Today, 8 November, is Intersex Solidarity Day, described by the Organisation Intersex International (OII) on its website as being a day when:

    All human rights organizations, feminist allies, academics and gender specialists, as well as other groups and individuals interested in intersex human rights, are invited to show their solidarity by organizing workshops, lectures, discussions and other activities which deal with any or all of the following topics:

        * The life of Herculine Barbin.
        * Intersex genital mutilation.
        * The violence of the binary sex and gender system.
        * The sexism implicit within the binary construct of sex and gender.
        * Human rights. Intersex issues are feminist issues.
