Intersex Awareness Day is a day that seeks to raise awareness about intersex people and the struggles that they face in society. Intersex people are individuals whose physical or genetic makeup does not fit the traditional definitions of male and female. The day is intended to celebrate intersex people and recognise the unique challenges they face in society.
Intersex Awareness Day was first celebrated in 1996, when a group of intersex and transgender activists organized a public demonstration in Boston, Massachusetts. (https://heckinunicorn.com/blogs/heckin-unicorn-blog/lgbt-awareness-days-in-2023-comprehensive-all-you-need-to-know#oct-6)
So my questions of the week are - what positive lived experiences have you had as an intersex person? What would you like to share with others? What needs changing to make sure intersex people are supported? How do you feel about LGBTQ+ or LGBTQIA+ acronyms?
