Intersex people have existed since the beginning of time and will exist until the end of time. No law, executive order, judge or advocate of pseudoscience can erase us. Their goal is to conceal any existence outside of an impossibly narrow sex binary. Our existence is resistance.

Idaho’s HB 675, which would have criminalized gender-affirming care for trans youth, is officially dead! As we celebrate this heartening victory, we cannot ignore the Idaho senate’s alarming admission that the bill was pulled not because of its shameful transphobia, but because

interACT is thrilled to announce our co-sponsorship of California's #SB201. By passing this bill, CA would affirm that cosmetic procedures permanently affecting fertility, puberty, and sexual function must be delayed for an individual's informed consent. #DelayIsOkay

The discrimination faced by Caster Semenya today is another example of the intense ignorance faced by women athletes who have differences in their sex traits. Intersex women are women. Trans women are women. ALL women's bodies are different. #thread

Greece has taken a momentous step today for human rights by banning #intersex genital mutilation, becoming one of the first countries to do so.

Intersex people often have chromosomes that do not “match up” with their external genitalia. But some doctors still believe it is okay to permanently change the genitalia and other sex traits of intersex children by recommending unnecessary surgeries to parents. #MyIntersexBody

Replying to @interACT_adv
it didn’t give a clear enough pass to doctors who perform harmful and unnecessary surgeries on intersex infants. Everyone deserves to feel at home in their bodies.

Women with variations in their sex traits are among the 2% of the population born with a difference in their chromosomes, hormones, or reproductive anatomy. This is not the same as being transgender—although ALL women deserve to compete without discrimination.

Did you know sex testing in the Olympics started under the Nazi regime, which discriminated against a successful intersex athlete? "These policies—and the rigid notions of biological sex that animate them—come directly from Nazi officials." #Olympics2024

Happy #NationalNonbinaryDay! Great time for reminders: 💛 Intersex ≠ the same as/automatically nonbinary gender 💛 Intersex ≠ always wanting third gender/ID markers 💛 Some intersex people have nonbinary gender, some don't 💛 Body parts don't define gender 💜 YOU are valid

Twitter is regularly flagging and hiding our education about intersex youth under claims of "sensitive content." We will fight and appeal this censorship. We have the right to exist openly as #intersex, and so do the young people born with variations in their sex traits.
