October 26, 1996 marks the anniversary of the first public demonstration by intersex people in the United States. At that time intersex advocates demonstrated during the American Pediatrics Conference demanding an end to non-consensual surgeries on Intersex folks and better understanding and treatments. Intersex people are those folks who differ internally or externally from what the general public understands to be male or female. We make up about 2% of the population and most intersex people don't know that they are intersex unless there is a problem. I speak publicly about what it is like to live as an intersex person and you may have seen my presentation at Keystone or Atlanta Comfort. Intersex people are as common as redheads or twins and you probably pass several each day. We are the I in the LGBTIQ+ and are just normal folks who aren't awful. Perhaps celebrate this day with us and take the time to learn more by contacting the interACT Advocates for Intersex Youth group. There may even be a person with intersex traits in your own family. Safe Journey, Marg Produe
