This edited collection interrogates how social and cultural
representations of individuals with intersex variations impact how
they are understood and treated from legal and medical perspectives
across the world. Contributors consider how novelists, filmmakers,
artists, and medical professionals have represented people with
intersex variations, and highlight the importance of ethical
representation and autonomy to encourage wider cultural and medical
knowledge of intersex variations as a naturally occurring
phenomenon. The text also examines the ways in which individuals
with intersex variations are represented and viewed in India,
Italy, Pakistan and Israel, as well as how this impacts decision
making for the individuals, families and medical providers. This
book argues that reactions to intersex variations will not change
unless they are no longer presented as treatable disorders. It
positions representation at the forefront, shifting the emphasis
away from a concern for maintaining gender norms to upholding the
human rights of intersex people. This volume will be of interest to
researchers and scholars in intersex studies as well as
policymakers and activists.
