Tell Doctors this isn’t okay
U.S. hospitals lack clear policies for delaying intersex surgeries and allowing for individual consent. This is against the recommendations of most international human rights organizations. Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago, Boston Children’s Hospital and New York City Health and Hospitals system are the only places with protective policies. Still, hospitals like Lurie’s have dangerous exceptions for certain intersex variations.
