Contesting Intersex: The Dubious Diagnosis (Biopolitics, 10)

Drawing on interviews with intersex people, their parents and medical experts the author describes views on intersex in medical and activist communities, and the evolution of thought in regard to intersex visibility and transparency. She explores the terminology and argues that the renaming of 'intersex' as a 'disorder of sex development' is strong evidence that the intersex diagnosis is dubious.
