Intersex people - some 4% of the global population - remain amongst the most discriminated-against of all human beings. Intersex newborns are killed in parts of Africa and Asia.
Intersex babies whose genitalia do not closely resemble medicine’s ideal of the perfect male or female genitals are subjected to nonconsensual cosmetic surgery on their most intimate, private body parts.
Intersex people of all ages are denied fundamental human rights and have no protection against discrimination.
The motivation for these abuses? Homophobia. As with the rest of the LGBTI community, homophobia causes intersex people enormous suffering whether they are, in fact, attracted to their own apparent sex or not.
Hida Viloria of Organisation Intersex International - the world’s largest organization of intersex people - is appealing to US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to fully and equally include intersex people in the State Department and White House’s global human rights work.
