Towards an Agency-based Model of Intersexuality, Variations of Sex Characteristics, and DSD Health

ConclusionsAgency-based approaches to the health of intersex people and those with differences of sex development (DSD) focus on bodily autonomy and the cessation of normalising medical interventions until an under-age person can exercise fully informed choice regarding treatment. These approaches can be useful in incorporating the social model's critique of the pathologisation of bodily diversities, whilst supporting the provision of effective healthcare where needed.
