Intersex Day of Remembrance

Today, November 8th, is Herculine Barbin’s birthday. Herculine is a French intersex person that was assigned a female gender at birth. After an affair with a woman Herculine was seized, examined and reclassified as male.
Today, November 8th is Intersex Day of Remembrance/ Intersex Day of Solidarity.

You’ll hear people like jk Rowling and the family research council dismiss intersex existence in their war on trans people, but of course people that are both transgender and intersex exist.
