The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' report opposes nonconsensual surgeries on intersex infants, highlighting the need for health equity and best practices.
The report emphasizes that intersex is a diverse umbrella term, not synonymous with being trans or nonbinary. Intersex individuals can have varied health needs and experiences.
Many intersex individuals have reported experiencing harmful medical interventions, suggesting that their variations are mischaracterized as disorders rather than a natural part of human diversity.
The report highlights the growing evidence against surgical interventions on intersex infants, citing lasting harm, stigma, and mistrust resulting from past medical practices.
