interACT was honored to join the Building Trans Power conference by Transgender Law Center, offering our own workshop — "Our Futures are Intertwined: Inters*x and Trans Bodily Autonomy in Advocacy."

Our room of advocates discussed inters*x and trans liberation — in law and policy, media and narratives, and in our day-to-day work. We unpacked the tricky stuff. What can we gain by centering bodily autonomy? What do we risk by centering doctors?

interACT continues its commitment to working alongside transgender people—together, we can create a world where everyone has access to the bodily autonomy we all deserve.

Howard's child Zebb was born inters*x. Doctors pushed for cosmetic surgery, voicing concern Zebb would one day be unhappy with his ge****ls.

“'It’s just the wildest thing to say,' Howard says. 'Because he’s a literal newborn.' And already, someone was predicting his future dissatisfaction with his body and his identity."

Inters*x parents and interACT staff & board spoke to Uncloseted Media about ongoing inters*x ge***al mutilation.

In the U.S., thousands of infants with inters*x traits undergo medically unnecessary ge***al surgeries each year, often before they can consent.

If Bonnie had a time machine, she'd go back to tell every parent of an inters*x kid: it's going to be okay. It's good to talk about this. Your kid can thrive.

May 10th is Klinefelter Awareness Day - did you know there are people born with XXY chromosomes, instead of XY?

Far from being rare, Klinefelter Syndrome is as common as 1 in 500 babies who are assigned male at birth.

💜 Why does Klinefelter Syndrome happen?

Having XXY chromosomes is a random genetic difference. While it may change someone’s body, people can live happy and fulfilling lives with Klinefelter Syndrome.

💛 What does Klinefelter Syndrome look like?

People with Klinefelter Syndrome may have lower testosterone than typical, and resulting hormonal differences like less body/facial hair. They are often tall!

Some people have speech or motor delays, learning disabilities, or health problems.

Many people with Klinefelter Syndrome are infertile or less fertile.

💜 What kind of healthcare do people need?

People with Klinefelter Syndrome often have low testosterone. They may choose hormone therapy to increase testosterone - or not! Fertility treatment and speech therapy may be helpful.

💛 Are all people with Klinefelter’s men?

Klinefelter Syndrome does not define a person’s gender. Many people live their lives as men, and some identify as and live as women, or nonbinary.

💜 What kinds of Klinefelter Syndrome are there?

Klinefelter Syndrome can be mosaic. This means people may have some cells that are the more typical XY, and some cells that are XXY.

They may have less noticeable signs of Klinefelter Syndrome, with higher testosterone and/or fertility than others whose cells are entirely XXY.

It is also possible to have a variation with ###Y or ###XY chromosomes!

Like all inters*x people, those with Klinefelter Syndrome deserve dignity, respect, and informed, consensual healthcare.

Part 3: My Life with Kallmann Syndrome. Did you know some people have no ability to smell? Ryanna does not have olfactory bulbs - and it even makes food taste different! Kallmann Syndrome may make life look unusual, but like Ryanna says - you'll be thankful for your forever baby face. 💜💛

Part 2: My Life with Kallmann Syndrome. Even before Ryanna's inters*x diagnosis, she never saw herself as male or female - just Ryanna. Kallmann Syndrome means she never went through puberty. Now with HRT access (estrogen), some things feel different, but she is still just Ryanna.
