Know what this means for intersex students, too: freedom from sex discrimination includes harassment due to sex traits, such as variations in their hormones or internal or external anatomy.

Every single student deserves the freedom to be themselves and do their best at school.

Every student deserves to participate in school free from discrimination and harassment. We're thrilled to see reinforced protection for intersex students! Now, we ask the Biden administration to clarify the rights of student athletes by finalizing the athletics-specific rule.

It was an honor working with Shelby Astle, PhD and my colleague Bria Brown-King from interACT on this meaningful project. Unsurprisingly, intersex individuals/individuals with variations in sex characteristics desire to make their own healthcare decisions.

This is the study to read: the one with a critical intersex perspective 💜💛⬇️

Honored that The New York Times published my Letter to the Editor on The Language of Gender Identity nytimes.com/2024/04/17/opi… interACT

A musician with the band Dool and judge on Drag Race Holland, Raven van Dorst speaks out about being intersex. 'I felt like I was living the lie the doctors forced me in. They put me in this female straitjacket from which I have been trying to get out of.'

Honestly this is such a simple way to make medical care intersex inclusive. Just select what’s relevant to you. As long as they don’t do anything weird like lock options out based on other ones, or assume unmentioned things like menstruation based on external genital choice

I got on the waiting list at the NGS in 2017 and then went back to school.
It’s quicker to become a dr than be seen by one if you’re trans.

Meanwhile, as an intersex baby there was no delay in my being subjected to harmful, nonconsensual, irreversible genital surgery.

'Human nature is more expansive than the binary categories we are limited to. In reality, there are more physiological patterns that disprove binary sex and gender than support it.'

Many intersex people wrote to dispute a claim that human sex is binary:

I know we all want more historical/mythological trans representation but we can’t misgender intersex folk and steal their representation in order to do so. Hermaphroditus was an intersex man, not transsexual. Listen to intersex people. Don’t erase them.

This is vital recognition of those that have the trauma of being subjected to involuntary #GenitalMutilation before the age of consent. #BodilyAutonomy
