正如已經提及的那樣，在20世紀已經過去的數十年裏，各種各樣的性少數社團開始組織起來並且訴求他們長期以來被回絕的民事權利。此外，隨著互聯網時代的到來，他們找到了一個表達他們呼聲的暫新而十分有效率的手段。同時，科學家及其研究所開始變得更為周詳了。例如，就有關中間性的問題，新的研究結果能夠證明中間性是更為普遍了和比以往所覺察到的更加多樣化了，它由寬泛的異常生理症狀的性象譜系所組成，這些症狀則需要進行個案的具體對待。
集中所有這些趨勢的結果，即性少數社團的呼聲、“互聯網的電子資訊革命”和科學的進步，第一個專門宣導和支持中間性的社團早在1990年代就已經成立，這個社團叫：北美中間性社團(The Intersex Society of North America
，ISNA；見左上角的圖示——譯者注)。這個社團與其他國家的類似社團開始反抗自鳴得意的醫學和法律體制。它們向傳統的醫學假說挑戰，並且不僅成功地提升了醫生對中間性的權益認識，也提高了公眾對它的認識水準。基於已經成就的有利條件，中間性權利運動正在訴求更加普世的性權利——一個單純而簡單的最終目標：對所有人的自主選擇、終止歧視和完整的民事權利，不管他們的外部或內部性器官的解剖形態結構如何，他們在民事權利方面一律平等。 |

As already mentioned, in the last decades of the 20th century, various sexual minorities began
to organize and to demand their long-denied civil rights. Moreover, with the arrival of the internet, they found a new, very effective tool for conveying their message. At the same time, scientists and their research instruments became more sophisticated. With regard to intersexuality, for example, new studies were able to demonstrate that it was more common and more varied than previously suspected. In fact, it consisted of a wide spectrum of atypical physical conditions that required individual approaches.
As a result of these converging trends - minority self-organization, the “electronic revolution”, and scientific progress - the first specific advocacy and support group was founded in the early 1990s:
The Intersex Society of North America (ISNA). This and similar groups in other countries began to confront a complacent medical and legal establishment. They challenged traditional medical assumptions and succeeded in raising the consciousness not only of many doctors, but also of the general public. Building on already available, more general sexual rights declarations,
the intersex rights movement is pursuing a simple ultimate goal: Self-determination, an end to discrimination, and full civil rights for all people without regard to the shape of their external or internal sex organs. |
