Some countries and organizations have misinterpreted the letters behind the acronym '''IDAHOBIT''' with different meanings beyond those of the official expansions, sometimes mistakenly taking the "I" of "BI" to be standing for [[Intersexphobia]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://useu.usmission.gov/idahobit/|title=70 AMBASSADORS JOIN DECLARATION ON THE INTERNATIONAL DAY AGAINST HOMOPHOBIA, BIPHOBIA AND TRANSPHOBIA|date=17 May 2024|access-date=25 May 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.apsc.gov.au/working-aps/diversity-and-inclusion/diversity-inclusion-news/idahobit-what-it-and-why-it-important|title=IDAHOBIT – What is it? And why is it important?|date=27 April 2022|access-date=25 May 2024}}</ref>, however the IDAHO committee and ILGA, after consulting with [[Intersex]] organizations and the community put out a clarifying note on their website in 2024 that there is no consensus by the Intersex community for the inclusion in ''IDAHOBIT'':
{{quote|Important note: Events around 17 May go by different names and acronyms, and that’s okay. The Committee who started working around the date back in 2004 currently uses IDAHOBIT, and will therefore use the hashtags #IDAHOBIT and #IDAHOBIT2024.
Although we have seen the translation of the “I” as “intersexism,” this is a term considered to be vague and misleading. After consulting with Intersex organisations, we ask everyone to please refrain from using this term and use the term “intersexphobia” instead. Also note that the name of the Day does not currently include “intersexphobia,” as there is no global consensus among Intersex communities that this should be included in the remit of 17 May.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://may17.org/about/idahobit-2024/|title=IDAHOBIT 2024|access-date=25 May 2024|website=may17.org}}</ref>}}
