Intersex Awareness Day is an opportunity to uplift intersex voices and honor the courageous protestors who first spoke out in 1996 against medical abuse faced by the community. Intersex individuals—1 in every 50 people—often face unnecessary, non-consensual surgeries due to outdated medical practices. The fight for their rights is linked with the larger LGBTQ+ movement for equality, and it is crucial for us to recognize that intersex people have the right to self-determination, bodily autonomy, and respect. Today, take the time to learn about intersex experiences, terminology, and the challenges faced by the community: https://lnkd.in/gE_Bn44 IntersexAwarenessDay #LGBTQ

Today, Lambda Legal released a comprehensive report detailing the far-reaching consequences of the Trump administration's anti-LGBTQ+ judicial appointees on LGBTQ+ civil rights and civil rights more broadly. https://lnkd.in/gWgcFZeU “We warned the Senate about the extremist views of Trump’s judicial nominees and formally opposed confirming 34 nominees, due to their records of anti-LGBTQ+ bias,” said Ethan Rice, Lambda Legal senior attorney for the Fair Courts Project. “But many of these nominees were confirmed, and their decisions have since rolled back decades of progress.” We need judges who will interpret the law impartially, without bias or prejudice or an eye toward political results. And time is running out for our senators to confirm fair-minded judges who are committed to equal justice for all. #CourtsMatter #FillEverySeat #ConfirmJudgesNow #Justice #Equality
