Sumario:Putting the ethical tools of philosophy to work, Ellen K. Feder seeks to clarify how we should understand ""the problem"" of intersex. Adults often report that medical interventions they underwent as children to ""correct"" atypical sex anatomies caused them physical and psychological harm.
