The Intersex Bill of Rights

The Intersex Bill of Rights is a proposed legal framework aimed at protecting individuals born with variations in sex characteristics—intersex people—from discrimination and harmful medical practices. It emphasizes respecting bodily autonomy, the right to self-identify, and access to accurate information and healthcare without unnecessary surgery or interventions. The bill promotes human rights, dignity, and equality for intersex individuals, advocating for their inclusion and protection under the law, and seeks to address historical injustices related to intersex people's treatment and recognition.
