Difference between revisions of "Disorders of Sex Development"

Revision as of 22:46, 21 December 2008

Disorders of Sex Development (DSD) is a controversial synonym for Intersexuality. It was developed as a more descriptive term for intersex, but some intersexed people have lashed out against it, since it refers to a natural variation as a "disorder"^[1]. A particularly outspoken activist against the terminology is Curtis Hinkle, of Organisation Intersex International (OII).
