In a year which saw several positive developments with regard to protection of intersex human rights, it was extremely encouraging for us to receive the support of participants who showed interest to engage on this critical issue. The conference was attended by significant number of intersex persons from India and abroad. We were delighted to host parents of intersex infants and children in the conference. The attendees were also joined by few intersex persons who are not open about their identity. Srishti Madurai received over 200 registration applications through the Google form. Owing to privacy and safety concerns of few intersex infants/parents, participants and speakers, we were compelled to restrict the number of participants to 60. Consequently, and regrettably, some applicants who wished to attend from different parts of the country could not participate. From our end, we made the best possible effort to accommodate as many participants as possible. We hope that this conference marks a new chapter in the journey of intersex human rights in India. At Srishti Madurai, we will continue our efforts with renewed energy to create a space for intersex people, despite the many barriers before us.

The decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Chand’s favour demonstrates that the International Association of Athletics Federations, despite being the duly authorized regulator of international athletics competition, does not operate unconstrained in policing the boundaries of sex and gender, particularly when it does so in a discriminatory manner.

The previous year she had been stripped of the silver medal she won in the 800 metres at the Asian Games. The reason: she had failed a gender test. 1 It is not known if the two events were linked but two years later the issue of gender testing would be given greater prominence following the victory of the South African Caster Semenya in the women’s 800 metres at the 2009 World Athletics Championships in Berlin. As questions were raised over the exact status of her sex, people asked whether it was ‘fair’ that she should be competing against other female athletes. It is ironic, as Vanessa Heggie has pointed out, that whereas there are probably hundreds of genetic variations that lead to ‘unfair’ advantages in sport, ‘only those associated with gender are used to exclude or disqualify athletes’.

A key architect of such regulations—a former official with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and World Athletics—later went on to characterize previous testing regimes as a “systematic violation for which the world of sport must take respon- sibility,” and “a decades-long example of sexual harassment of sexual abuse within sport [and] a flagrant abuse.”13 The earliest attempts at “sex testing” that sports authorities instituted in the 1940s for the purposes of eligibility were informal and ad hoc, but by the 1960s, sports governing bodies such as the IAAF and the IOC began system- atic mandatory testing of all women athletes based on rumors that some women “were more male than female,” resulting in “unfair competition for ‘real’ women.”14 There have never been analogous regulations for men.

Grounded in a transfeminist perspective, narrative analysis was used to tell the story of the athlete’s experiences in life and in sport. The analysis revealed several themes, which are told through a series of five vignettes. The storytelling approach illustrates how the athlete negotiates the terrain between sex and gender and how her intersex condition has affected more than just her sporting experience.
