Interseks
Interseks adalah variasi karakteristik kelamin (termasuk kromosom, gonad, dan alat kelamin) yang membuat seseorang tidak dapat diidentifikasi sebagai laki-laki atau perempuan. Variasi ini meliputi ambiguitas jenis kelamin dan kombinasi genotip kromosom dan fenotip seksual selain XY (laki-laki) dan XX (perempuan).[1][2] Orang-orang interseks sebelumnya dianggap hermafrodit, tetapi istilah ini sudah tidak digunakan lagi karena dianggap menyesatkan dan memberi stigma, sehingga istilah ini digunakan untuk spesies lain.
Beberapa bayi dan anak interseks yang memiliki jenis kelamin ambigu dioperasi atau diberi terapi hormon agar dapat menjadi laki-laki atau perempuan. Namun, praktik ini kontroversial karena tidak ada bukti bahwa praktik tersebut berdampak positif.[3] Penelitian pada akhir abad ke-20 telah menghasilkan konsensus bahwa tubuh interseks merupakan tubuh yang normal, walaupun memang relatif langka.[4]
Isu operasi atau terapi paksa mulai dianggap sebagai pelanggaran hak asasi manusia oleh organisasi-organisasi hak asasi manusia nasional dan internasional.[5][6][7][8] Organisasi interseks juga telah mengeluarkan pernyataan-pernyataan gabungan dalam Forum Interseks Internasional terkait dengan hal ini. Pada April 2015, Malta menjadi negara pertama yang melarang intervensi medis non-konsensual yang mengubah anatomi seks orang-orang interseks.[9][10]
Orang-orang interseks memiliki berbagai identitas gender. Sebagian besar menganggap dirinya sebagai laki-laki atau perempuan, sementara beberapa mungkin merasa tidak sepenuhnya laki-laki atau perempuan. Beberapa orang interseks dibesarkan sebagai laki-laki atau perempuan tetapi kemudian merasa identitas gendernya berbeda.[1][2][11][12]
