The Congenital Gender Variations Ribbon

In November of 2007, GendersInX, a grassroots intersex support group founded by Andre Lorek, unveiled this Ribbon and has given it to the Intersex communities worldwide. The Ribbon stands for the people we are no matter what gender we feel most appropriate individually. In a world where gender is being perversely attributed to doctrines that describe us as “sexually disordered” and in which the medical communities would rather normalise us, we have a symbol of unity and of combined strength to fight against those who would invisibilise us and pathologise our gender.

Wearing this ribbon shows the world that we are here to stay and that much is to be done for the world to recognise us as important Intersexed individuals. GendersInX believes that people are more than a condition. We are individuals with thoughts and feelings of our own and GendersInX is an organisation which helps to establish a certain pride in ourselves while helping others in the same situation.

July 9th, 2008 marks the date that GendersInX celebrates its 1st complete year. It is with all this in mind that GIX unveils a line of apparel with this printed ribbon as shown below.

                                                  

The apparels can be purchased from the online store www.cafepress.com/cgvribbon  which can be reached from any computer on earth. The list of apparel ranges from caps in various colors, T-Shirts, Polos, jogging apparel to cups, badges, magnets and more.

All proceeds of this line of apparel will go to the GendersInX organisation and the monies made from this will help to support the Intersex movement world wide.

On November the 8th, 2008, let’s celebrate Intersex Solidarity Day together by showing this Ribbon as a sign of solidarity and mutual support regardless of our differences.

The Organisation Intersex International is honoured that André Lorek is a coalition member of OII and we encourage others to support GendersInX by shopping online and showing your support of GENDER VARIATIONS.
