowUp

We all have the right to make informed decisions about our own bodies — including transgender and intersex people. Our liberation is tied together, and this Intersex Awareness Week we show up to encourage trans and intersex solidarity 🏳️‍⚧️💜💛 #WhyWeShowUp #IntersexAwarenessWeek

Intersex voices deserve visibility, autonomy, and pride. 💛💜
This week, we learn and uplift.

Why I Show Up. People have always been born with intersex traits; but since the 19th century, physicians have tried to hormonally and surgically “normalize” these bodies. I show up for intersex rights because everyone deserves to make their own medical decisions about how their bodies will look and function. Elizabeth Reis displays her book, Bodies In Doubt.

Why I Show Up. The sex/gender binary system is gender-based violence. Fabián Giménez Gatto smiles gently at the camera with arms crossed.

Dismantling hate starts with dismantling ignorance. It’s easier to hate something you don’t understand, and harder to hate someone you recognize as human.

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/
