Allie (She/Her/Elle)<p># Hadachek v. Oregon Intact Global 2025 Press Conference <br>Please let me know if you find more news coverage on this. We at the Genital Autonomy Collective spoke about intersectionality at the Intact Global 2025 press conference and hopefully some of the news will also mention that. The Hadacheck v. Oregon case will expand opportunities for trans, intersex, and gender diverse people in ways that more people need to be aware of. Circumcision impacts gender affirming surgery options, and impacts our freedom as well, and we're fighting with the broader genital autonomy movement for our shared rights.</p><p>An excerpt from my speech: <br>"Genital cutting is often talked about in the categories of male, female, and intersex, but those categories are not distinct in reality. People inherently defy those arbitrary boundaries. Because of this, many of the children assigned male at birth and subjected to penile circumcision, or other childhood genital cutting, are transgender, intersex, and otherwise gender-diverse<br>... Circumcision, by removing genital tissue and creating scars, physically limits options for adults seeking genital surgery. This stands in the way of our freedom to make the choice for ourselves as adults just like it does for boys and men. We are working with the intactivist movement for our shared freedom." <a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/S4-Cva6dVu4?si=uO4-J9OzUMfypDZD&amp;t=5127" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/live/S4-Cva6dVu4?s</span><span class="invisible">i=uO4-J9OzUMfypDZD&amp;t=5127</span></a></p><p>With attention and advocacy opportunities the challenge is bringing, The Genital Autonomy Collective is in need of more volunteers to help. Please message me if you're interested in supporting intersectional genital autonomy for all children in Oregon. While we welcome help of all kinds, we specifically need help with: Graphic design, web design, contacts with press, fundraising, social media management, writing, non profit experience, academic research opportunities, tabling events, etc. </p><p>Intact Global is also looking for Intersex plaintiffs who have experienced Intersex related genital cutting in Oregon at any date to add to the Equal Protection Challenge against forced, non-religious genital mutilation. As well as trans plaintiffs who have experienced penile circumcision in Oregon to add to the legal challenge.</p><p>Please email me at Allie@autonomycollective.org if you'd like to come forward as a plaintiff or are interested in volunteering.

Hotspur🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦<p>So we've all heard about the Calexit movement...they're collecting signatures to authorize a ballot initiative for California to secede from the US.</p><p>I've since learned that other secession movements are gathering steam. The Cascadia movement wants Washington and Oregon to join with CA and form a new nation. A New York/New Jersey movement is brewing, and there's a campaign for a Republic of New England, to incorporate MA, VT, NH, ME, CT, and RI.</p><p>Interestingly, the Texas secessionists, who raise their heads every so often, seem to be quiet. And there's likely others that I am unaware of.</p><p>A Balkanization of the US is scary, to be sure, but at the same time, many have predicted it for a while. A common thread is taxation...not that taxes are too high, but that these states, which are among those that pay the highest in taxes, get little in return, and some are angry over what they feel is subsidizing the rest of the country.</p><p>Is it coming? I'm not sure, but if the country continues to destabilize, it may be inevitable.</p><p>Cheery thoughts for a Tuesday morning...</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Politics</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Secession" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Secession</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Balkanization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Balkanization</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Cascadia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cascadia</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/RepublicOfNewEngland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RepublicOfNewEngland</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Scary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Scary</span></a></p>
