Intersex Awareness Day was founded in 1998 and takes place on the 26. of Oktober every year. This day is supposed to raise awareness for the Inter* sex community, and shed light on their struggles, discrimination and everyday issues. It is derived from the latin prefix “inter” which means “in between”.
Intersex is a term to describe every person with biological assets (chromosomal, gonodal, hormonal, anatomical) that have more than only male or female significance. in some cases, intersexual assets might be visible at birth, in other cases theyre not visible until puberty. some hormonal or chromosomal variations might not be visible at all.

Intersexuality exists in many different ways, cause beside the “standard” sets of chromosomes XX and XY, there are still more ways ( for example XXY) for the chromosomal attributes of a person. there is no “right” way to be Intersex. Intersexuality is due to biological attributes, and differentiates from sexual- and gender identity.
A big step towards freedom and self-decided lives for Intersex people was achieved in 2021, with a new law that forbids genital surgery on Intersex children.
