Psychosocial approaches and discursive gaps in intersex healthcare: findings from an Israeli-German action research study.

We describe how the project's goals, processes and outcomes created educational material on intersex which uses positive language, explores intersex in the Jewish tradition, improves the support offered to parents of intersex children, and examines cross-cultural differences that arose in the encounters between the Israeli and German participants. The analysis points to sociocultural themes that reflect intersex people's current status in Israel and Germany. Implications regarding the implementation of similar projects in other countries are discussed. PMID: 32935631 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
