Abstract

In this article, we analyze the systemic violence that the juridical system exerts on intersex people, by situating them in what has been proposed as a bio-state of exception. This naturalizes sexual binarism and imposes it by means of the suspension of rights. To approach this situation, we propose the consideration of non-consensual medical treatments against intersex people as analogous to crimes against humanity and the need to build a right to self-determination of bodies.
