[7][8] Morgan Carpenter helped found Intersex Human Rights Australia[4] and became president of the organisation in September 2013.

[19] He speaks out against stigma,[20] and has spoken out on issues affecting women purported to have intersex traits in competitive sport.

[2] Describing the flag for Intersex Human Rights Australia, Carpenter wrote: The circle is unbroken and unornamented, symbolising wholeness and completeness, and our potentialities.

We are still fighting for bodily autonomy and genital integrity, and this symbolises the right to be who and how we want to be.With recognition of non-binary gender identities in Australian regulations, and German birth certificates, Carpenter expressed concern that such developments are "not a solution" to the needs of intersex people.

[34] In an article on the Yogyakarta Principles and relationships between intersex and LGBT populations, Carpenter stresses inadequacies and "dangerous" consequences from framing intersex as a sexual orientation or gender identity issue, inviting legislative enactment of protections on grounds of sex characteristics.
