Intersex people have existed since the beginning of time and will exist until the end of time. No law, executive order, judge or advocate of pseudoscience can erase us. Their goal is to conceal any existence outside of an impossibly narrow sex binary. Our existence is resistance.

This is unacceptable. We are suing the State Department for information on the 2024 Human Rights Reports because we refuse to accept the erasure of anyone's rights. Human rights are for all, without exception.

Unfortunately, despite decades of bipartisan reporting, the Trump administration deleted information on LGBTQI+ persons and other minorities in the State Department's 2024 Human Rights Reports and will be further weaponizing the 2025 reports to advance their anti-trans agenda.

This #HumanRightsDay, we are proud to endorse @SenMarkey’s #InternationalHumanRightsDefenseAct. This bill, unequivocally, recognizes that the rights of LGBTQI+ people around the world are human rights and mandates human rights reporting on criminalization and violence. 🧵⬇️

Intersex people deserve legal protection. So far, no state has outright banned nonconsensual intersex surgeries, but multiple have affirmed intersex rights. Youth advocate Tim created a map of state laws—both passed and failed—to educate change-makers. 🔎 https://t.co/bAZhiwvzSn
