Making people visible. Dr Richard Scriven on Disability rights and environmental law. #Intersectionality @ UCC Law and the Environment

"We know all forms of oppression [racism, classism, misogyny, transphobia, eugenics, and beyond] are inextricably linked, making it impossible to tell where one form ends and another begins."

Thank you to GALDEF, the Genital Autonomy Legal Defense and Education Fund for splitting up the Intact Global 2025 Press Conference video into each individual speaker's parts.

The press conference announces Hadachek v Oregon which aims to expand child genital cutting protections to all children in Oregon including boys from circumcision and intersex children from 'normalization' surgeries.

Here is T.T Perry's, and my speech on Intersectionality in the genital autonomy movement and the Genital Autonomy Collective's future role in genital autonomy advocacy in Oregon.

Exploring the impacts of the EU Roma Strategy framework on Romani women, Schönthaler highlights the lack of concrete strategies or as she calls it “windows of opportunity”. She calls for active and accessible inclusion and intersectionality.

Huge thanks to Dinux for donating a canopy to The Genital Autonomy Collective! 💛💜 This increases accessibility tabling at events like Pride to raise awareness for Hadachek v. Oregon, a case fighting to expand the genital cutting ban to all children, including circumcision of those assigned male at birth and intersex kids.

This case has deep implications for trans, intersex, and gender-diverse folks. Our shared fight is for *intersectional* bodily autonomy, and Oregonians have a unique chance to lead the way.

GAC offers uniquely intersectional advocacy opportunities and support groups for those impacted:

I’ll also be using the canopy for local mutual aid when not tabling. Thank you again for supporting this work!

The leftovers from the Intact Global Press Conference were donated to a local free store. Glad I was able to help prevent them from going to waste, and that a hot coffee or tea might warm someone's day.

I plan to continue to use the resources The Genital Autonomy Collective might have such as a table and chairs for tabling to help in mutual aid efforts rather than having them sit in the garage when we're not tabling.

At a local café and the staff were talking in support about Hadachek v. Oregon and Intact Global's challenge to expand protection from child genital cutting to all children including preventing circumcision of boys and intersex surgeries.

People are talking in support of genital autonomy this is not a fringe issue, less than 1 in 10 children are genitally cut in Oregon, and Oregonians are happy to fight for the rights of all children!

I shared more info with them such as our search for a plaintiff who has experienced intersex related genital cutting in Oregon.

Exerpt from my speech:
"I’ve been speaking up against child genital cutting for almost a decade with limited success until I moved here. Portland, Oregon really became my home because we also talk to neighbors here, and we know them. We know that they’re exceptionally diverse, and I believe we’re proud to fight for human rights because we know that. [Pause]
Many people assume that I was not affected by childhood genital cutting, but childhood genital cutting, including circumcision, affects more than just boys and men."

Here's an addition that I didn't have time to add to my speech at the Intact Global 2025 Hadachek v. Oregon Press conference that I wish I had included. I hope that we will have a platform in the future to continue speaking on intersectional genital autonomy for all children.

Alliana,
Founder of the Genital Autonomy Collective

[Addition after the conference:]
I’d also like to remind people that while we rarely cut girls in the United States today, there are still women subjected to coerced female genital cutting such as culturally inspired labia reductions, and the infamous husband stitch. As well as the many elders still alive who experienced a very different history of our country. I’d like to extend support within the Genital Autonomy Collective to women who have nowhere to go for support because it’s thought of as a “won battle”. [Pause] [End Addition]

I am a woman, yet I was subjected to penile circumcision.

Thanks to everyone who showed up at the Pioneer Courthouse Square to speak and support Intact Global announcing the Hadachek v. Oregon challenge that fights to expand genital autonomy rights to all children including boys, men, and intersex children.

Special thanks to the person who dedicated their 1 year AA chip to me and our fight for the rights of all children including trans intersex and gender diverse children. It brought a tear to my eye and once again while writing this. Heartfelt often private thank yous push me to continue fighting for the end of non consensual circumcision.

# Hadachek v. Oregon Intact Global 2025 Press Conference
Please let me know if you find more news coverage on this. We at the Genital Autonomy Collective spoke about intersectionality at the Intact Global 2025 press conference and hopefully some of the news will also mention that. The Hadacheck v. Oregon case will expand opportunities for trans, intersex, and gender diverse people in ways that more people need to be aware of. Circumcision impacts gender affirming surgery options, and impacts our freedom as well, and we're fighting with the broader genital autonomy movement for our shared rights.

An excerpt from my speech:
"Genital cutting is often talked about in the categories of male, female, and intersex, but those categories are not distinct in reality. People inherently defy those arbitrary boundaries. Because of this, many of the children assigned male at birth and subjected to penile circumcision, or other childhood genital cutting, are transgender, intersex, and otherwise gender-diverse
... Circumcision, by removing genital tissue and creating scars, physically limits options for adults seeking genital surgery. This stands in the way of our freedom to make the choice for ourselves as adults just like it does for boys and men. We are working with the intactivist movement for our shared freedom." https://www.youtube.com/live/S4-Cva6dVu4?si=uO4-J9OzUMfypDZD&t=5127

With attention and advocacy opportunities the challenge is bringing, The Genital Autonomy Collective is in need of more volunteers to help. Please message me if you're interested in supporting intersectional genital autonomy for all children in Oregon. While we welcome help of all kinds, we specifically need help with: Graphic design, web design, contacts with press, fundraising, social media management, writing, non profit experience, academic research opportunities, tabling events, etc.

Intact Global is also looking for Intersex plaintiffs who have experienced Intersex related genital cutting in Oregon at any date to add to the Equal Protection Challenge against forced, non-religious genital mutilation. As well as trans plaintiffs who have experienced penile circumcision in Oregon to add to the legal challenge.

Please email me at Allie@autonomycollective.org if you'd like to come forward as a plaintiff or are interested in volunteering. If you're in need of support on violated genital autonomy or would like to help advocate you can join a group at our website: https://autonomycollective.org/groups.html

in my opinion, there are 2 key takeaways from 'white fragility' by robin diangelo:

1. racism is not an ‘either / or’ binary but rather a continuum &
2. the challenge is to accept and grapple with this truth.
