The intersex community is participating in the Canal Parade for the first time with their own boat and an intersex Pride ambassador. This marks a significant step for visibility. The boat, organized by the collective 'Spread the Word', features intersex individuals and allies. Many intersex people remain private about their identity due to societal stigma and past medical practices. This participation highlights the ongoing emancipation of intersex people, following other groups within the LGBTQIA+ community, and aims to foster acceptance and understanding.
