Handwritten text says ‘My intersex inclusive badge is very important. Intersex people can be Trans too! Sex and gender are very binary. It shouldn’t be acceptable! It ruins lives! #BreakTheBinary’

Founding the Intersex Collection: Object drop-off, archiving and community curating

Intersex visibility is urgent and vital. And yet the intersex community is still consistently left out of the LGBTQ+ conversation. To halt the erasure of the “I”, this workshop invites members of the intersex community to start their own community collection. The collection will showcase the experiences of the community in their own words and enshrine the pressing fight for intersex rights into the LGBTQIA+ human rights agenda.

The Museum of Transology is the UK’s most significant collection of objects representing trans, non-binary and intersex lives. Every story attached to the objects has been handwritten by the donor themselves, ensuring they are the curators of their gender stories.

This event is part of Queer and Now, a festival dedicated to the powerful role of LGBTQIA+ art and culture in the UK.
