Happy Intersex Awareness Day! 💜💛

We're sending lots of love to our intersex community today and every day. You are brilliant, unique, beautiful human beings, and we appreciate you for the amazing work you do!

Not sure what it means to be Intersex? 

Intersex Human Rights Australia explains that: 

"Intersex people have innate variations of sex characteristics that differ from medical and social norms for female or male bodies.

Intersex is an umbrella term for a diverse range of different traits that can be determined prenatally, at birth, during puberty and at other times. These traits include androgen insensitivity, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, 17-beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 3 deficiency, and many more.

Because their bodies are perceived as different, intersex people are at risk of stigmatisation, violence and harmful practices, including forced or coercive medical interventions intended to make their bodies more typically female or male.”
