Day 25 - Non-binary gender (also called NB) describes any gender identity which does not fit the male and female binary spectrum. Those with non-binary genders can feel that they: •Have an androgynous (both masculine and feminine) gender identity, such as androgyne. •Have an identity between male and female, such as intergender. •Have a neutral or unrecognized gender identity, such as agender, neutrois, or most xenogenders. •Have multiple gender identities, such as bigender or pangender. •Have a gender identity which varies over time, known as genderfluid. •Have a weak or partial connection to a gender identity, known as demigender. •Are intersex and identify as intersex, known as amalgagender •Have a Galactian Alignment identity, created to describe genders without using binary terms. •Have a culturally specific gender identity which exists only within their or their ancestor's culture. •Identify as a thirdgender that doesn't exactly exist only within a specific culture such as Proxvir, Juxera, or Maverique. Non-binary people may also identify as transgender and/or transsexual. The label genderqueer has a lot of overlap with non-binary. Non-binary is often seen as the preferred term, as "queer" may be used as a transphobic insult. Non-binary people can use any pronoun they desire to use. The majority of Non-binary people commonly use They/Them pronouns, but since pronouns do not always correspond to gender, they can use any pronouns. For example, a nonbinary person who is femenine may use she/her pronouns due to being comfortable with such. Some may use all/any pronouns, and not have a preference. Some may prefer they pronouns, but are okay with any. Some reclaim it/its pronouns while some even use Neopronouns, such as xe, zey, per, jie, and or Ne/nim/nis pronouns. #juneispridemonth #lgbtpridemonth #pridemonth #loveislove #lgbt #lgbtq #rainbow #nonbinary #nonbinaryday #female #male #many #love #acceptance #diversity #lovewhoyouwant #youareamazing #youarebeautiful #hernandopride #hernandoflorida https://www.instagram.com/p/CB7Au4_lQ5o/?igshid=dr1rry3kbw4l

Intersex people are individuals born with any of several variations in sex characteristics including chromosomes, gonads, sex hormones or genitals that, according to the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, "do not fit the typical definitions for male or female bodies". This range of atypical variation may be physically obvious from birth - babies may have ambiguous reproductive organs, or at the other extreme range it is not obvious and may remain unknown to people all their lives. Intersex people face stigmatization and discrimination from birth, or from discovery of an intersex trait, such as from puberty. This may include infanticide, abandonment and the stigmatization of families. Globally, some intersex infants and children, such as those with ambiguous outer genitalia, are surgically or hormonally altered to create more socially acceptable sex characteristics. However, this is considered controversial, with no firm evidence of favorable outcomes. Such treatments may involve sterilization. Adults, including elite female athletes, have also been subjects of such treatment. Increasingly, these issues are considered human rights abuses, with statements from international and national human rights and ethics institutions. Intersex organizations have also issued statements about human rights violations, including the 2013 Malta declaration of the third International Intersex Forum. Some intersex persons may be assigned and raised as a girl or boy but then identify with another gender later in life, while most continue to identify with their assigned sex. In 2011, Christiane Völling became the first intersex person known to have successfully sued for damages in a case brought for non-consensual surgical intervention. In April 2015, Malta became the first country to outlaw non-consensual medical interventions to modify sex anatomy, including that of intersex people. #juneispridemonth #lgbtpridemonth #pridemonth #loveislove #lgbt #lgbtq #rainbow #intersex #intersexday #female #male #many #love #acceptance #diversity #lovewhoyouwant #youareamazing #youarebeautiful #hernandopride #hernandoflorida https://www.instagram.com/p/CBXBdtZlOun/?igshid=1ra2zncgi27p8

Pride 2019 will mark the 50th anniversary of the historical shift in the LGBT rights movement. On this day 50 years ago, patrons and neighbors of a New York gay bar took a stand against a government who refused to see and treat them as valid members of society. What started as a targeted raid against the illegal sale of alcohol to gay people that caused multiple people to be injured and arrested, ended up being an all out riot. Trans men and women, along side the gay men that frequented the bar that night decided that enough was enough and that it was time to stand up for themselves against the biased, abusive, oppressive, and bigoted arm of the law. For three days, members of the LGBT community alongside allies marched, fought, rioted and picketed in the streets demanding fair and equal treatment and an end to the discrimination. The actions of these brave men and women are now referred to as the first Gay Pride event.

Prior to these concerted efforts to make change for people who couldn’t help who they loved and how they felt, members of the LGBT community were effectively deemed to be of an illegal existence. This left them open to harassment from law enforcement, susceptible to being institutionalized as homosexuality was seen as a form of psychosis, abuse from anyone who found out about their sexuality, public humiliation, and extortion. As bad as all of these things were for lesbian and gay people they were doubly horrific for members of the trans community.

Among the many activist that participated in that first stand off with law enforcement and the government were two well known drag queens Marsha “Pay It No Mind” Johnson and Sylvia Rivera. While standing in solidarity with the lesbian and gay members of the LGBT fight they saw an opportunity to help an even more oppressed group of people that seemingly was going unnoticed. Together, these two women started the first trans activism organization S.T.A.R, Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries. The purpose of the organization was to help the homeless transsexual, gay, and gender non-conforming community in New York by helping to provide temporary housing, food, and some forms of education to the abandoned and discarded youth and sex workers of the city. While the first S.T.A.R. house did not last for long as Marsha and Sylvia both regularly struggled with homelessness, the two continued the fight in service of those less fortunate than themselves. These women were pioneers for the trans and gay community as well as the advancement of the LGBT movement.

Much progress has been made since that initial uprising in 1969 towards the acceptance and equal treatment of members of the LGBT community. While we have achieved great things like inclusion in the military, marriage equality, and in some states protection from workplace discrimination we still have a long way to go in this fight. More specifically as it pertains to our trans family. Much like the conditions of 1969 our trans sister and brothers are still being murdered, harassed, openly discriminated against, assaulted, bullied, and disregarded. This can not continue to stand!

We will continue the fight that Marsha and Sylvia helped start and we won’t stop until there is justice and peace for all members of the LGBT community.
