Am I just reading too much into this?

You're right, it should be on the same day as Halloween. Then they could knock on people's doors late at night dressed as themselves.

The reason Intersex Awareness Day falls five days before Halloween is believed to be due to a coincidental coincidence rather than any specific connection between the two holidays.

Intersex people, who are born with physical sex characteristics that do not fit the typical definitions of male or female, have historically been marginalized, mistreated, and sometimes even subjected to harmful medical procedures without their consent. Intersex Awareness Day serves as an opportunity to raise awareness and educate the public about the existence and struggles of intersex people, and advocate for their rights and acceptance.

According to the history of the day, it is the anniversary of the first major intersex demonstration in North America which happened in Boston at the annual conference of the American Society of Pediatrics. Which in 1996 was held on October 26th.

The general answer to “am I reading too much into this” is yes, probably.

I don't get what you're reading into it. 🤷 Would it be better 3 days before or 2 days after? And if so: why?
