Intersex Awareness Day is October 26. Here’s how to show up for the intersex rights movement.
JackGreenEarth ( @JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee ) 21•8 months agoEnd genital mutilation of children for all people. Make that all mutilation.
Fauxreigner ( @Fauxreigner@beehaw.org ) 10•8 months agoIt’s worth clarifying this to “non-consensual”, since “ending genital mutilation of children” is the drum pounded by the anti-trans movement.
JackGreenEarth ( @JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee ) 3•8 months agoOf course, non consensual. But you can’t ask a 3 year old for consent. You probably can for a 14 year old.
Lophostemon ( @Lophostemon@aussie.zone ) 11•8 months agoOMG, this is exactly the sort of thing that gives the MAGAt christofacists nightmares.

Thank you! According to Wikipedia only 5 countries prohibit mutilation of intersex children. The other 190 countries do not. This affects as many people as have red hair. Being intersex is a normal and natural variation, not a disorder or mutation.
