http://www.gaystarnews.com/article/third-gender-no-thanks-says-australian-intersex-organization120712Gina Wilson president of Organisation Intersex International Australia (OII) writes about why they are against having an 'intersex' option on birth certificates, as proposed by a Canberra law council this week.
As an organisation with extensive experience with our membership in countries where third sex options are available, we note that such options only serve to marginalize and further discriminate against those categorized as neither male nor female.
Given the current two-sex system is used to discriminate against around 50% of the world's population we do not see how further categories will relieve discrimination against anyone.
