My name is Arno Moulinier, also known as Arno XXY. I am an intersex activist, speaker and social media content creator.
I work to raise awareness, advocate for and highlight intersex realities, challenging the medical and social norms that govern our bodies. My commitment focuses in particular on ending the operations and treatments imposed on intersex people without their consent, which are considered torture by the UN.
I also engage with institutions, particularly at European level, to advance the recognition and protection of intersex people’s rights.
Through my public speaking, I draw on my personal experience but above all my expertise to denounce systemic violence, particularly medical violence and sexual and gender-based violence in healthcare. My work is not limited to informing; indeed, it aims to politicise these issues, to challenge the frameworks that produce them, and to create narratives that allow intersex people to exist differently.
Combining education, critique and knowledge-sharing, I strive to make these issues accessible whilst adopting an intersectional approach, attentive to the power dynamics that shape bodies and experiences.
