Beyond Boxes: The Intersex Case for Intersectionality

Gender is fluid and sexuality is a spectrum, but the false binary of biological sex remains. While 150 million Intersex individuals worldwide stand as evidence to the contrary, they are often “normalized” in their youth by un-consented surgeries and stigmatized into silence thereafter. Whether by “bathroom bills” or medically-condoned genital…

SB 576: The Quick Fix That Will Silence Survivors of Sexual Assault

Texas students Hailey Pulman and Katherine Protil share how a well-intentioned but misguided attempt to bring sexual assault cases to light will actually drive survivors further into the shadows. — Final words of advice for your college ready son may be something along the lines of “Don’t forget to study!” but for us and most of our female friends, our mothers refused to leave before we promised we wouldn’t put our drinks down at frat parties or walk home alone…
