Intersex Day of Remembrance, also known as Intersex Solidarity Day, is an international awareness day that aims to draw attention to the issues faced by members of the intersex community. It is observed on November 8, marking the birthday of Herculine Barbin. Herculine was a hermaphrodite (we now say intersex person) who wrote a memoir about their life and the tragedies they faced in the nineteenth century. It is an honor to me to have been born November 10th, two days after Herculine. May this world change for all of us born intersex.
