ALT A Powerful Intersex Awareness Day! October 26 is annual Intersex Awareness Day. On this day, we remember that the I in LGBTQIA+ must stand not for “invisible,” but for the hope of a free and peaceful life for every intersex individual.

ALT All around the world, intersex people are subject to mutilation and shame for existing as they are. Their sexual characteristics and gender expression must be based on the euphoria of intersex individuals, not the comfort of perisex medical professionals, family members, or anyone else.

ALT In the Philippines, Intersex PH continues to fight for the approval of the Cagandahan Bill, a proposed bill to give intersex individuals a safe, accessible route towards legal recognition of their true sex and identity. This has been filed to the Senate on January 28, 2026 by Senator Risa Hontiveros.

ALT Aromantic and Asexual Support Philippines stands firmly with the intersex community locally and worldwide in the struggle for true legal and social inclusion.
