Intersex advocacy group Organisation Intersex International (OII) Australia is calling for more support from the GLBT  community support in advocating for the rights of intersex people.

OII president Gina Wilson said it was crucial intersex issues be aired during the Australian Human Rights Commission's sexual orientation, sex and gender identity discrimination consultation, currently underway.

"It would be good if we can raise awareness in the community that when talking [about discrimination laws], intersex is included, because we're often overlooked," Wilson told Sydney Star Observer.
