What do you want to see in the intersex-affirming future? What would exist in the world that has justice and freedom for intersex people? We asked interACT Youth to create art that represents what the future holds.

Welcome to our Intersex Futures dream board.

“Intersex Beauty is Our Nature” Rainii, 21

“Technicolor” Desmond Luis Edwards, 20

Desmond looks at the camera in a mirror-textured shirt. They have their coiled brown hair pulled back from their face, and they have facial hair covering their jawline. They wear silver earrings, a septum piercing and winged eyeliner.

“Demedicalized Wristband” Aubrey, 24

Artist: @aubrey.r.l.

There are three photos providing close-up details of the embroidery, and the ribbon is wrapped around the arm of the artist.

A featureless purple silhouette with a yellow overcoat holds out their gloved hands for a bilateral gynandromorph butterfly, where the wings are two different sizes and colors due to mixed sex traits. The wings are amber yellow and a blue-tinted black respectively. The lower half of the person's overcoat is lifted as if by wind. The person wears earrings depicting moths with similarly characterized yellow and black wings. The person has long flowing purple hair against a darker, solid purple background. The background is broken into three parts: above the person's hair is a slightly gradient purple-yellow pattern, behind them is the aforementioned dark purple, and below them are purple-yellow depictions of orchid flowers. Lastly, there is a calico cat by their side with primarily black fur alongside orange and white patches. Its body is curved sideways, as if it had rushed forward from behind the person to the foreground.
