Intersex people have existed since the beginning of time and will exist until the end of time. No law, executive order, judge or advocate of pseudoscience can erase us. Their goal is to conceal any existence outside of an impossibly narrow sex binary. Our existence is resistance.

@Megsplains None. This is discrimination only against women.

All girls and women with Olympic dreams will now be subjected to mandatory genetic testing. Many headlines focused on one point: banning transgender women. But that misses the bigger story: This policy puts every woman’s body under a microscope and creates a system in which officials decide who is “woman enough” to compete. latimes.com/opinion/story/…

Sex testing has a sordid history of use by sporting bodies to target women athletes who, often through variations in their sex characteristics, or intersex traits, have higher than typical natural testosterone. The practice—in its many forms—has been debunked as unethical, unscientific, and unworkable, and has often relied on racist gender stereotypes. Moreover, there is no scientific consensus that higher than typical testosterone in women confers an athletic advantage. @hrw hrw.org/news/2026/04/1…

"Do not use the names of women athletes to target, shame or exclude transgender women. Transgender women are women. Women with intersex variations are women. I welcome these women – and all women – onto my teams." @USATODAY usatoday.com/story/opinion/…

@inspidernz "We can always tell" is often just racism.

@interACT_adv We all knew these were men just by looking at them because humans have an innate ability to accurately determine sex based on face alone. We need sex testing to preserve women's Sports because some men don't like to be told no

I grew an entire baby in my uterus and pushed her out of my vagina. No I haven’t ever had my chromosomes tested, but fairly safe to say whatever they are, I’m female. All DSD’s are Male or Female not a mixture or a third sex. Do grow up

If you haven't taken a genetic test, you don't know what your chromosomes are, either. They might be XX or XY. They might be XO, XXY, or a mix of XX/XY. Science is more complex than many people feel comfortable believing.

Many athletes may only learn they are intersex from genetic testing. “There are places around the world where this kind of outing is incredibly dangerous. I would like to think the U.S. is not one of those places. But right now it doesn't feel like that to a lot of people.”

A new Olympic policy on genetic testing could reshape women’s sports and raise questions for intersex and cisgender athletes alike. time.com/article/2026/0…

@rthonbwooster We are sad for the girls who are now categorically banned from competing in the future due to variations in their sex traits.

@interACT_adv Do you realise that theree a lot more kids who dream of competing in the Olympics than there are Olympic competitors? Are you "really sad" for all the ones who don't make it? Not every gets to the top. That's the point.

Kate, an intersex college athlete & interACT Youth, worries about what the Olympic policy means for the next generation. “It made me really sad for all the intersex kids who are dreaming of the Olympics." She once thought competing at that level would be “the coolest thing.”

We are proud to have partnered with @GLSEN on their 2025 National School Climate Survey! The report is telling: only 22% of LGBTQI+ students who received sex ed even learned about intersex topics. How can we bring inclusion into the classroom? Learn more: glisten.org/nscs2025

The Supreme Court struck down a law that protected youth from conversion therapy – harmful efforts to change a person's sexual orientation or gender. Intersex youth are disproportionately vulnerable to conversion therapy practices. interACT responds: interactadvocates.org/breaking-the-s…

Today, we celebrate the Trans Day of Visibility (#TDOV). While some intersex people are cisgender men or women, others are also trans. Both intersex & trans people challenge the idea of a clear-cut sex & gender binary. Hear from intersex & trans youth: interactadvocates.org/being-trans-an…
