#IntersexDayofRemembrance: The right to choose can save lives. End intersex surgeries.
(Thai below)
š³ļøāššš The right to choose can save lives. End intersex surgeries.
āļø Today, November 8, is Intersex Day of Remembrance, also known as Intersex Day of Solidarity. It is a day that encourages us to stand with intersex people and join forces to push back against the harmful practices that have been hurting them for decades!
š But why November 8? Because itās the birthday of Herculine Barbin, an intersex person from early 19th century whose life became tragic after society refused to accept who she was. Her stories became well-known after the French philosopher Michel Foucault published her memoirs.
š According to āāLeslie Jaye, an Intersex Advocate from the UK, Herculine was raised as a woman, but in her adulthood while her career as a teacher was flourishing, she realized that she was different. Later, a medical examination and a legally binding designation declared that she was a man and must live as such for the rest of her life. The fact that she had previously been attracted to women also contributed to the animosity toward her.
š„ Since society turned against her intersex identity and did not tolerate who she was, Herculine was pressured to leave her job, move town, and even changed name after being discovered as intersex. At the age of 30, she took her own life, overwhelmed with the feeling of being ācondemnedā and āpunishedā. If there is anything to take away from her tragic life, it is perhaps how detrimental it can be to force someone to express themselves in a certain way. Strict boundaries of genders serve no one, least of all intersex people.
#WeAreManushyan ā¾ļø Equal Human Beings
š£ Prejudice against intersex people is still widespread today in healthcare and the public sphere, with gender-normalizing surgeries and hormone therapies being common practice. Manushya Foundation calls upon professionals, lawmakers, and those involved to listen to intersex individuals and respect their autonomy. We urge that everyone stand in solidarity with the intersex community and fight the deeply embedded norms so their freedom can be restored!
