Legal recognition of intersex people

Some people are born with bodies that are not completely male or completely female. These people are called intersex.

In some countries, the law only recognizes two genders – male and female. This means that intersex people may not be legally recognized as who they are.

However, some countries are working to change this. They are creating laws that recognize intersex people and allow them to have legal documents that reflect their true gender.

This is important because it allows intersex people to have their rights protected, such as being able to access healthcare that meets their specific needs and to be treated with respect and dignity.
