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.
