It is impossible for me to please everyone in the intersex and transgender community. I do the best I can to respect everyone.
I always say: when you have met ONE intersex person you have met ONE intersex person. Some of us are cis-gender (agree with our birth assignment) and heterosexual, and not needing nor wanting the support of the LGBTQ+ Rainbow. Yet, some of us appear LGBTQ+ and want those added supports. It is a balancing act as an educator of Gender/Intersex topics, and as an activist to try to please everyone. I have the best intentions always and am always open to suggestions. You can write me in the contact form below.
I do what I am doing mostly to save children from nonconsenting cosmetic genital surgeries and to teach the world to give ALL children the self-determination of gender.
I am not doing this for financial gain obviously. I am doing this to save children. I am not doing this for fame, to be a rock star or to be the most popular. I am doing this for children. I have made it very clear to the world that it is our self-determination that is a human right.
I have never excluded a soul, not even those who are NOT intersex. I say: Gender/intersex for a reason. Gender Identity/Biology. Both different but work together. This means I include transgender in my human rights quest.
All humans, regardless of their biological sex being endosex or intersex, have the right to self-determine their own gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation; and it should have NOTHING to do with their genitals, reproductive system, chromosomes, and hormones unless THEY want it to be about that.
No human being should be aborted, physically mutilated, psychiatrically violated, or coerced into having surgery due to laws, social stressors to conform, or being a psychosocial emergency. Those who conform should NOT be the only people who get privilege in society while casting out those who do not conform violently.
For those adults who do elect to have genital reassignment surgery, it is also our human right to alter our bodily appearance. However, these surgeries should never be done on non-consenting intersex children or due to the coercion of government laws claiming we have no choice but to do so to change our gender identity.
Last, I feel it is our human right to be who we are naturally, as intersex or transgender people, and to not have to abide to social rules at the cost of losing our fertility, orgasm and genital integrity. Unless of course, that is our choice to do so as a consenting adult.
I do not care how one labels themselves, or how one is diagnosed. Human Rights are Human Rights violations and this world has to stop hurting people.
