  What is Intersex Genital Integrity
When Students for Genital Integrity refers to Male and Female genital integrity, we refer not to the shape of the genitals, but to the gender and social role that society has placed upon the person.
Intersex genital integrity however focuses on the genital appearance or sex, because historically, medical science has used genital appearance to determine gender roles and often, these individuals with abiguous genitals have received much of society's abuse and hate.
Interestingly, this process of dichotomized gendering puts intersex genital integrity squarely into the realms of male or female genital integrity because the child is now called "male" or "female" while their genitals are made to conform to what heteronormative society defines as "authentically" male or female.
