Over the rainbow burst are the white words, “13th annual equality brunch. Not Going Back. Presented by Texas State Senator John Whitmire” with a gold frame around them. The booklet is on a tablecloth. There are knives and spoons around it.
When we awarded Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia the Intersex Advocacy Award at the Unity Banquet, she was unable to attend and sent a representative to accept the award on her behalf. We were quite surprised when she reached out to us and invited us to attend the Equality Brunch event as her guests. It was a great event and we were inspired by all the work others are doing to make change and promote equality for all.

We were honored to present the Intersex Advocacy Award at the 2022 Unity Banquet to Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia for her work on the historic HR 5730, the Protect Intersex Children Act. HR 5730 is the first piece of federal level legislation that would protect Intersex children if passed. Congresswoman Garcia’s representative Frank Gonzalez accepted the award on her behalf.
Following the 2021 anniversary of National Intersex Awareness Day, Congresswoman Sylvia R. Garcia (TX-29) introduced H.R. 5730 the Protect Intersex Children Act (PICA) to protect the dignity and bodily autonomy of children born with variations in sex characteristics. The bill would prohibit medically unnecessary surgeries on intersex children in the foster care system. “Too many children are subjected to invasive surgeries and lifelong consequences against their will,” said Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia (TX-29). “These surgeries are not just unnecessary, they are a clear violation of bodily autonomy and cause lasting harm to children who wouldn’t be able to understand what is being done to them, let alone consent. Intersex children should be able to grow up and make their own decisions about their bodies when they are old enough to do so.”

Introducing the WORLDS FIRST INTERSEX ARTCAR!
After several days of hard work in blazing Houston summer temperatures Koomah painted and decorated a 2007 4-door Toyota Yaris sedan, transforming it into an Intersex Awareness ARTcar! Thanks to some painting assistance from our Treasurer Jennifer and a little bit of sanding from Mo, we were able to get it finished in time for Houston Pride!
Look for us in the next Houston ArtCar Parade too.
More than just for cool looks and intersex awareness, the future goal of this creation is to provide transportation for intersex community members who are accessing healthcare in the Houston Medical Center, transporting us to speaking engagements at universities, conferences, and educational endeavors at the capitol in Austin.
Checkout our Instagram for photos of the process of making the ArtCar.

Image is an intersex flag, yellow background with a purple ring in the center. Text on the image says, “Intersex 4 repro justice” with the number 4 inside the purple ring.
With all the concerns about the potential overturning of Roe v. Wade, we thought it was important to be visible about the intersections of reproductive justice and bodily autonomy. We know first hand what happens when medical communities and governments dictate what happens to your body. Now more than ever we are present in solidarity with all bodies who may become pregnant and demand bodily autonomy andreproductive justice for everyone! Our bodies, our choice – your body, your choice!
Koomah made this design for some t-shirts and Mo made some signs in English and Español. Look for us at various reproductive justice rallies in Houston and Austin.

On March 15th, we had the honor of being guest speakers for HATCH youth for one of their digital Zoom meetings. This was very special to us, as both co-founders of The Houston Intersex Society met each other as teenagers in the HATCH program.
We did an Intersex 101 presentation and discussed some of the work that we’re doing in the community. We really encouraged the youth to take initiative and not be intimidated by their age or lack of resources. You don’t have to wait for a big multi-million dollar org to be the ones to make impact and change things, you can make a big difference exactly who you are and where you are!

For our annual Intersex Day of Remembrance we re-shared the video that we made last year. A digital video seemed safer than trying to do a meet-up during COVID. It’s also more accessible to everyone all over so that’s a plus too.
Intersex Day of Remembrance, also known as Intersex Day of Solidarity, takes place on November 8. The day marks the birthday of Herculine Barbin, a French intersex person whose memoirs were later published by the philosopher Michel Foucault.
Our special candle lighting and presentation video for Intersex Day of Remembrance (Intersex Day of Solidarity) is accessible on our IGTV, YouTube, and Facebook.
In addition to the candle lighting, we also discuss the importance of Intersex Day of Remembrance presented along with some clips from our previous Intersex Awareness Day variety show.

All 3 are standing in front of the state seal of Texas. At the time this photo was taken, Sylvia Garcia was a Senator.
We’ve spent many hours educating all different kinds of people about intersex issues; medical students, expectant parents, LGBTQ+ groups, and also legislators. Constantly presenting Intersex 101’s, telling our personal stories, and answering questions can be exhausting, so it’s always great seeing our hard work pay off when legislators are actively advocating for us and the protection of our community!

Illumination of Houston City Hall
Image is of Houston City Hall at night. It is a building with a tall building in the center and 2 short buildings, one on each side. the taller building in the center has an illuminated clock face at the top. The building is illuminated a purplish blue color. There are trees on both sides of the building and a reflecting pool in front of the building.
We had our annual illumination of Houston City Hall and the 6 bridges over US-59. Due to some technical difficulty with the lighting, the illumination of Houston City Hall in purple and yellow appeared more of a purple blue color this year.
The 6 bridges over US-59 didn’t have any lighting issues and were illuminated with each bridge in alternating purple and yellow colors.
A bit of history about Intersex Awareness Day in Houston:
In 2015, Houston City Hall was the first government building ever to be illuminated for Intersex Awareness Day.
In 2017, Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner issued a proclamation declaring Oct 25th Intersex Awareness Day in Houston, to commemorate the date of the first Houston City Hall illumination.
