Intersex Rights

Intersex rights refer to the recognition and protection of individuals born with variations in sex characteristics, which may not fit typical definitions of male or female. These rights advocate for bodily autonomy, meaning individuals should have the choice over medical interventions regarding their bodies, especially concerning surgeries often performed in infancy. Advocates seek legal recognition, protection against discrimination, and access to essential healthcare. The movement emphasizes the importance of respect for intersex individuals' identities and experiences, promoting awareness and acceptance within society. Overall, intersex rights aim to ensure dignity and equality for all individuals, regardless of their physical traits.
