Transand intersex people are united in the right to make decisions about our own bodies. Every attack on trans people’s healthcare also promotes harm towards intersex people. Our liberation is tied together. 🏳️⚧️💜💛 #WhyWeShowUp #IntersexAwarenessWeek #TransIntersexSolidarity

Advocating for yourself at the doctor’s is tough, especially as an intersex person. We’re proud to launch the Patient Self-Advocacy Toolkit — created by and for intersex people to support safer, more affirming healthcare. 💜 bit.ly/intersex-self-advocacy #IntersexAwarenessDay

October 26th is #IntersexAwarenessDay 💜💛 Did you know our movement started with a newsletter connecting intersex people for the first time in the 90s, a protest outside a Boston medical conference & later an internationally recognized day? @19thnews.org

Intersex Awareness Day highlights a fight for rights that’s far from over
From a Boston protest to global recognition, the history of Intersex Awareness Day shines a light on decades of work to preserve bodily autonomy.

Today is #IntersexAwarenessDay 💛💜

Intersex is an umbrella term for individuals born with physical sex characteristics that don’t fit typical definitions of male or female bodies. Being intersex occurs in about 1.7% of the population.

#IntersexAwarenessDay is a protest against the abuse, discrimination, and stigma that intersex people can face.

If you've experienced abuse or violence because of your intersex identity, we're here for you. Although each person’s experience will be different, please know that you’re not alone. 💜💛

Text reads: Funds Available for trans, intersex, and nonbinary people in Wales. Up to £60. Funds distributed on the 1st and 15th of every month. A string of little triangle flags in the colours of the nonbinary flag are in the top left corner. At the bottom is a graphic of two people high fiving. Text reads: Funds available. Verifying as a service user. We only have two criteria for accessing our funds. First, you need to self-describe as a trans, intersex, or nonbinary (TIN) person. Second, you need to live in Wales. So, we need two things: the first half of your postcode, and an active social media account. This is not to ‘check’ or ‘prove’ you’re TIN, just to check that you’re a real person, as we get a lot of scam requests. If you don’t have social media, we also accept: passports, driving licenses, library / student cards, and more. If your names don’t match, we may need a deedpoll. At the bottom left is a graphic of two people high fiving. Text reads: Funds available. Verifying as a service user. If you send us documents as proof of ID or address, please know that we do not store or keep this information. We aim to reverify service users once a year, through the same process. We have a database of service users and when they were last verified. Unfortunately, we no longer have access to previous email threads, where you may have sent us that information, due to a change in our software provider. We may need to reverify some people a little earlier than usual & apologise for the inconvenience. At the bottom left is a graphic of two people high fiving. Text reads: Funds available. How we triage. Our services are very often oversubscribed. While we try and give everyone as much as possible, we do need to triage your requests. These are some of the things we do when making our decisions: 1. We prioritise new service users and service users that haven’t had funds from us in a while. 2. We prioritise people who don’t have access to public funds (e.g. international students; asylum seekers). 3. We triage based on the content of the request and its urgency. At the bottom left is a graphic of two people high fiving.

The newly released Official Statistics for Hate Crime in 2024-2025 do not accurately reflect the true prevalence of anti-LGBT+ hate in England and Wales. This misrepresentation matters.

The queer tour of St Fagans was my personal highlight of the MA Conference so far! Lovely to see a PERMANENT queer display in such a prominent spot in the gallery 🩷 #Museums2025
Museum gallery called "Cymru... / Wales is..." with a display of LGBTQ+-themed objects around the theme "Wales is... proud" Ladies of Llangollen teapot The most famous lesbian couple in Welsh history. They often feature on Welsh costume souvenirs. Rainbow Football v Homophobia football, signed by the Cymru Women's team, 2023 Framed photographs (most of them black-and-white) depicting Welsh everyday life. Two of them include a gay couple.

I've now read the other queer welsh history book (so far I've only found two), and it was an interesting and enjoyable read.
4 star review for Forbidden Lives: LGBT Histories from Wales. An excellent read, and the book was well constructed with its path from the past to the near present. The connections between Queer Welsh history and wider UK/World history are very interesting, and overall I enjoyed reading this book Occassionally, as with most history books, get a little bogged down in stating facts and figures, but it's a very easy read overall. My only real complaint is that the book ends on a rather sudden flat note. You should detinitely read this book.
