The intersex rights movement

The intersex rights movement advocates for the recognition and protection of people born with sex characteristics that don't fit typical definitions of male or female. Intersex individuals often face medical intervention, social stigma, and legal challenges. The movement aims to promote bodily autonomy, informed consent, and equal rights, working to eliminate unnecessary surgeries, discrimination, and harmful stereotypes. It emphasizes respecting intersex people’s identities and experiences, fostering awareness to ensure they receive fair treatment and support within society and legal systems.
