California Bill Would Ban Early Surgery to ‘Fix’ Intersex Children (SF Chronicle – Nov 8)

“David Cameron Strachan never knew he had an extra female X chromosome until a doctor told him at age 29….  Now 72 and a longtime advocate for others who are intersex — people whose sex anatomy doesn’t fit typical definitions of female or male — Strachan backs a bill by Democratic state Sen. Scott Wiener of San Francisco that would make California the first state to outlaw operations on young children to ‘normalize’ their genitalia.”
