Working to end invasive and unnecessary surgeries on intersex youth by empowering intersex people of color as change-makers.
We want to exist freely in our communities without scrutiny from the medical establishment. We also desire a world in which all intersex children are free from medical harm and make medical decisions in partnership with their parents and doctors.
Our mission to #EndIntersexSurgery is not an end point to liberation. We must coalesce with other movement groups, including but not limited to: reproductive justice, prison abolition, Black liberation, indigenous people’s rights and sovereignty, Latinx liberation, and other groups working toward freedom from oppression. These are our tactics:
Working with other intersex organizations in the United States and globally who are committed to ending intersex genital surgeries,
Educating the people about intersex human rights violations via empowering intersex people of color as leaders in this movement,
Clearly articulating our demands, in coalition with other groups, to protect the bodily sovereignty of intersex children and young adults,
Targeting hospitals that are performing these surgeries through direct action organizing with intersex groups and allies,
Developing media that is aligned with our interest as intersex people of color that represents our voices, our passions and our goals.
