intersex-inclusive healthcare

Intersex-inclusive healthcare ensures medical services respect and address the diverse physical variations of intersex individuals—people born with physical sex characteristics that don’t fit typical definitions of male or female. It involves providing respectful, informed, and personalized care without unnecessary surgeries or stigmatization. Healthcare providers are trained to understand intersex traits and support individuals’ physical and mental well-being, emphasizing informed consent and patient autonomy. This approach promotes dignity, reduces health disparities, and recognizes intersex variations as a natural part of human diversity within medical practice.
