Abstract

The article argues that the legal system's enforcement of binary sex classification perpetuates harm against intersex individuals by mandating sex assignment at birth and enabling non-consensual medical interventions. It proposes removing sex designation from birth certificates to allow individuals to self-identify their sex later in life, promoting autonomy and reducing harm.
