26 October is intersex awareness day, and events are taking place in multiple capital cities across Australia, and in cities elsewhere, all around the world. These hopefully provide a chance for individuals to find out more about intersex people, our lives, and the human rights issues we face.
The last year has been both exciting and hugely challenging, and the events of the year have highlighted to us just how far we have come, and the journey yet to travel.
On the plus side, more people around Australia have heard of intersex people, including through our participation in the Mardi Gras parade thanks to the organising work of Bonnie Hart. Triple J Hack published a great radio and web interview while we prepared for this event, and it followed a first ever retreat in Darlington, Sydney, for advocates and peer support workers from intersex-led organisations and others, from around Australia and Aotearoa/New Zealand.
