Ableism is the #1 form of discrimination. It’s killing us now, just as it did before. Don’t let history repeat itself. Speak up. Don't support laws like the "assisted suicide", I beg you!!

This isn’t just about the past. It’s happening again. Governments and societies are still trying to erase us.

Ableism is still killing us. Disabled people are being targeted today by systems and policies worldwide that deny us healthcare, support, and autonomy. We’re treated as expendable.

Disabled people were seen as burdens. Their lives were labeled “unworthy.” They became test subjects for the horrors that followed.

They were isolated, institutionalized, and killed—often without anyone to fight for them. Many died alone, without family or community to support them.

By framing intersex traits as anomalies to "fix," these policies reinforce harmful narratives that dehumanize intersex people instead of accepting their natural diversity. This fuels stigma, discrimination, and isolation.

Cases like Dana Zzyym's fight for an "X" gender marker on passports show the importance of federal recognition for nonbinary/intersex individuals. These decrees could force new legal battles just to maintain existing rights.

Intersex advocates have worked for years to stop harmful surgeries, gain legal recognition, and promote acceptance. These policies could reverse progress, emboldening resistance to intersex rights and perpetuating harmful practices.

Modern science recognizes that sex isn't strictly binary. There are numerous natural variations in chromosomes, hormones, and anatomy. Ignoring this perpetuates misunderstanding and marginalization of intersex people.

The binary policy could pressure medical professionals and parents to perform surgeries on intersex children, framing natural variations as "abnormal." This violates bodily autonomy and can have lifelong physical and psychological consequences.

Federal documents like passports or IDs will only recognize binary sexes. Intersex people could be forced to choose—or have one imposed on them—leading to misrepresentation, identity erasure, and discrimination in healthcare, education, and beyond.

Many intersex individuals faced non-consensual surgeries as infants to "correct" their bodies to fit binary norms. These policies, while not explicitly endorsing such practices, create an environment that implicitly supports them.

By defining sex strictly as male or female based on traits identifiable at birth, intersex people are forced into categories that may not align with their biology or identity. This erasure denies their existence and perpetuates harmful stigma.
