Happy Intersex Awareness Week! (October 21st-26th)

A purple and yellow infographic with an intersex flag that says: Intersex Awareness Week. Intersex people are born with variations in their sex traits or reproductive anatomy that do not fit traditional conceptions about male and female bodies. Learn the facts. On the right side of the image, there are two people faced away from the camera. One has an intersex flag yarmulke and long dark curly hair with a yellow shirt covered in clouds and rainbows. The other has a yellow knitted bandana reading “intersex” over their dark hair braids while wearing a purple t-shirt.

A purple and yellow infographic. It says, "Intersex is more common than you think. Nearly 2% of all people are intersex. If you’ve met 50 people, chances are you’ve met an intersex person." There is a photograph of a white intersex person named Kassie. She has short, dark hair and is giving a peace sign hand sign. She is wearing goose earrings and a pink sweater.

A purple and yellow infographic. It says, "Intersex is not a disorder. While some intersex people may have additional health needs, there’s nothing wrong with bodies looking a little different. Hormones, gonads, genitals, and even chromosomes exist on a spectrum. Intersex is beautiful!". There is a photograph of a white intersex person named Courtney, who has long ombre blonde hair and glasses. They are wearing a tank top with the colors of the intersex flag.

A purple and yellow infographic. It says, "Intersex Describes a person’s body. Intersex is usually used to describe innate physical traits, not gender. Like anyone, intersex people can have any gender and any sexual orientation. There are intersex men, women, nonbinary people, and others!". There is a photograph of an East Asian intersex man named Justin. He has short dark hair and rests his chin on his hand, wearing a red t-shirt.

A purple and yellow infographic that says, "Intersex people deserve control over their bodies. Despite opposition from healthcare and human rights groups, surgeries to “normalize” children’s bodies based on stereotypes continue today. They often result in complications, loss of sensation & sterilization. Let kids grow up and decide for themselves!". There is a photograph of a Black intersex person named Desmond. They have dark, curly hair pulled back, glasses, and facial hair. They wear a mostly black outfit with many details of color, and stand at the beach with a forearm crutch.

A purple and yellow infographic. It says, "Intersex allyship is EASY. E: Educate others about intersex people through social media, in hospitals and classrooms, and with friends and family. A: Adapt your language to avoid unscientific gendering of body parts. “XY and XX” are not “male and female chromosomes.” S: Speak up to question stereotypes about people—”real womens’ bodies do this” or “real men don’t look like that.” Y: You can be an advocate for respect and equality in schools and workplaces, and gendered spaces like restrooms and athletics."

A purple and yellow infographic. It says, "Learn about intersex people. Covers of books, movie posters and images for: 1 “Every Body” on Prime Video 2) “Nobody Needs to Know” memoir 3) “Inverse Cowgirl” memoir 4) “What’s it like to be intersex” Buzzfeed video 5) “Youth Stories on interACTadvocates.org"

On Intersex Awareness Day, we ask the world to support intersex people in our right to live authentically and unapologetically. But one day hasn’t been enough—so welcome to #IntersexAwarenessWeek!

Intersex Awareness Day, October 26th, marks a historic day in the start of the intersex movement. A group of intersex people and their allies protested at an American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) meeting nearly thirty years ago, to oppose the medical abuse and discrimination they’d endured.

Today, we are still fighting for that bodily autonomy. We're fighting for our freedom to exist as we are, beyond the stereotypical sex binary. We're fighting against the belief that doctors' opinions of how our bodies look matter more than ours do.

But we are also visible. The intersex-inclusive flag is flown across the country. Intersex people's bodies are starting to be taught in health classes and across medical schools. Intersex people are featured in films, memoirs, runways and on the morning news. We are here, and we're not hiding again.

Learn more & educate others! Look through our images and share them far and wide! Linked below is our Intersex FAQ for all the basic questions, and we'll be sharing new resources and tips to be an ally all week long! (We will only be blazing this post, however!)

We also suggest checking out other United States intersex organizations such as Intersex Awareness, Intersex Justice Project, Club Intersex, TIGERRS, The Houston Intersex Society, and InterConnect!

For those not in the USA, here is a list of international intersex organizations!
