We are delighted to have you with us as we celebrate GLMA’s 30th Anniversary! This has been an exciting year for GLMA, with many changes. In addition to a big move from San Francisco to our new home in Washington, DC, we have revamped our membership structure to encourage more healthcare providers to support GLMA’s mission by joining the organization. If you’re not yet a member, we hope you’ll join our community by the end of the conference. Ours is the world’s largest conference for health professionals caring for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender persons – and for health professionals who are LGBT persons themselves. Indeed, the opportunities for networking and reunions with old colleagues and friends are a major part of GLMA’s Annual Conference. There’s also so much to see and do in “Hotlanta”! Take a behind-the-scenes tour of CNN’s headquarters, visit the Fernbank Museum of Natural History or the King Center for Non-Violent Social Change and—for Gone with the Wind fans—visit the home of author Margaret Mitchell. With numerous restaurants by Top Chefs, Atlanta is a foodie paradise. While there is much to see, do and eat in Atlanta, our Education Committee has compiled a conference program that will be sure to keep your attention inside our funky and fabulous conference hotel! Many of our plenary and workshop sessions will address the intersection of race and ethnicity with issues of sexual orientation and gender identity. This year’s program includes a unique opportunity to hear Surgeons General Regina Benjamin and Joycelyn Elders. We are thrilled to have comedian Kate Clinton as our featured entertainment for this year’s Annual Gala Banquet at the historic Fox Theater. It will be an evening you will be sure to remember! Once again, welcome to Atlanta! We are so glad you have chosen to join us for this educational program and social time together. Rebecca Allison, MD President, Board of Directors Gay & Lesbian Medical Association 2011 7 GLMA Annual Conference • Program of Events Welcome from the Education Committee Chair Dear Conference Attendees, On behalf of the Education Committee, I would like to welcome you to the 29th Annual Conference of the Gay & Lesbian Medical Association. This year’s conference will place special emphasis on the dynamic intersections of sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, race, ethnicity and HIV status, and their influence on health disparities. While many attendees primarily work in one specific area, we have intentionally tried to create opportunities for communication between community silos and for each of us to enhance our knowledge of issues outside of our expertise. Our overarching goal for this conference is to move forward an ambitious LGBT health agenda and tackle important educational content with a spirit of collegiality, relaxation and fun! We aim to make this conference feel good and nurturing to your spirit as it challenges your mind. In addition to the rich educational offerings, there are daily opportunities for professional and social networking. We want all conference attendees to leave Atlanta renewed, energized and ready to carry forward a multi- cultural, LGBT heath movement. Together we can create a conference that welcomes all stakeholders in achieving LGBT healthcare equality, including healthcare providers, researchers, academics, policy-makers, activists, community health volunteers and ordinary LGBT people navigating their way through complicated systems of healthcare and

    Meyers Final Note (Do Not Delete) 5/24/2019 1:55 PM “Tragic and Glorious Pages”: The Evolution of Intersex Rights in Russia and Reframing Law and Tradition to Advance Reform MAGGIE J. MEYERS* I. INTRODUCTION “Despite all the achievements of civilization, the human being is still one of the most vulnerable creatures on earth.” - Vladimir Putin1 “You are alone, you are not normal”; that is how Aleksander Berezkin learned he was intersex.2 Born in 1984 in Novokuznetsk—a steel-producing town in southwestern Siberia, not unlike Pittsburgh in terms of climate and local economy3—Aleksander lived the life of an ordinary boy until his adolescence, when puberty failed to arrive. “When I was at school, my body looked visibly different from other teenagers,” Aleksander recalled.4 “I had no muscles . [n]o hair on the face. I was skinny and tall. With narrow shoulders and wide hips. Breast glands were enlarged. Sometimes people took me for a girl. I have been bullied and humiliated.”5 Desperate for answers and relief from the merciless taunting and social ostracism, at the age of seventeen Aleksander submitted to a genetic test that revealed the truth. While typical males have the chromosomes XY, Aleksander’s were XXY; he was diagnosed with a variation of Klinefelter syndrome, in which an extra X chromosome inhibits the body’s production of testosterone and leads to the development of stereotypically feminine traits in males.6 But Aleksander received little comfort from his intersex diagnosis, nor Copyright © 2019 by Maggie J.

Parents and children are misinformed, kept in the dark, sworn to secrecy, kept isolated and denied appropriate support. Argentina is thus in breach of its obligations under CRC to (a) take effective legislative, administrative, judicial or other measures to prevent harmful practices on intersex children causing severe mental and physical pain and suffering of the persons concerned, and (b) ensure access to redress and justice, including fair and adequate compensation and as full as possible rehabilitation for victims, as stipulated in CRC art.

  • MNC 20181119 Faith
    19 November 2018 Dear Committee, IHRA submission to the inquiry on legislative exemptions that allow faith-based educational institutions to discriminate against students, teachers and staff Intersex Human Rights Australia (IHRA) is a a Public Benevolent Institution that promotes the human rights (including the bodily integrity) of people born with intersex variations. We were formerly known as Organisation Intersex International Australia. We currently contract our two co-executive directors on a part-time basis, supported by foreign philanthropic funding. Persons born with intersex variations are not currently subject to religious exemptions at federal level in the same manner as persons with minority sexual orientations and gender identities, and the religious freedoms inquiry appears to recommend that jurisdictions “abolish any exemptions to anti-discrimination laws that provide for discrimination by religious schools” on grounds of, inter alia, intersex status,1 however, this is not the case at a state and territory level, nor in leaked proposals for federal reform. To this end, and also in solidarity with LGBT people, we are pleased to make a brief contribution to this inquiry. We note that this submission is made brief due to the challenges imposed by a significant number of other ongoing inquiries at present, including inquiries: into forced and coercive medical practices by the Australian Human Rights Commission,2 the welfare jurisdiction of the Family Law Act by the Australian Law Reform Commission,3 a UN Committee on the 1 See recommendation 6 in Fairfax Media. 2018. ‘Read the Full 20 Recommendations from the Religious Freedom Review’.
