Intersex Solidarity Day/Intersex Day of Remembrance

Today is Intersex Solidarity Day/Intersex Day Of Remembrance. 

November 8th was chosen to honor the birthday of Herculine Barbin, a 19th-Century intersex person who was forced into the public eye after doctors found her to be intersex and whose short and often unhappy life highlights the need for increased acceptance of intersex people.

The goals of this day include education, showing the need to stop Intersex Genital Mutilation, upholding intersex rights to dignity and equality, equal access to prenatal medical care, and solidarity of intersex people and friends, families, and supporters.

As well as people like Fiore De Henriques, an Italian artist who helped fight Mussolini, to remember and recognize all the people who've been harmed by forced medical interventions and sterilizations.

We hope to show solidarity to both the intersex community and the community's friends, families, and supporters in working to make a world where it is safe for people to be biologically between male and female.

Where a woman has the right to carry an intersex fetus regardless of the attitudes of her doctors.

Where children have the right to grow up without being sterilized.

Where everyone whose reproductive biology differs from stereotypes that everyone is expected to be 100% only male or female get to live their lives in full acceptance, dignity, respect, and equality.

Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR)

In honor of the Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR), the Green Party of the United States National Women’s Caucus is hosting an educational webinar on Friday, November 20, at 8 pm-10 pm ET - 7 pm-8 pm CT - 5 pm-7 pm PT.

Topics will include:  

• Why TDOR is observed
• Discussion of the terms transgender, intersex, non-binary and gender-nonconforming 
• The climate of discrimination, violence, and murder directed against these groups as well as anyone perceived to fall outside of conventional gender stereotypes
• The intersectionality of this violence, such that Trans Women of Color (TWOC) are disproportionately targeted
• How this issue is a Green issue as well as a Feminist and a Women’s issue
• Discussion on what people can do to help address the issues raised by TDOR in general and in the Green Party and in the National Women’s Caucus
