Part of what I did to help the intersex patients’ rights movement was to help lead the Intersex Society of North America and to do a lot of writing for ISNA. (And I mean a lot of writing.) Here are some of the things I wrote for ISNA’s printed and online materials. This list doesn’t include the many things I edited and ghost-wrote under other people’s names (services I was happy to provide).


  1. “What’s the history behind the intersex rights movement?”

  2. “Intersex Treatment as Standard Medical Practice...Or, How Wrong I Was”

  3. “A mother’s and daughter’s experience rejecting clitoral surgery”

  4. “What evidence is there that you can grow up psychologically healthy with intersex genitals (without ‘normalizing’ surgeries)?”

  5. “What’s wrong with the way intersex has traditionally been treated?”

  6. “Shifting the Paradigm of Intersex Treatment”

  7. “Top Ten Myths about Intersex”

  8. “Urologists: Agonize over whether to cut, then cut the way I’m telling you” (report from the 2004 American Academy of Pediatrics meeting)

  9. “Intersex and Homeland Security”

  10. “Progress in intersex care!”

  11. “Our Bodies, Ourselves includes intersex!”

  12. News report on AAAS meeting (on intersex and “same-sex marriage”)

  13. “What intersex does to the ‘same-sex’ marriage debate”

  14. “Doctors Containing Hermaphrodites: The Victorian Legacy”

  15. typical news/fundraising appeal (geesh, did I write a LOT of these kinds of things over the years!)
