The following are a few examples of intersex phobic attitudes:

1. Having problems with the word “intersex” because it has the word “sex” in it.
2. The belief/insistence that intersex bodies are a disorder, syndrome, birth defect, or a condition, even when told that intersex is about having natural bodily variations.
3. The belief/insistence of the medical community to continue their medicalized effort to eradicate intersex people from society by “normalizing” intersex bodies into more typically male or female bodies in order to maintain sex and gender norms.
4. The belief/insistence that we are not lovable unless our bodies are hormonally or surgically fixed to conform to male and female sex and gender “norms”.  Which leads to violent discrimination, acted out through non-consensual genital surgeries on children.
5. The belief/insistence that a person of the female gender can not have a larger clitoris, phalloclitoris, penis or testicles.
6. The belief/insistence that a person of the male gender can not have a vagina, vulva, or ovaries.

11. The belief/insistence that gender is created by our genitals, reproductive system, hormones, and chromosomes when gender is more like our personality and can not be accurately medically determined through medical tests or lab work.
12. The belief/insistence that if we are assigned the wrong gender, then we would have to be considered transgender if we emancipate our true gender later in life.  (This I feel is up to the person, and not to doctors, family or society).
13. Intersex Erasure in the mainstream and alternative media.
14. Intersex Erasure among the LGBT groups, in not wanting inclusion.
15. Regulations against intersex female athletes (with high levels of natural testosterone) which require them to undergo medically unnecessary, “feminizing”, medical treatments such as hormone therapy, in order to compete as women.
16. Feeling that intersex female athletes, who have higher natural testosterone,  are some how breaking the rules, and are in need of punishment or treated as criminals.

18. The assumption that if you are intersex that you must be gay.
19. The assumption that all intersex people are unhealthy and/or mentally affected.
20. The assumption that we must truly be transgender when we are not.  Only some intersex people identify as being both transgender and intersex.  It has to be up to that intersex person to determine this not society.
21. The belief that we are not “real” women or “real” men, due to our intersex bodies, chromosomes, or hormones.
