We welcome publication of the first annual report of the Australian Capital Territory's oversight body for medical interventions on people with innate variations of sex characteristics.
At its National Conference last weekend, Dr Thomas Drake-Brockman moved for the AMA to “recognise Innate Variations of Sex Characteristics as natural variations in humans, oppose pathologisation of Intersex people, and call for the deferral of all non-urgent medical and surgical interventions for those who cannot given personal and informed consent”. Dr Jasmine Davis seconded the motion.
