In the early 1990s two New Social Movements arose in the USA. These movements rapidly became international movements under the umbrella names "transgender" and "intersex".
Both movements have similar starting points: the diverse forms of societal discrimination on the basis of the pathologization and normalization of bodies, identities and performativities. In academic literature they are subsumed under the term "New Gender Movements". However, this term obscures the activists' different experiences, strategies and goals and the inherent conflicts and misunderstandings between as well as within the two movements. Potentially shared goals such as the critique of a heternormative society are often portrayed undifferentiatedly, the politics of the movements hereby become limited to minority politics and their vigor is undermined.

It is an interesting article and an interesting journal, the the look of it, ell. Although perhaps the other four people you named and maybe Andra or Glendagladwitch might be better able to write an article for publication there than I.

Definitely something that more than one member here should consider.
