Open letter to the organizers of the Forum on Genital Cutting in a
Globalized Age

http://www.intersexualite.org/Genital_Cutting.html
6/29/2008

"We are writing to you to express our concern that you have invited
Cheryl Chase of the now defunct Intersex Society of North America to
be the keynote speaker at this forum.

Here are our concerns:

* Why were UK board members of OII, or UK academics/researchers
associated with OII, not invited to participate and contribute to this
meeting?


* The new organization which Bo Laurent (real name of Cheryl
Chase) has helped found appears to be very pro-surgery. If you read
the website of the Accord Alliance, you will notice that the mission
of the Accord Alliance is to support the Consensus Statement. The
following is from the LWPES Consensus Statement on CAH."
