Intersex people have always existed. How they first started to find each other, build community and forge a movement against medical erasure is a story that’s mostly gone untold.

A new book aims to change that. “Hermaphrodite Logic: A History of Intersex Liberation” by writer, comedian and historian Juliana Gleeson was released in June by Verso Books. It’s a roughly 230-page dive into the very brief history of organizing for intersex rights from the 1990s to present day.

Edit: Oh, it’s ‘only’ the progress flag, heh.

It's the pride and progress flags. The fact that this is baked into Gnome as of 48.2 means it's no longer restricted to just a month. That's exactly what the community needs.
