Not every body fits your boxes. That doesn’t make it broken. This #IntersexAwarenessDay, let’s stop treating natural human diversity as something to fix. Intersex people deserve dignity, bodily autonomy, and the right to be - without shame, stigma, or forced “correction.” 1/2

We don’t need to be “fixed”. We need to be heard, affirmed, and protected. Mental health is a right. Happy World Mental Health Day 😇 #qknitfoundation #mentalhealth #worldmentalhealthday #mentalhealthawareness #queer

At QKnit, we believe no woman should have to choose between her truth and her safety, her love and her family, or her freedom and society’s expectations. Lesbian women deserve to love, choose, resist and live on their own terms. #LesbianDay #Women #QueerWomen #QKnitFoundation

Let’s talk facts, not myths. 🩷💜💙 Bisexual people are more likely to be told their identity doesn’t exist. More likely to be excluded from support systems.More likely to stay closeted for safety. That’s not just biphobia. That’s structural erasure. 1/2 #qknitfoundation #bipride

2/2 This Bi Pride Day, we demand more than celebration — we demand: 1. Bi-inclusive sexual health education 2. Mental health services that understand biphobia 3. An end to “prove your queerness” culture Happy Bi Pride Day! #qknitfoundation #bipride #bisexual #bisexuality #queer

There’s something powerful about finding the words to say, This is who I am. Literacy gives us the freedom to express, question, dream, connect and be seen as we truly are. This #InternationalLiteracyDay, here’s to every voice, every story, every way of being. Every voice belongs

8 YEARS OF QUEER KATTA! 🌈🌈 8 years ago, we started with a small circle, a katta, and a big dream - to have a space where we could just BE. No labels to explain. No judgements to face. Just stories, laughter, tears and chosen family. 1/3 #qknitfoundation #meetup #queerkatta

2/3 From that one katta to becoming a safe space for many folks across #Mumbai - what a journey! #QueerKatta was never just a meetup. It was a sense of belonging. Thank you to every single person who showed up, spoke up, held space, and kept this community alive for 8 years.
