In a landmark decision, the Australian Medical Association unanimously voted at their National Conference in August to recognise intersex traits as natural variations in sex characteristics. We caught up with Dr Aileen Kennedy from UTS, who is also a Director at InterAction for Health and Human Rights (formerly Intersex Human Rights Australia) about the change and what it means for the intersex community.Support the show: https://buymeacoffee.com/tunefmSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
