Zwischengeschlecht (literally "between sexes") is a human rights advocacy group campaigning on intersex bodily autonomy issues.
The group demonstrates outside medical events where surgical interventions are discussed or performed,[1] engages with the media, and participates in consultations with human rights institutions.
[4] The organization has previously highlighted evasive government statements to UN Treaty Bodies that conflate intersex, transgender and LGBT issues, instead of addressing harmful practices on infants.
[5] Zwischengeschlecht have described media coverage of moves to create a third gender classification as "silly season fantasies"; the main goal is to stop intersex genital mutilations.
Zwischengeschlecht participated in the third International Intersex Forum in late 2013,[11] and also contributed to a joint statement to the United Nations Human Rights Council on 11 March 2014.
