An excellent thread for #IntersexDayOfSolidarity by @jenniekermode.bsky.social
When I found out that I'm intersex I knew, statistically, there were lots of other people like me out there, but only about a dozen were publicly visible. It has been a great joy to me to watch this movement grow over the decades and begin to exert real pressure for our human rights to be respected.
