We see a world where intersex people make their own choices about their bodies. Policy & media org. 📸🦋➡️ @ interact_adv
Intersex people have existed since the beginning of time and will exist until the end of time. No law, executive order, judge or advocate of pseudoscience can erase us. Their goal is to conceal any existence outside of an impossibly narrow sex binary. Our existence is resistance.
Human rights organisation urges US trans people to update passports ‘as soon as possible’ thepinknews.com/2025/07/09/acl…
Gender-affirming care bans with "intersex exceptions" can still be fought, even after the Supreme Court decision. A law professor explains how courts could overturn these bans using the intersex exceptions as evidence of bias and sex-stereotyping. washingtonblade.com/2025/06/25/leg…
Andrew Sullivan’s NYT essay reinforces harmful transphobic tropes and misses the opportunity to unite the LGBTQI+ community. Professor Elizabeth Reis wonders where the worry is for the children who ARE facing medical harm—intersex kids. nursingclio.org/2025/07/16/our…
I knew something was off when I started growing facial hair at 12 years old. Now it's something I’ve come to embrace. I am a masculine, intersex woman. I am at home in my body and refuse to change it just to fit your restraining expectations of womanhood. interactadvocates.org/i-wont-change-…
"But this isn’t just a story about one sex worker’s rough night. Ponyboi is intersex, after all — and like many “queer films” (and not just “films featuring queer characters”), Ponyboi is a movie uniquely interested in the fluidity of identity." them.us/ponyboi-review
Medicaid cuts disproportionately harm both disabled and intersex people. “Optional” services would be the first to be cut, but we know that these services aren’t “optional.” They are vital to our survival. Youth advocate Courtney Felle writes for @AAPD. aapd.com/disability-adv…
Resharing: For @delosLAtimes, I talked to River Gallo, the star and writer of the crime-laced character study PONYBOI. We chatted about Intersex representation, Bruce Springsteen, and the baby that prompted the story. The film is in theaters now. Link in first reply.
Grateful for River Gallo's storytelling & activism – and for the fact that this #Logo30 honoree's thriller, 'Ponyboi,' is now out in the world 💜
We are proud to partner on a night celebrating intersex activist, model & filmmaker River Gallo, known for their film Ponyboi (2025) & starring in Every Body (2023). Hear about life as the child of immigrant parents, activism & their film career! Tickets: theatren.com/movie/every-bo…
Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) is commonly associated with intersex genital differences, and sometimes leads to genital surgeries on infants and young children. But are those surgeries even necessary? A mom and nurse busts common misconceptions. interactadvocates.org/genital-surger…
Title IX turns 53 today! This law was meant to protect ALL students. Trump’s attacks on intersex, trans, and queer students twists Title IX into something it was never meant to be. We will fight for schools where all students are safe, supported, and seen. #ProtectTitleIX @nwlc
The Trump administration routinely and wrongly calls gender-affirming care “chemical/surgical mutilation.” “You want to talk about genital mutilation? You want to talk about what they've done to intersex children historically?” Dr. Wong said. From @KBIA: kbia.org/health-wealth/…
Good morning to everyone who knows sex is not binary! There is no clear-cut division: not chromosomes, not even gametes. When people dictate a binary sex, it's not about biology, but restricting human rights. Just ask Scientific American. scientificamerican.com/article/heres-…
Today the Supreme Court issued a decision in US v Skrmetti, upholding Tennessee's gender-affirming care ban for youth. It contains a hypocritical exception for nonconsensual surgeries on intersex infants & children. Our communities will not back down. interactadvocates.org/supreme-court-…
Reminder that intersex people, too, need gender-affirming care—even cisgender intersex people. Intersex people assigned female at birth whose bodies tolerate testosterone best are at risk of losing access to necessary, lifesaving hormones. teenvogue.com/story/6-inters…
The Supreme Court has upheld a law that not only bars gender-affirming care for minors, but also allows for the same hormonal & surgical interventions when performed on nonconsenting infants & young children with intersex variations.

If you want to cut through all of the noise and BS surrounding the Supreme Court's decision to uphold Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care, you need only read the last paragraph of Justice Sotomayor's dissent. Clear, concise, and brilliant.
No matter what, we are showing up with pride from parades to state capitols. We are strong: building support networks for our communities & preparing for legal battles still to come. We are free: we exist & will not be erased, whether or not the Court is ready to acknowledge us.
The ONLY mutilation of children is intersex kids being forced to have surgery to fit a false binary. Ironic when it's "Gender Critical" ideology that says intersex kids have to be forced into their "binary sex" model. When they'll accuse trans ppl and allies of "mutilating kids"
