B9: Support Intersex youth
Summary
This motion calls for us to specifically mention the issues facing intersex youth when campaigning for the wider community.
Motion Text
Notes:
Intersex people are people born with difference in genitalia, chromosomes,
gonads, internal sex organs, hormone production, hormone response and/or
secondary sex traits
Intersex people face simmilar fear, bias that faces members of the
LGBTIQA+ community
Intersex youth are often undergo non-consentual surgeries which are in not
medically necessary
As these surgeries are preformed on intersex youth as infants this denys
them bodily autonomy and leave them with reproductive issues, issues with
sexual function and problems with emotional wellbieng
We must campaign to remove stigma and medicalisation of intersex bodies,
use intersex inclusive language, legislation reform that include intersex
people and speak out against injustice
Believes:
Intersex youth are an often overlooked group that face discrimination
Laws that negativley affect trans and non-binary people also negativley
affect intersex people
Intersex people face simmilar struggles to the LGBTQA+ community and
should be accepted as part of the community
Resolves:
To advocate for intersex youth just as much as trans and non-binary people
