Expressing support for the recognition of October 26, 2025, as Intersex Awareness Day, and supporting the goals and ideals of Intersex Awareness Day.

This resolution expresses strong support for the recognition of October 26, 2025, as Intersex Awareness Day , and endorses its core goals and ideals. This day commemorates the first public demonstration by intersex people in the United States, which occurred on October 26, 1996, and has since become a day for celebration and upliftment of the intersex community. The resolution defines "intersex" as individuals with innate variations in physical sex characteristics that differ from stereotypical male or female bodies, noting that it is distinct from being transgender but shares common interests in bodily autonomy and self-determination. The resolution highlights that intersex people face significant challenges, including stigmatization, discrimination, and the practice of non-consensual, irreversible genital surgeries on infants and young children to conform their bodies to societal expectations. It emphasizes that such surgeries are rarely medically urgent and can cause severe physical and psychological harm, advocating for delayed interventions until individuals can provide informed consent. The resolution cites support from medical organizations, former Surgeons General, and various government policies that oppose these non-consensual procedures and protect the rights of intersex individuals. It encourages federal, state, and local governments, healthcare providers, and schools to observe Intersex Awareness Day, increase public knowledge, offer culturally and clinically competent care, and prioritize the health and human rights of intersex people.
