How to Add Intersex Responsibly to Your LGBTQ+ Human Rights Efforts
Here is a way to add the “I” for intersex, responsibly to LGBT+. Demographics show that about 50% of intersex people identify as LGBTQ+ in some way. This means Intersex people will receive the collateral damage of homophobia, transphobia, queerphobia, in the form of intersex phobia. So please consider adding intersex responsibly to your human rights efforts.… Continue reading How to Add Intersex Responsibly to Your LGBTQ+ Human Rights Efforts
Poem: On this 5th Month Without You
There is no more suffering. And now I must live on. Your song on the radio; Without you sounds so wrong. My tears cry in agony; The pain of vacancy.

To this day, people in power and control invent what is "normal" and have judged, pathologized, and… Continue reading Some People in Power and Control Will Not Stop Regulating Our Intersex Lives as Nonconsenting Children.

A Call for Action: Against Anti-Youth Transgender Bills
Many anti-youth transgender bills have exclusions that promote the continued surgical harm of innocent intersex kids. In these bills, they will call an intersex child a“disorder of sex development” and wrongfully justify continuing to do cosmetic, medically unnecessary surgeries on non-consenting children.
