Intersex rights are human rights! Listen to intersex people and what they have to say! Treat them with respect, their experiences are important and valid! And stop surgeries on intersex babies! Thanks.

Your voice is unique and wonderful! So is your laughter! 😘 This is image 24 of my intersex body positivity series. WHAT IS INTERSEX? Intersex people are born with atypical sex characteristics: it relates to a range of variations in sex autonomy. That is, physical variations in chromosomes, gonads, sex hormones or genitals. Many different forms of intersex exist; it is an umbrella term, rather than a single category.  Some intersex people identify within a binary gender system. Some see themselves outside of any binary - biological and identity wise. For more info, go on YouTube an look for “What is Intersex? (Pt1)” by Hans Lindahl.

Our body is our home. We will spend our whole life in it. It is an amazing, mysterious and wonderful thing. And everyone should have the freedom to be their own boss over their body! Or their own best body buddy. What ever you prefer. 😊❤ Your body should belong to you and no one else! No one else should be able to decide what is best for your body! 👏 You deserve bodily autonomy! 👏 Your body belongs to you! 👏 And we have to keep fighting for it! We have little to loose and so much to gain! 💪

Hair loss is a topic that concerns a lot of us. Some lose their hair because of hormone therapy, some because of strong meds they have to take, some because of hormone imbalances in their body and for some it's just in their genes. Most can't really do much against it, which feels scary when you realise it starts happening. But I want you all to know that it's absolutely okay to lose hair. You are still beautiful and worthy of so so much love! <3 This is image 21 of my intersex body positivity series. WHAT IS INTERSEX?

I already said it once but I'm gonna say it again: here and now, in our time and age, babies that are born intersex get put under the knife in order to reshape (and sometimes completely remove) parts of their genitals just because they don't fit into stereotypical definitions of male and female genitals! These babies are not sick. These babies won't develope cancer or any other life threatening desease (even tho some doctors still tell these kind of lies to the baby's parents). These babies are healthy and don't need any kind of operations! And these surgeries are HARMFUL!!! They are an unecassary risk! And will propably scar the intersex person emotionally and psychologically! How would you feel if you'd find out that you didn't have a clit anymore because the doctors thought it looked too big and removed it completely?!?!?! How would you feel if you'd found out that you once had testicals but the doctors removed them 'cause they thought it would be easier to make you look like a girl than a boy down there?!?!? WHAT THE FUCK??? This angers me so SO much!!! Stop surgeries on intersex babies! It's WRONG! This is image 22 of my intersex body positivity series. WHAT IS INTERSEX?

This post is connected to my last one. But here’s a short summary for you: No unnecessary surgeries on intersex babies! 😡 Let intersex babies be intersex! 😤 They don't need to be "fixed"! And their genitals are fine the way they are! We don't need no cisheteronormative genital mainstreaming! All private parts are different and unique - and that's awesome and beautiful!!! 💜💛💜 This is image 23 of my intersex body positivity series. WHAT IS INTERSEX?
