Today is #IntersexSolidarityDay 💛💜💛
We are proud to support the full diversity of LGBT communities, including those who are intersex.
We stand in solidarity with our intersex siblings fighting against discrimination and for intersex rights.
#EqualityWins
We’re also very #PROUD to announce that from 2020, intersex is now officially a protected characteristic in our hospital trust @ChelwestFT ‘s Equality & Diversity policy – the first NHS trust in the UK we know to adopt this
#IntersexAwarenessDay
Or you can give @InterWednesday a follow - they're a peer led intersex support group based at Caledonian Road, London

Historically, these variations were considered "disorders" needing to be “corrected”, subjecting intersex people to unnecessary – and often very damaging – medical, surgical and psychological treatments without their consent

Today is #IntersexAwarenessDay. We’ve teamed up with @lgbtfriend and @InterWednesday and throughout the day we’ll be dedicating our social media channels to intersex awareness - hopefully busting some myths along the way. Follow this thread for updates.
@56deanstreet the NHS definitions are VERY damaging to the Intersex community. Please DO NOT pay attention to what the NHS is saying about Intersex bodies.
