On the occasion of Intersex Awareness Day, the United States stands in solidarity with intersex persons around the world.
We recognize that intersex persons face violence, discrimination, stigma, harassment, and persecution on account of their sex characteristics, which do not fit binary notions of typical male or female bodies.
Intersex persons routinely face forced medical surgeries that are conducted at a young age without free or informed consent. These interventions jeopardize their physical integrity and ability to live free.
The United States is a proud and founding member of the Equal Rights Coalition, a recently established Coalition of 31 governments that aims to “strengthen cooperation to advance the human rights of, and support inclusive development for all persons regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, and sex characteristics.” We hope this Coalition will work to share best practices and to jointly address challenges in support of the human rights of intersex persons.
Through the Global Equality Fund, the United States, together with the Fund’s 25 government, foundation, and business partners, are supporting new efforts of the intersex community to mobilize and organize, with the goals of increasing awareness of and support for intersex persons and their human rights. The Fund was launched in 2011 to support civil society in their efforts to advance human rights and uphold dignity for all.
On Intersex Awareness Day, we are reminded that all people everywhere are created equal and should be afforded equal dignity and respect, regardless of sex characteristics. We look forward to continued cooperation with civil society, like-minded governments, and others to advance the human rights of intersex persons.
How many dollars and man hours were wasted on this?
“Intersex” that seems like a new word. Does it mean the same as transgender?
boy are you out of touch /s

Disgusting.
Go TRUMP.
The number of truly intersex persons in this country are a tiny percentage...
Why we promote this nonsense for maybe .01 % of the population is beyond me...
Good question. It seems like every day these nut cases come up with a new category to describe themselves.
You know, Kirby is retired Navy...WTF happened to him, or was he a homo all along, wearing a blue suit?
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho! God Bless Texas!
The world,is in flames everywhere you look, and the Obama regime still has this lack of seriousness with less than 100 days left. What idiots would even think this is a critical issue to our nation?
If there was ever a reason to drain the swamp, this is it.
As if we’re not aware of this crap every single day of every single year. It’s in our faces. We’re aware already!
Me, too.
‘forced medical surgeries that are conducted at a young age without free or informed consent.’
So, then they would be against abortions?
It’s been around for a while now. It really refers to people born with both sexual organs. I think it also applies to people with CAIS - Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome.
Some people suspect Jamie Lee Curtis has CAIS. This lady who appeared on Oprah is actually genetically male: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJxZe4KAdqU
It’s a bit more than that, maybe 0.2 - 0.4%, but nonetheless a misdirection of effort and precious resources.
Many of these people need help, because mental disabilities are common among those with intersex conditions.
Another word we have to worry about now? intersex? Where the hell did that come from?
The goal of all this crap is to destroy the value system that this country used to have regarding sexual morality. When they finish destroying it completely, they will have destroyed Christianity and Judaism, which is their goal.
I tried being intersexual for a week but I didn’t like it at all. But the surgery to get back to where I was was a mother ***** I wouldn’t recommend it
My guess is intersexed people just want to be left alone, not dragged into some political circus.
Good morning.
Wtf is “intersex?”
