Intersex and/as/is/with disability. The connections between
intersex and disability deserve nuanced attention if we are to
strengthen intersex human rights claims and understand the
experiences of intersex people living with the disabling
consequences of medical intervention. Cripping Intersex explores
three key themes: the medical management of people with intersex
characteristics; the mainstream fascination with sport sex-testing
policies; and the eugenic implications of preimplantation genetic
diagnosis. This necessary work offers radical new understandings of
intersex-with-disability by investigating how intersex and
interphobia intersect with disability and ableism, and pushes
analyses of intersex experience further than feminist or queer
theory can do alone.
