If you were born intersex, or have a child born intersex, you can find support here: World Wide Advocacy and Support for INTERSEX People. Here is the United Nations Intersex Fact Sheet, where they share that intersex people are born with “Natural Bodily Variations”. My Thoughts about the Gender Symbols from the Past.Īlthough I feel that there are so many different variations of intersex that one can’t even describe them all with even these gender symbols, I felt it important to share that the male/female binary was not all we had in the past to describe us humans in ancient history.
Here is my youtube video: TEDxJacksonville Born Intersex: we are human! in this presentation, I share my life story, I talk about others born intersex, the world’s first intersex birth certificates, and how us intersex people have existed since the first humans walked the Earth. These Ten Human Rights Organizations and many more say it is time to Stop Intersex Genital Mutilation (IGM). To read more about my thoughts on this go to: Eugenics & Genocide: The Male & Female Binary Myth. A good argument could be made that we are witnessing eugenics and genocide. Most forms of intersex do not require medical intervention of any kind. Here are some of the names for intersex here: Intersex is what it is.
Worse, society now tries to convince those of us born intersex that we were born a disorder or a syndrome and that our bodies need to be corrected by genital surgeries. Needless to say, society has tried to convince us these symbols are about mythology when I feel they were not. Intersex people were also at one time called “hermaphrodites”. These gender symbols prove to me that intersex people were better accepted at one time by society. At one time human cultures recognized that there was more than just typical endosex or dyadic male and typical endosex or dyadic female.
