All the events I did for this year’s Intersex Awareness Day (26 October) moved online and many have been prerecorded. I’ve just taken part in a filmed intersex activist panel, which our wonderful allies Voices4London organised for us (voices4london.org.uk). We gathered to raise awareness of the human rights abuses and the need for intersex equality rights. But also, to talk about what intersex joy looks like for us.
