Change.org Human Rights division reports on how doctors, psychiatrists and psychologists like John Money, Maria New and Dix Poppas have long abused and physically brutalized intersex patients, and OII's Jo Proctor takes part in relating how it is no surprise to intersex people and organizations.
In other words, doctors should not be performing radical procedures on children with Intersex conditions. Instead patients and their parents should be supported medically and emotionally to help them cope with the social difficulties. When they become adults, then they can decide whether they want surgeries or other treatments. The doctors shouldn't decide for them.
