Medical student giving Intersex presentation

[davidlanham]

Hello, my name is David and I am a medical student in England. In a few weeks I will be giving a presentation on Intersex in order to raise awareness of intersex and in order to do this well I would like to hear as many peoples opinions as possible within the intersex community.
The two main areas I am interested in knowing more about is firstly the name Intersex, as oppose to hermaphrodite as oppose to DSD. Do people feel there is more stigma attached to any of these names.
The second issue I would like to cover is newborn gender normalizing surgery, what are peoples opinions. I have read up on what the medical profession feel about this but I am very interested to hear what the Intersex community thinks about this procedure.

Any comments would be greatly appreciated as I want to give the other student and Doctors an all around perspective on Intersex.
