正如已经提及的那样，在20世纪已经过去的数十年里，各种各样的性少数社团开始组织起来并且诉求他们长期以来被回绝的民事权利。此外，随着互联网时代的到来，他们找到了一个表达他们呼声的暂新而十分有效率的手段。同时，科学家及其研究所开始变得更为周详了。例如，就有关中间性的问题，新的研究结果能够证明中间性是更为普遍了和比以往所觉察到的更加多样化了，它由宽泛的异常生理症状的性象谱系所组成，这些症状则需要进行个案的具体对待。
集中所有这些趋势的结果，即性少数社团的呼声、“互联网的电子信息革命”和科学的进步，第一个专门倡导和支持中间性的社团早在1990年代就已经成立，这个社团叫：北美中间性社团(The Intersex Society of North America
，ISNA；见左上角的图标——译者注)。这个社团与其它国家的类似社团开始反抗自鸣得意的医学和法律体制。它们向传统的医学假说挑战，并且不仅成功地提升了医生对中间性的权益认识，也提高了公众对它的认识水平。基于已经成就的有利条件，中间性权利运动正在诉求更加普世的性权利——一个单纯而简单的最终目标：对所有人的自主选择、终止歧视和完整的民事权利，不管他们的外部或内部性器官的解剖形态结构如何，他们在民事权利方面一律平等。 |

As already mentioned, in the last decades of the 20th century, various sexual minorities began
to organize and to demand their long-denied civil rights. Moreover, with the arrival of the internet, they found a new, very effective tool for conveying their message. At the same time, scientists and their research instruments became more sophisticated. With regard to intersexuality, for example, new studies were able to demonstrate that it was more common and more varied than previously suspected. In fact, it consisted of a wide spectrum of atypical physical conditions that required individual approaches.
As a result of these converging trends - minority self-organization, the “electronic revolution”, and scientific progress - the first specific advocacy and support group was founded in the early 1990s:
The Intersex Society of North America (ISNA). This and similar groups in other countries began to confront a complacent medical and legal establishment. They challenged traditional medical assumptions and succeeded in raising the consciousness not only of many doctors, but also of the general public. Building on already available, more general sexual rights declarations,
the intersex rights movement is pursuing a simple ultimate goal: Self-determination, an end to discrimination, and full civil rights for all people without regard to the shape of their external or internal sex organs. |
