Intersex people are born with genitals or internal sex organs that fall outside the more common male/female binary. Internationally, being born intersex is as common as being born with green eyes. But every year, hundreds of thousands of people undergo surgery as babies or children to “correct” their gender with the choice determined by a doctor, always without consent and with little advice offered to the parents about the wider implications of such an invasive procedure. This can, and often does, lead to trauma for the intersex person that resonates into adulthood. American activist Pidgeon speaks to Attitude about their campaign to #EndIntersexSurgery.
