Conclusion

Reimagining our Theoretical and Practical Future

After learning so much about the intersex community and the multilayered marginalizations they experience, it’s important to highlight some interdisciplinary theory that may be helpful when exploring the next steps both the general public and the intersex/queer community can take. Although no article is explicitly related to intersexuality, the points each make are still relevant reminders for what needs to be considered when making an effective, intersectional movement.
