In the Australian, Adam Creighton checked Labors 211 page statement of Labors beliefs, values and program for government and found 63 mentions of the I in LGBTI, which stands for Intersex.

Andre Bolt asked blog post ‘New Labor : Sex Crazed’, ‘Why is the oldest political party in Australia so obsessed with marginalised elitist rubbish? Highlighting with intersex being mentioned 63 times, that “wealth” is mentioned 61 times and “inequality” is mentioned 47.

Siting that, and I quote, ‘Whatever intersex means — or is — it’s also far more important than “ownership” which gets 12 mentions, “production” which gets 18 and “distribution” which gets 10.

Well Adam Creighton and Andrew Bolt, if you didn’t know, Intersex

Is a general term used for a variety of conditions in which a person is born with a reproductive or sexual anatomy that doesn’t fit the typical definitions of male and female.

They can be born with several variations in sex characteristics including chromosomes, gonads, sex hormones, or genitals, and as such, means things aren’t so cut and dry when giving the intersex community the support it needs, but don’t worry, because the Australian and New Zealand intersex community are making it easier for you to understand and satnd with them, thanks to the Darlington Statement.

Which sets out the priorities and calls by the intersex human rights movement in Australia and Dean Arcuri speaks to Tony Briffa from Intersex Human Rights Australia about how we as allies, can affirm and stand behind the statement, and our intersex community.
