"Some intersex traits are noticed at birth. Others don’t show up until puberty or later in life. Intersex people often face shame—or are forced or coerced into changing their bodies, usually at a very young age." - @interact_adv

"We are united by
1. our experiences living with variations in our sex traits,
2. the belief that these differences are a natural part of human diversity,
3. the idea that people deserve their own choices about their own bodies." - @interACT_adv #IntersexAwarenessDay

#IntersexAwarenessDay facts from @interact_adv:
About 1.7% of people are born intersex.
Compared to a ~0.3% chance of having identical twins!
1 in 2,000 babies (0.05% of humans) are born with genital differences that a doctor might suggest changing with unnecessary surgery.

My friends @The_Ace_Couple did a fantastic 4-part series on the religious right objecting to asexual marriages. They are amazing people, and they are super-funny as well. Subscribe to their podcast and follow them. I have an episode linked below!

It's not just same-sex marriages Republicans want to ban. Now they don't like asexual marriages either.

It's time we stop talking about what "asexuality isn't".
Asexuality IS. Asexuality contains multitudes. Asexuality contains contradictions. Asexuality is not having sex. Asexuality is having sex and hating it. Asexuality is having sex and loving it. Asexuality is sex work. 🧵1/7

I need to be transparent for a minute. I've had something on my mind for quite a long time. I need to get this off my chest. So, bear with me. 🧵
I feel ashamed to be a virgin many days.
That sounds silly, but I some days feel embarrassed to be a virgin.
