Mitch Travis@profmitchtravis.bsky.social · 7h ago

Hi all a new blog post reflecting on the UK intersex communities open letter, the report from the call for evidence and the UK governments responsibilities. journaloflawandsociety.co.uk/blog/interse... Featuring myself, Fae Garland, David Griffiths and Charlotte Jones.

Today is Intersex Awareness Day. 30 years after the first protests members of the UK intersex communities have come together to write this important open letter to the UK government: openletter.earth/open-letter-... Please do read, sign and share widely.

On Intersex Awareness Day, our @profmitchtravis.bsky.social has been a part of an Open Letter: Government Action on Variations in Sex Characteristics, responding to the Government’s publication of Variations in Sex Characteristics: Call for Evidence in June 2026. Check it out in his reel below👇

The open letter has been a collaborative effort between a number of different people and organisations and taken a huge amount of effort. It represents a historic moment in intersex organising in the UK and I feel incredibly proud to have been part of it.
