A Call for Action: Against Anti-Youth Transgender Bills

Mx. Anunnaki Ray Marquez

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.

Why trans hate, transphobia and homophobia are​ hurting millions of intersex kids.

Mx. Anunnaki Ray Marquez

If you can, please take note of all the organizations that support CAH (Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia and The Cares Foundation), XXY/Klinefelter's Syndrome Organizations, and even Hypospadias Organizations.

Why medical prejudice and malpractice didn’t​ kill me.

Mx. Anunnaki Ray Marquez

A friend shared this quote with me when I was dying and saving myself from the horrors of forced gender assignment back in 2014.
