“Being Intersex in the EU” – FRA report

New FRA report Being Intersex in the EU sheds light on lived realities of intersex people in the EU Download Press Release as PDF On September 17th 2025, the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) published their report Being Intersex in the EU, featuring an in-depth look at the data from 1920 intersex respondents to FRA’s LGBTIQ III Survey conducted in 2023 in 30 countries. Ten years after the FRA's landmark first report on the fundamental rights of intersex people, this new […]

# Genital Autonomy Collective Summer GoFundMe Update: Portland Pride & InterConnect 2025

Sorry for the delay in this update, I’ve been taking a break after months of summer events.

Y’all may have seen that our board member, Perry, posted about Google trends of related search terms spiking along with our events. It’s been extremely motivating seeing objective measures of interest in the topic of genital autonomy. Our boots on the ground public outreach is clearly reaching people, and I’m extremely proud of everyone helping to make that happen! Y’alls time volunteering and generous donations have been extremely helpful.

## Portland Pride GALDEF Booth
Between **GALDEF**; The **Genital Autonomy Legal Defense & Education Fund**, **Intact Global**, and **Genital Autonomy Collective**, we had 9 volunteers helping out! It was even a bit cramped at times between the morning and evening shifts behind just one table. I had a great time meeting folks from Intact Global, and GALDEF in person again! There were many many good dogs, and I definitely did not bribe any with treats. We gave away all of the literature we printed out on Hadachek v. Oregon. The most popular was our zine: *Hadachek v. Oregon: Information about the lawsuit for LGBTQ+ People* written by T.T. Perry. This is available on our public drive folder for anyone that would like to print it. We had a small flier on foreskin restoration devices which was very popular and shows the need for accessible literature on foreskin restoration, which we’re currently working on.

I also talked to many other orgs running tables to possibly collaborate. Including:
* A local apparel company to make higher quality GAC logo shirts for future events
* Someone at OPB, Oregon Public Broadcasting, excited to bring Hadachek v. Oregon to their higher-ups
* A queer focused non-denominational church supportive of genital autonomy as an in-person location for support groups
* And, many others without concrete plans

### Hadachek v. Oregon Updates
We helped Intact Global easily collect **over 200 emails**. Ask anyone who’s collected emails before, and they’ll tell you it feels like pulling teeth. However, Oregonians show up to fight for human rights, and wanted to know how and when to support **Hadachek v. Oregon**. We ask that people come to the **Pioneer Square Courthouse** in Portland to show support on the day of the hearing.

Yes, I am jealous that #MVG has an #IGSPGM, because it's basically a #NeoGeoMVS successor...

Genital Autonomy Collective stickers from Sticker Ninja turned out great! They gave quite a few complimentary stickers that show they're very queer too! Cut cisnormativity, NOT foreskin!

We have them in time for Portland Pride as well as our next conferences and bike rides. Designing more stickers for future events too.

If you'd like one come say hi to us at Portland Pride on the waterfront July 19th & 20th!

Stickers are a great way to introduce the topic of genital autonomy, people love stickers!

Bike Ride for Intersectional Genital Autonomy/w Genital Autonomy Collective for July went great! I met some lovely activists from San Francisco including their poster child for marriage equality there!

Played Yahtzee beforehand, it doesn't just need to be a bike ride, but to have fun and connect with community. I talked to a young man who was interested in foreskin restoration, I strongly suspect that he will look into it further.

We're going to be doing another one on the first Monday of August at 11 am again!

"Bike Summer 2025 Ride for Intersectional Genital Autonomy
Raise Awareness for Hadachek v. Oregon Protect **ALL** children from child genital cutting End Circumcision of boys & intersex 'normalization' surgeries"

Genital Autonomy Collective just tabled with our new banner from Elmer's Flag and Banner, Kites Too! which turned out great! Rad Pride was Rad! Almost everyone who spoke to us there thanked us for bringing genital autonomy to pride!

We handed out basically all of the literature we printed, and queer Oregonians are excited about Hadachek v. Oregon fighting to protect all children from forced genital cutting! Our Hadachek v. Oregon and the queer community zine was the most popular.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our table, and everyone who's supported us and volunteered! Also thank you to Elmer's Flag and Banner, Kites Too! for getting our banner made so quickly despite some technical issues.

I had a lot of fun talking as a guest on the Intact Again Podcast again! This time is a more casual cocktail hour, but we also talked about a lot of the events Genital Autonomy Collective is doing this summer! It should be out before the end of this month, be sure to follow them to catch when it goes live!

Did our first tabling event yesterday with the genital autonomy collective! People there were very receptive to genital autonomy even if they've never talked about it before. We even had someone come up and tell us they're a foreskin restorer!

I gave a talk, my ex was in the audience so was a little activated but still managed. I'll upload the talk on YouTube later tonight
Thank you to everyone that has volunteered time, and supported us so far

Won't have our table front banner printed in time for our first event, but will have it by the end of the month. So I printed our banner our a letter page as a stand in. Little silly, but it's still colourful 😋

# Crowdfunding Genital Autonomy Collective tabling to bring Intersectional Genital Autonomy to Pride

We're doing public outreach **tabling at events this Pride season** for the first time solo as an organization!

We're entirely community funded and **do not want to be beholden to systemic grants**, so **we need your help!**
Any amount even a few dollars makes a big difference. 💜💛

https://www.gofundme.com/f/end-circumcision-support-genital-autonomy-for-all-at-pride

Your donation will help us create outreach materials like zines/buttons/stickers/etc, cover hosting costs of our free support groups, allow us to continue working on research, and advocating for intersectional genital autonomy for all.

This year we're raising awareness about a timely topic: **Hadachek v. Oregon**, a lawsuit challenging the female genital cutting ban to expand it to **protect all children** including **protecting intersex children, and boys from circumcision**.

We will share how it will benefit trans, intersex, gender diverse peoples and other marginalized groups specifically. TIGD people are uniquely receptive to supporting intersectional genital autonomy when given the chance.

Circumcision harms more than just boys, and Oregon is ready to stand for bodily autonomy for all people!

The first Bike Summer Ride for Intersectional Genital Autonomy w/Genital Autonomy Collective this year went great! Met some lovely folks who want to help out with the cause and it was a comfortable ride! I'd like to have some apparel for the future ones to really make them a visual resistance effort! Like a bike flag from a local store that I'm in talks of getting made.

I also hope to get an event calendar up on the GAC website for these events to be compiled.

Will be hosting two more group rides this year, event details at shift2bike!

Grabbed a printer secondhand to print some intersectional genital autonomy materials a bit easier! Was impossible to find an inkjet printer for that heat transfer paper.

A brother printer with a bright screen on the top left, and a GALDEF card saying Different Bodies. Same Rights in the printed tray.

Die 1.Mai-Demo in #Essen war eine bunte Mischung aus Parteien wie #MLPD, #Grüne, #SPD, #DKP, Friedensinitiativen wie #IPPNW und #vvnbda, Gewerkschaften wie #verdi, #gdp und #igm, und einigen mehr.
Teilweise sind sich diese Gruppierungen untereinander spinnefeind, und ich kann mich auch mit vielem nicht identifizieren, was da gerufen wird.
Trotzdem laufe ich mit, denn es gibt ein paar Dinge, die uns alle einen:
- für Vielfalt und #Demokratie
- gegen #Rassismus
- für #Menschenrechte
- gegen #Faschismus
- für #Frieden
