The InterConnect Archive Project Needs You


 

 

 

 

 

Have you endured eye-rolls from your friends and family because you’ve been archiving all your emails for the past fifteen years?  Have people judged you for your borderline hoarding tendencies, just because you've filled boxes and boxes with AIS-SG & AIS-DSD newsletters?

Well, prepare to be validated…!

One of our members, LJ Scott, has been collecting and archiving our group's history over the past year, gathering a collection of 2000-2009 newsletters and fliers, as well as every newsletter from 2016 onward.  But we need your help filling in the gap from 2010 through 2015!

If you've been diligently saving our emails and printed newsletters, please contact
''lj at interconnect dot support'' or leave a comment with your contact information.

Thank you!

Living Out

    with Banti Jaswal     As we celebrate Intersex Awareness Day we turn out attention to our incredible community for your thoughts on awareness and living authentically. Banti Jaswal (they/them), is an intersex artist, presenter, and Greater Boston Area PFLAG scholarship recipient. For this special IAD newsletter issue Banti shares about their experiences of becoming and living authentically. On Coming Out I was able to come out after I had a community of people who loved and supported me no matter what. With these intersex and non intersex people behind me I thought “well who cares what other people think”. I was fortunate that most of my experiences have been great. It's important to be prepared for questions that people may not know are offensive but this helps me with my speaking. The bad experiences don't hurt me as hard with my core family and friend’s love. Before coming out I wish I'd known that it is one step closer to being your true self. For me, at least, it f

Sherri Groveman Morris On Monday, October 9, we learned of the passing of InterConnect ’s dear founder, Sherri Groveman Morris (1958-2023).  Sherri, an orchid legend, founded InterConnect in 1996 as the AISSG-US (Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome Support Group, US Chapter) and was also actively involved with the Intersex Society of North American (ISNA). At that time, InterConnect functioned as a small support group for women with AIS.  Over the last 27 years, InterConnect has grown into an organization that supports people with all intersex variations and gender identities, their families, friends, and allies.  Dr. Charmian Quigley, who knew Sherri from InterConnect 's founding, wrote this about Sherri:  "Passionate and compassionate, committed, courageous, dedicated, warm, honest, human, humorous, driven, bold, articulate, engaging, our surrogate mother and grandmother, the matriarch of our family tree; the architect of a support movement that has blossomed over 28 years
