Full respect for human rights of intersex people


Declaration OII - USA in favor of full respect for human rights intersex people

Due to the arbitrary division of human beings into two legal categories, male or female, intersex people are deprived of one of the most fundamental human rights, he can live and be recognized as they are, ie as an intersexed person. Sex beings living is not binary and the two sexes, male and female, are not a valid description of biological reality. Accordingly, we will never have valid definition of what it means to be a man or a woman because, in this context, there is no way to establish a definition that prevents people intersex being mutilated, normalized force and inserted into one or other of these categories. Thus, we demand that

1) No person intersexed does track imposed arbitrary insertion in one of these categories, because it deprives us of our most fundamental right by endorsing the normalization of force and intolerance against our natural sex - intersex.

2) That, on the one hand, the government stopped the forced and arbitrary assignments to a binary gender system and it allows everyone to integrate gender in which they feel they belong. If not, we ask that intersex people are guaranteed the same legal status and the same rights as those enjoyed by other persons whose body is that of a man or a woman standard. We therefore ask what we can do legally recognized as intersex, with the right for people who have this status to marry which they wish to have full protection against all forms of sexual harassment (which men and women have already) and can live openly and proudly taking our identity by having a medical and legal recognition of our sex. As some intersex people identify as men or as women, the latter should in no way be forced to change their legal status, which would also violate their most fundamental rights.

3) We believe that this would be a plus for the whole society to recognize the existence of intersex people and not only for intersexed people themselves. In doing so, many stereotypes and other standards totally artificial gender are thus challenged.

4) We say openly that we are proud to be es-ourselves and we demand an end to silence, shame and standardization enforced and institutionalized against us has yet become law in this country.
