Today is World Wide Day of Genital Autonomy!

On this WWDOGA, let's review this resource guide from GALDEF:

Do Genital Mutilation Laws Protect Children Equally?
Six important legal questions for courts to consider

These are six key questions which are raised by the 2025 Equal Protection lawsuit Hadachek v. Oregon.

I'm excited to announce that I'll be attending the annual GLMA conference on LGBTQ health in Minneapolis. I'll be sharing work I've done with the Genital Autonomy Collective about the lived experiences of trans, intersex, and gender-diverse people.

Our project is titled "A Thematic Analysis of Transgender, Intersex, and Gender-Diverse Experiences of (Violated) Genital Autonomy".

In the early 1600s, if a witch-hunter, of which there were some, discovered a woman or girl with an unusually large clitoris, this “devil’s teat” (as it was called) was sufficient to condemn her to death.

Its not just modern witch finders who have ignorant prejudices about sex and gender differences. Its just those who want things to be fixed in contradiction of natural reality.

By labeling gender identity as an 'ideology,' Trump is reducing sex and gender to a Nature/God given binary to be used for political purposes. Real science shows us that sex and gender are complex and diverse systems that leave room for both #intersex and #transgender people.
