Community

There is a great international intersex community out there. Even though the experiences of intersex people are extremely diverse, because no intersex individual is the same, intersex people often have similar experiences. Uniting with other intersex people can be of great importance for your mental health, happiness, understanding and acceptance of yourself.

What do my doctors mean?

Intersex people are in their life often in medical environments. Knowing what your medical professionals mean and what interventions are possible and necessary is extremely important for intersex people and carers of intersex children. More information allows for better protection of themselves or their children.

Healthcare

Intersex is a social concept because intersex people have to deal with the social consequences of living in a society that is set up completely on the idea that there are two types of people: men and women. The reality is much more complex (in both the aspects of gender and sex). Although intersex is a social concept, sometimes intersex people do need some kind of healthcare. Here you will find information on healthcare for intersex people.

Regional declarations

There are several regional declarations around the world that have been written by intersex communities. The Malta Declaration broadly describes what the international intersex community wants to achieve. Regional intersex organizations in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America/Caribbean, and Oceania have added their own statements.

Intersex inclusive policy

How can you include sex diversity and intersex in your policy? And on what basis can you do so? It is often thought that ending the non-consensual, unnecessary medical treatments that are often performed on intersex children is the only thing intersex organisations work on. But in reality, sex diversity and intersex should be visible in many policy areas.
