Rainbodhi is a spiritual friendship group for LGBTQIA+ Buddhists and an advocate for more inclusion and diversity in the broader Buddhist community. We offer meditation, Dhamma discussion and social events in a safe, supportive environment. We welcome everyone regardless of race, gender, s*xuality, or ability. Rainbodhi is a non-sectarian Buddhist group, welcoming people from other faiths or with

no faith. Our name combines two words; rainbow representing our diverse community and bodhi the Buddhist concept of Enlightenment.

Happy Inters*x Awareness Day πŸ’›πŸ’œπŸ’›

Today is Inters*x Awareness Day - a day to honour truth, visibility, and pride. Inters*x people are born with s*x characteristics that don’t fit typical definitions of male or female. These innate variations of s*x characteristics are natural, diverse, and part of the human spectrum. Inters*x people have always existed and today, we celebrate their strength, joy, and truth.

Would you like to learn more about inters*x issues? Visit our friends at InterAction for Health and Human Rights at interaction.org.au.

Would you like to understand about inters*x variations or seek support? Visit the InterLink Resource Hub at ilink.net.au/resource-hub/

Are you a member of the inters*x community and seeking to connect with others? Visit Inters*x Peer Support Australia at support.org.au.

Are you a business, institution or organisation and seeking training for your team about inters*x inclusion? Visit Yellow Tick at yellowtick.org.au.
