Intersex: Or, being forbidden to say what we were never told we were

In Europe, the intersex movement is extremely new and marked by the intersex paradigm: not to tell who we are even before having been told who are we. We are objects of fantasies and horror, but never are we given the right to talk. Contemporary history is filled with invisibilisation and the tyranny of normativity, but also and especially with forced normalizations destined to cram us in onto sex or the other. To autodetermine ourselves outside of the Man/Woman binary, we need a universal and anti-essentialist definition of gender identity or sexual orientation: the gender archipelago.
