Happy Inters*x Awareness Day! 💜💛

Today is a day that marks the first public demonstration by inters*x people in the United States and is a call to action to end shame, secrecy and non-consensual g*nital cosmetic surgeries on inters*x children.

Inters*x is an umbrella term for variations in reproductive or s*x anatomy. Variations can appear in a person's chromosomes, hormones, g*nitals or internal organs like the te**es and ovaries. Inters*x characteristics can be identified at birth but may not be discovered until puberty or later in life.

Inters*x people are often forgotten in conversations about identity, gender and s*xuality. It is important to educate yourself on inters*x identities and affirm inters*x people.
