America is going in the wrong direction for intersex children
Lawmakers are criminalizing care for trans youth, while permitting irreversible harm to intersex babies
My latest commentary, in the Washington Blade: "You cannot claim to respect bodily autonomy while denying it selectively, based on whose bodies make lawmakers uncomfortable."

"Those of us who are intersex have always faced medical and social harm. But what is happening now is something altogether different: the governmentβs attempt to erase our very existence."

Trump administration policies will create worse health care for intersex people like me
βIt seems the Trump administration is arguing that people like me are neither male nor female but simply βdisordered,ββ writes Kimberly Zieselman.
A new piece from @xoxykz.bsky.social on the US government's intersex erasure. Despite Trump's insistence that only 2 sexes exist, "Intersex Americans like me canβt be erased by medicine or the government. We arenβt going anywhere, and we deserve better medical care." www.statnews.com/2025/03/20/i...

This is exactly what we want to see from the United Nations, on the heels of the landmark intersex resolution by HRC55 in Geneva: strong support for intersex human rights around the globe.
We are so proud to bring powerful activists and advocates to these halls of power.

Intersex people βhave been documented for millennia. Itβs nothing new. Itβs not as if the president could say, βoh, this is some new trend, some fad,β β Bratcher Goodwin said. βWhat the presidentβs executive order and also this guidance suggests is that theyβre invisible."
