Intersex Representation In Fictional Media- The Good, The Bad, and The “What Were They Thinking?" - Gaysi Intersex representation across different forms of media has long been problematic. Often, this has stemmed from a lack of research into not just the medical and biological side of being intersex, but ...

Intersex representation across different forms of media has long been problematic. Let’s look at a few examples of intersex characters and how they’ve been portrayed—the good, the bad and the ugly.

A screenshot of the "Impact Counter" linked in my post, showing the number of estimated deaths so far due to USAID cuts. It says: "Deaths caused by funding discontinuation: 158.746 adult deaths 330.152 child deaths Deaths per hour: 88 deaths"

The estimated number of deaths so far due to USAID cuts are truly mind-boggling. Musk will be complicit in the unnecessary deaths of millions of people.

LGBTI movements are driving change but they’re being outspent, outmatched, and underfunded. Meanwhile, anti-LGBTI forces are ramping up funding to roll back rights.

That’s why the Fund Our Futures campaign exists. The goal is $150M by June 25. 👉 Learn more: fundourfutures.org

The EHRC Guidance is a wicked exercise in removing rights from trans people - and is bad too for employers and service providers, those outside gender norms, people with disabilities and the economy.

The global human rights landscape is facing an unprecedented funding crisis, and intersex-led movements are on the frontlines of its impact. This session will bring together funders and intersex movement leaders to discuss: • Key data on global intersex funding • The disproportionate impact of the recent funding cuts on intersex-led organizing • Strategic proposals to sustain and strengthen intersex advocacy worldwide

The intersex movement’s life-saving work is at risk due to recent cuts in donor government funding, on top of already low support.

Join GPP, IHRF, and partners for a grantmaker-only webinar on how to protect intersex movements.

This "debate" about who should use what toilet doesn’t benefit anyone. It doesn’t fix the underfunding of women's refuges, NHS waiting lists leaving women in terrible pain, mums skipping meals to feed their kids. How about we get on with tackling the real issues affecting women?

Labour's new policy - of humiliating trans people by requiring them constantly to self-identify - we believe puts the UK (again) in breach of its obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights and will seek a declaration of incompatability. goodlaw.social/0r6l

Fight club :)

Yesterday the Supreme Court said (having refused to hear from any trans people): "this interpretation would not be disadvantageous to or remove protection from trans people with or without a GRC."

Today. Trans women - and gender non conforming cis women - are now going to be 'frisked' by men.

And what the impact will be on intersex people as well :(

Sąd Najwyższy wydał przełomowy wyrok. Polskie prawo nie może wykluczać, dyskryminować i dzielić polskich rodzin. Osoby transpłciowe, które chcą dokonać korekty płci, nie będą musiały już pozywać własnych rodziców, a sprawy o uzgodnienie płci, będą się toczyły droga nieprocesową!

Biological sex is not as simple as male or female A recent Trump executive order defines sex based on gamete size. But the order oversimplifies genetics, hormones and reproductive biology.

Bucha, Site of Massacre, Feels Sting of Trump Shift on Ukraine Residents of a Ukrainian suburb that was the site of notorious attacks on civilians after Russia invaded are alarmed by President Trump’s warm words for Moscow.

Trump may not remember what happened in Bucha.
But we do.

What You’re Not Being Told About Anti-Trans Regulations Recent U.S. laws and regulations restricting medical care and athletic participation for transgender people actually affect more intersex people. Why is this not being discussed?

My existence as an intersex American was finally acknowledged, then erased four days later Federal government now defines sex as 'male' and 'female.'

Trump's Executive Order defines “female” as someone who produces eggs & “male” as someone who produces sperm. "My intersex body, like the bodies of many intersex people, does not produce either gametes, arguably leaving us in legal limbo." @xoxykz.bsky.social
