SUMMARY
In this video, Laci Green talks about the concept about biological sex and how intersex fits into the picture. The second part of the video discusses the benefits and drawbacks of categories as well as the ways in which biological sex categories are socially constructed. The third section discusses nonconsensual medical procedures that attempt to fit intersex babies into the sex binary and why this is an inadvisable practice. The fourth section discusses why intersex makes people uncomfortable and offers a call to action for parents and potential parents.
