Organisation Intersex International



The Organisation Intersex International (OII), founded in 2003 by Curtis Hinkle, is a decentralised network established to give voice to intersex people primarily outside the USA, those speaking languages other than just English, and people who do not fit the medicalised categories of disorder promoted by some other intersex groups: it is for people born with bodies which have atypical sexual characteristics. OII rejects the terminology of disorder (as in DSD), as well as the sexualization of intersex (as in intersexuality) within an LGBT framework; rather OII seeks to acknowldege intersex people's own distinct sexuality, or non-sexuality, or as people who may identify as gay, lesbian, trans or straight, and in alliance with people of diverse sexual orientations.
