OII - Position on the Third Gender

The design of a new category to intersex, brings different problems. Next: how shall we define intersex? OII believes that there will never be a clear definition and that it simultaneously is absolutely no need for a legal definition of intersex. We do not have clear definitions of what a woman and what is a man - we accept only that this is the case.

It is the intention of OII in support of human rights is to work from Inter-sex and understanding to achieve it that there are not two sexes.

The production of a special category for Inter-sex could lead to further marginalization of a group that is poorly understood. Our legal arguments are based on the right of persons to establish their own identity within the two-gender system and, above all in the hope that one day there is no one forced assignments of gender categories.

OII - position the medical practice

Our Western societies are based on a two-gender system that clearly separates men and women. They accept the nature and the enormous variety of possible gender is not it, that lie to each other in various degrees within a spectrum - with the man at one end and the woman at the other end - and this overlap. The arbitrary division of biological sex in only two categories of individuals makes all sex allocation problem. Neither the genitals or chromosomes help us the "true" sex of a child determine. Also, the gonads, hormones and the internal reproductive organs of the child no reliable characteristics that could be used to determine the sex of a child in conclusion. Every child is a unique combination of these factors was born, hence any gender assignment because of the many different combinations a mere conjecture.

We talk to all surgical procedures on children with "different looking" sex organs in which there is no medical necessity. Instead, we advocate to give intersexed children the right and the time itself to determine their own sexual identity, to then at the appropriate time to share with others. We also advise parents and professionals to respect the sexual identity of their children and do everything necessary to ensure that their children can live according to their choice.

It is extremely important that parents, doctors and therapists for the interests of the child are responsible to respect the identity of the child as soon as er_sie seine_ihre own sexual identity is clearly communicated. Every effort should be made to assist the child in his discretion to allow him access to the puberty hormones and / or other treatments that are necessary to facilitate the child's life in the sex, to which they belong feels.

We commit ourselves to a paradigm shift to current medical practice on the surgery and the diagnosis of "gender identity disorders" in those inter-sex Individuals who work on them feel at birth assigned sex is not or no longer belong. OII reiterates that an intersex person should be determined only because of their own inner psychological perception of his race. This personal choice in sexual positioning should be done without medical or government interference and to be understood as a fundamental human right. determine

OII's policy on intersex, medical diagnoses and health information.

OII is very much on the right of the individual to privacy and respect the privacy of medical records and requires no disclosure of medical information or diagnoses by its members or support groups. Our members are instructed not to ask other members for medical diagnoses, it You may decide in its sole discretion to publish this information and share with others. There are many reasons why.

1) intersex is a very sensitive issue and many people seek support without private and personal information about her body or her medical history to share with others.

2) Many intersex people have no real medical diagnosis since many are born with intersexed longitudinal variation, for which there is currently no explanation or diagnosis.

3) Some intersexed people have no medical diagnosis because they have grown up in ignorance and medical information concerning their variation were kept secret, and their variation from early signs and medical records were long ago destroyed.

4) Many people are denied an accurate diagnosis for various reasons (because intersex example, in the eyes of the doctor does not exist or Patient_in is even kept deliberately in ignorance) and they can not themselves well . pay

5) understands OII intersex not as a disease and therefore requires no diagnosis.

6) OII's definition is a human being under the term intersex, who was born with a body that is not the typical standard and norms for men and women.

OII also find it unethical to speak without the consent of the person on diagnoses of group members from OII, this is especially true for those who are medical professionals or employed in medical institutions.

Wenn über die Diagnosen von Menschen des OII-Boards gesprochen wird und dies ohne jeglichen Zugang zu persönlichen medizinischen Unterlagen und ohne Zustimmung der betroffenden Person getan wird, ist dies nicht nur unethisch, sondern eine Verletzung der Privatsphäre und des Datenschutzes. Besonders gilt dies wenn solche Informationen von medizinischen Experten oder Angestellten medizinischer Institutionen verbreitet werden.
