The Wisconsin Legislature has introduced Senate Joint Resolution 109, which recognizes October 26 as Intersex Awareness Day for the years 2025 and 2026. This date commemorates the first public demonstration by intersex individuals in the United States, which took place on October 26, 1996. The resolution highlights the significance of intersex awareness, noting that intersex refers to individuals born with variations in physical or biological sex characteristics. It emphasizes the importance of celebrating and uplifting the intersex community, which comprises approximately 1.7 percent of the population.

The resolution also addresses the challenges faced by intersex individuals, including stigma, discrimination, and the harmful medical practices that often involve unnecessary surgeries on intersex children to conform to traditional gender norms. It calls for respect for the human rights and bodily autonomy of intersex people and urges government institutions to implement supportive policies. By recognizing Intersex Awareness Day, the Wisconsin Legislature aims to promote equality, dignity, and respect for individuals with intersex traits as an integral part of the state's diversity.
