On June 16, Intersex Society of North America (ISNA) announced its research collaboration with Birth Defects Research for Children, Inc. (BDRC), an Orlando, Florida non-profit organization that provides information to parents of children with "birth defects." The goal of the collaboration was to find the link between the presence of synthetic chemicals in the environment and the rate of intersex births. The announcement surprised many intersex activists and supporters, because in the past ISNA had always advocated for the social acceptance of intersex bodies, not the "cause" or "cure/prevention" to eliminate them. Has ISNA changed its mission or lost focus? Click here for the full story.
