Intersex - One out of every two thousand births presents parents with a sudden gender dilemma. A tradition of secrecy means most parents are totally unprepared.

Dreger, Ph.D. Affiliations: Associate Professor of Science and Technology Studies, Michigan State University Chair of the Board of Directors, Intersex Society of North America.

Bodies Like Ours - seeks to end the shame and secrecy that surrounds people born with atypical genitals through community and peer support. Our goals are to make it okay to be born different and to recognize that we are not defined by what is between our legs. Instead, we seek to be defined by what makes us whole as human beings--our soul, our gender, and our presence.

GenderPAC - works to change public attitudes and raise public awareness of discrimination and violence caused by gender stereotypes.
