Resistance comes in all shapes and sizes.

If you're an intersex person or friend of the movement with a piece of collective history to share, we'd love to hear from you.

Contributions might be written summaries of memories or events, quotes, images of t-shirts, signs, buttons, or other items that you own or created, photos of gatherings or political events that you own or took, or other artworks like film projects, multi-contributor zines, or recordings of performance events. If you're someone who's been involved in intersex work for a long time, we may invite an interview to collect multiple memories and discuss how you'd like them displayed. Broadly, a contribution is a good fit for this website if it:

  1. Happened between 1996 and 2026
  2. Happened in the United States
  3. Challenged dominant ideas of "sex," including opposing medical violence, e.g. genital surgery without consent
  4. Brought together multiple intersex people, and/or, opened doors for future ideas and actions
  5. Could fall under one or more umbrellas of: Arts, Media, Law, Policy, Protest, Gathering, Scholarship

We're especially interested in hearing from our Black, Indigenous, disabled, queer and/or trans peers, plus anyone with experiences working for intersex justice outside of medical, legal, and non-profit systems.

To submit to this site, email us with a few sentences about which of these you've got:

  1. Written memory of an event, campaign, or other work
  2. Images of movement t-shirts, buttons, signs, or other artifacts
  3. Photographs of movement events
  4. Documents or correspondence
  5. Artwork created for the movement
  6. Request to set up an interview for oral history (which we'd love to do if you have many items)
  7. Additions, corrections, or omissions for something already on the site

After receiving your first email, we'll write you back for more information.

Writing and image submissions for the website are volunteered. If you are invited to an oral interview about your materials, we offer a stipend to compensate speakers for their time. Email human-written text only, please. If a submission appears to be output created by Generative AI tools, we won't consider it.

We can't promise that every submission will make it onto the website, nor a date when it would be added, though we're grateful to all who write in.
