The Organisation Intersex International is a non-profit organisation incorporated in the Province of Quebec, Canada. The organisation was founded in 2003 by Curtis Hinkle and is a decentralised network established to give voice to intersex people both outside and inside the USA, those speaking languages other than just English, and people who do not fit the medicalised categories of disorder promoted by some other intersex groups. It is for people born with bodies which have atypical sex characteristics. OII resists all efforts to make intersex invisible, including genital mutilation, medicalisation and normalisation without consent and offers another face to intersex lives and experience by highlighting the richness and diversity of intersex identities and cultures.
