intersex initiative

The Intersex Initiative advocates for the rights and well-being of intersex individuals—people born with physical sex characteristics that don’t fit typical definitions of male or female. The movement seeks to raise awareness, promote acceptance, and ensure that medical interventions and social policies respect intersex people’s autonomy and dignity. This includes challenging unnecessary surgeries on intersex children, advocating for inclusive healthcare, legal recognition, and ending discrimination. The goal is to foster understanding and equality, recognizing intersex as a natural human variation rather than a condition to be corrected or stigmatized.
