The San Francisco Human Rights Commission has released the long-awaited, "A Human Rights Investigation in the Medical "Normalization" of Intersex People". Issued on May 3, 2005, the report caps years of work and is the result of a public hearing held on May 27, 2004. At that public hearing, many people with intersex testified, as did their family members along with medical professionals and ethicists. We have put together this resource section to help journalists and others try to decipher some of the information in it and determine what it really means. We hope this will help you understand more about the report process, about intersex, and Bodies Like Ours. As people read it and question it, we will compile an FAQ section for you to help you learn more and how it may possibly affect you if you have a child with intersex or are intersex yourself.
