Happy Pride, we will not be forgotten! We brought intersex visibility to WORLD PRIDE. Being out & proud as intersex isn't always easy. We can face misunderstanding & stigma—even in LGBTQIA+ spaces. But we also find community. We find resilience. We represent the beauty & diversity of intersex lives.

We know that anti-trans bills keep forced surgeries on intersex kids going. We also know that political, legal, and medical changes are crucial to intersex justice. But is there more to building a powerful movement? Register today to join us on May 13th: tinyurl.com/slimpanel25

1,100+ anti-trans articles. 4 UK papers. 1 year. That’s nearly 1 attack a day, per outlet. This isn’t free speech, it’s targeted hate. It’s deliberate. It’s dangerous. At Equality Amplified, we stand with our trans siblings, loudly, proudly, unapologetically. Always! 🏳️⚧️
Was actually wrong, I'm just two days away form having a full year's worth of stats.
It's going to come in at just under 1,100 articles about trans people in the Guardian, Times, Mail and Telegraph over that time, almost all attacks.
That's an ave of 3 a day every single day from just those papers
