Authors

Abstract

The article discusses the challenges faced by the intersex movement in challenging medical protocols for intersex infants and the debates within the movement regarding treatment approaches. It highlights the importance of forming alliances with other social justice movements, such as feminists and LGBT organizations, to effectively combat sex discrimination. The article proposes using a gender nonconformity theory, as recognized in legal cases like Price Waterhouse v. Hopkins, to unify these groups in their fight against discrimination.
