XY Spectrum was founded in 2017 in Belgrade. It is committed to promote the rights of intersex and trans people and their families, improving their position and quality of life.
Intersex is a term of English origin, created as a coin of two words: inter (between) and sex. It encompasses the experiences of people whose bodies cannot be classified as typically male or female at birth.
Trans is an umbrella term used to designate persons whose gender identity differs from sex ascribed at birth.
Is celebrated to make trans people and their identities more visible and recognized, doing the same for all those who contribute to the struggle for trans rights.
