Today is Intersex Awareness Day! A good day to remind governments it's time @coe.int and PACE recommendations on the rights of #intersex persons are enshrined in law. Full statement by the Assembly's General Rapporteur on #LGBTI rights @kateosbornemp.bsky.social: pace.coe.int/en/news/1048...

Intersex people continue to face discrimination, harassment & violence. Only 1 in 3 feel supported by their families, finds FRA's #LGBTIQsurvey. This Intersex Awareness Day, FRA calls on EU countries to support intersex people by promoting & protecting their #fundamentalrights.

Happy Intersex Awareness Day! Join our Intersex Youth Campaign to celebrate intersex lives and intersex youth across Europe and beyond! campaigns.oiieurope.org/intersex-you... #intersexyouth #IAD2026 #intersex

This Intersex Awareness Day, it’s time to look beyond the struggle to celebrate three decades of building community and changing the debate | Jennie Kermode

Today is Intersex Awareness Day. I am intersex – and did not find out until I was 26! Intersex people are also impacted by the decision in FWS, but this is much less talked about. Intersex people continue to be subjected to non-consensual medical interventions. Intersex rights are human rights.

"Although 7 out of 10 respondents were first diagnosed as having VSC under 18 years (67%), only 47% of respondents reported finding out about their diagnosis under 18 years."

This is unsuprising but crutial and of course it was burried until after they pushed through the supreme court guidance Here is evidence of a group of people who's lives were already harder before the Supreme court ruling but it is now worse and we can evidence it Shadow dropping this is so slimey

I'm seeing a lot of people invoke the figure of the intersex person in current discourse on sex and gender, especially in relation to the UK government's anti-trans segregation regime. But the actual voices of actual people are getting lost. This buried report offers vital evidence to counter that.

This is a really interesting set of results. A couple of things jump out, one of which is the difficulties intersex people experience accessing public facilities (this is timely given the EHRC Code of Practice).

The positive side to there being AI data centres in Leeds is when people eventually realise we have to smash up all the data centres because AI is ruining everyone's lives, it's fairly easy for a massive mob to get to. But it would be better to stop it first. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...

Judge rules that billionaire-backed, JKR-funded employment tribunal brought by ‘gender critical’ transphobe be DISMISSED, and that her MANIFESTED bigotry spouted at a ‘Let Women Speak’ anti-trans rally was “incompatible” with her position as an “inclusion co-ordinator” following complaints! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I'm as spiritual as an old sock, and a practicing atheist, and I have to say I like this Pope. Good job, Pope.

There’s an intersex documentary tonight on channel 4 at 10pm for those in the UK who’d like an introduction to intersex issues.

In a terrible world Heated Rivalries is a ray of absolute sunshine. Hit me up with your takes people.

Please join us for the launch of our new Centre for the Critique of Law and Society

Our initial summary of the Levy review 👇

It’s the day of the work Christmas party. Reposting my ranking of previous years for prosperity.

THE PEGGIE JUDGMENT IS OUT + THE RESULT IS NOT HOW MEDIA IS PRESENTING IT This case doesn’t say employers can’t allow trans women to use women’s changing rooms. 
Quite the opposite: FWS doesn’t make that inherently unlawful. It all depends on context. #EmploymentLaw #EqualityAct #WorkplaceInclusion

📣School of Law academic in the news! Our Professor @drmitchtravis.bsky.social is quoted in this @theguardian.com piece discussing the policy and legality of surgeries conducted on intersex children 👇 tinyurl.com/47uhv7ur @lsjleeds.bsky.social

Today is Intersex Day of Solidarity and Remembrance. It's an opportunity to highlight the continued struggles faced by intersex people globally, from unnecessary medical intervention or stigma. We all deserve to be treated with dignity, and live a life free from discrimination.

Congratulations to our own Professor Mitch Travis on a well-deserved promotion!

I’ve been promoted to Professor of Law and Social Justice at @lawatleeds.bsky.social Huge thanks to everyone who have supported me throughout my career to make this happen. There’s far too many people to thank so if you think you helped you probably did. Much love all!

Many many congratulations to my good friend @drmitchtravis.bsky.social on his promotion to Professor. I had the privilege of working with Mitch for the bones of a decade and this recognition of both his talent & hard work is extremely well deserved. 👏👏👏

Oceansize were a UK band that split up in 2011. Probably my favourite ever. Today they showcased some previously unreleased tracks and it is an absolute tonic for my soul.

The Cass review into children's gender services in the UK continues to be terrible. A new report from Australia led by the fantastic Dr. Julia Moore - and featuring me - looks into the issues in detail. My new piece. gidmk.substack.com/p/the-cass-r...

Excellent critiques of fws by legal people, feeling genuinely hearted to see so many different people willing to put their name to critiques of the ruling journals.kent.ac.uk/index.php/fe...
