For LGBTQIA+ Youth & Their Families
Intersex is an umbrella term for differences in sex traits or reproductive anatomy that may be present at birth or develop during childhood. Intersex activists work to raise awareness, to challenge shame and stigma, and to end surgical interventions on youth without consent.
LGBTQIA+ youth and their families are invited to join activists and Banti Jaswal to learn more about the intersex community and learn how to advocate for themselves and their intersex friends.
