October 26th is Intersex Awareness Day

October 26^th
All Day

Jade Sylvan offers an Intersex Awareness Day Blessing and reminds us of our UU values, that bodily autonomy is a human right. From the UUA collection of resources.

“As Unitarian Universalists, we decry any medical practice that performs unwanted and unnecessary procedures on intersex children and adults. We believe that the body is sacred, and bodily autonomy is a human right. We will continue to work until everyone has access to this right. May all of our intersex siblings feel supported, empowered, and cherished.”
