What drives us

Our Mission

Support

No one should have to navigate being intersex alone. Whether you’re intersex yourself, a parent, an educator, or an ally who wants to learn, we’re here to connect you to trusted information, affirming care, and community.

You are seen. You are valid. You belong.

Educate

Intersex people are born with natural variations in sex characteristics like chromosomes, hormones, or anatomy that don’t fit typical definitions of male or female. These variations are more common than people realize  but still hidden by silence, stigma, and misinformation.

Learn the real facts. Unlearn the myths. Start seeing intersex people clearly.

Empower

Change starts with showing up. Help us make intersex stories visible, support affirming care, and push back against the silence.

Your voice. Your action. Your support. It matters more than you know.
