Urgent Call to Action
Intersex Plaintiff Urgently Needed
A historic opportunity to protect intersex children under the Oregon Constitution is at risk of being lost forever.
Hadachek v. Oregon challenges the state’s discriminatory genital cutting laws which protect girls but leave boys and intersex children unprotected. This case could establish the first-ever constitutional protection for intersex bodily autonomy. But there’s a catch:
Unless a qualified intersex plaintiff steps forward, this case may lose its power to set precedent for intersex rights.
This is our only active legal challenge to Oregon’s binary and exclusionary system. Without an intersex plaintiff, the case may move forward - but it will likely fail to secure protections for intersex people, and this constitutional opportunity could be lost.
With an intersex plaintiff, the odds of success increase significantly - and any favorable ruling is far more likely to set a precedent that protects intersex minors and the adults they will become.
Who We Need
We urgently seek:
- Intersex adults (under age 40) harmed by Oregon-based procedures
- Intersex youth currently under threat of medical interventions, with supportive guardians
- Intersex adults facing Oregon-based discrimination in education, licensing, or healthcare
- Transgender people who have experienced penile circumcision in Oregon
The Time Is Now

About Genital Autonomy Collective
Genital Autonomy in short is the right to be free from any non-consensual genital alteration surgeries as a minor or coerced adult including intersex 'corrective' surgeries, male circumcision, and female circumcision. These are also known as intersex genital mutilation(IGM), male genital mutilation(MGM), and female genital mutilation(FGM) respectively.
The Genital Autonomy Collective is a peer network of support groups and advocates for intersectional genital autonomy. Our main focus is providing support and community for the intersection of violated genital autonomy and marginalized peoples, and their (affected) allies.
Our overarching goal is to reduce the misconception that the genital autonomy movement is attached to manosphere and faschosphere influences from the right-wing. We strive to provide an entry point for supporters of intersectional ideals to get involved in genital autonomy advocacy.
