#second country in the world to ban igm!!!!!
intersex-support · 3 years
Text
Germany just outlawed intersex genital mutilation throughout the country! 
The law explicitly prohibits intersex surgery that is for cosmetic reasons, although it still does allow some types of intersex surgery at birth that are deemed medically necessary. It’s defintely not a perfect law yet and there’s still work to go, but this is an AMAZING win and I’m so inspired by the intersex groups in Germany who have been working tirelessly to get this law passed.
