I will now use MOGAI instead of LGBTQIA+

Today marks the FIRST day of my changing everything I say to MOGAI, instead of LGBTQIA+ MOGAI is said: "Mo" + "gay" and/or M-O-G-A-I "MOGAI" stands for marginalized orientations, marginalized gender alignments, and intersex.

Eugenics & Genocide: The Male & Female Binary Myth

My thoughts for the day:  The invention of sex being only typical male or typical female bodies happened in the late 1800s.

These Human Rights Organizations and many more say it is time to Stop Intersex Genital Mutilation (IGM).

All these organizations say it is time to give intersex children their self-determination over their own gender identity and allow the child to grow up to decide on their own if they need surgery or not.   Most surgeries done on intersex children are cosmetic in nature, unnecessary and done without the child's informed consent.… Continue reading These Human Rights Organizations and many more say it is time to Stop Intersex Genital Mutilation (IGM).
