Emi Koyama, intersex activist and director of the Intersex Initiative organization recently gave an interesting lecture on intersex issues. The Intersex Initiative site has this blurb, and the full lecture is worth checking out:
"This past February, Intersex Initiative director Emi Koyama gave the keynote lecture at Translating Identity conference at University of Vermont. The lecture, titled "From Intersex to DSD: Toward a Queer Disability Politics of Gender," is about the recent introduction of the term DSD (disorders of sex differentiation) to replace "intersex" within the medical community, and how Koyama has come to endorse it despite some concerns from other activists. We now have the full text of the lecture available here."
