A new piece from @xoxykz.bsky.social on the US government's intersex erasure. Despite Trump's insistence that only 2 sexes exist, "Intersex Americans like me can’t be erased by medicine or the government. We aren’t going anywhere, and we deserve better medical care." www.statnews.com/2025/03/20/i...

Trump administration policies will create worse health care for intersex people like me

“It seems the Trump administration is arguing that people like me are neither male nor female but simply ‘disordered,’” writes Kimberly Zieselman.

This is exactly what we want to see from the United Nations, on the heels of the landmark intersex resolution by HRC55 in Geneva: strong support for intersex human rights around the globe. We are so proud to bring powerful activists and advocates to these halls of power.

Intersex people “have been documented for millennia. It’s nothing new. It’s not as if the president could say, ‘oh, this is some new trend, some fad,’ “ Bratcher Goodwin said. “What the president’s executive order and also this guidance suggests is that they’re invisible."

Several intersex young people have now had passport renewals rejected due to their identity documentation not aligning with previous passport gender markers—the enforcement of this Executive Order is harmful to everyone!

Trump's Executive Order defines “female” as someone who produces eggs & “male” as someone who produces sperm. "My intersex body, like the bodies of many intersex people, does not produce either gametes, arguably leaving us in legal limbo." @xoxykz.bsky.social www.washingtonblade.com/2025/02/04/m...

Donald Trump has just released a national under 18 trans care ban executive order. I am working through specifically how it tries to do this, and will live tweet here section by section as I read through it. It is not yet on the website, but has been released via press release.
