Guide to the Intersex Society Of North America Teaching Kit, 1997-2001

The Intersex Society of North America is a human rights organization devoted to systemic change to end shame, secrecy, and unwanted genital surgeries for people born with atypical sex anatomy.

Advertised as "a new teaching kit designed for instructors of college-level Women's Gender and Queer Studes and realted fields," this packet distributed by the Intersex Society of North America includes: 5 buttons on intersex political themes; a 35 minute VHS video documentary, "Hermaphrodites Speak!" created by ISNA in 1997; a list of suggested guidelines for non-intersex people writing about intersexuality; "Notes on the Treatment of Intersex"; the May 2001 issues of ISNA NEWS; a special issue of the journal CHRYSALIS, vol. 2, no. 5; a pamphlet, "Introduction to Intersexuality and Intersex Activism: A Starting Point for Feminist, Queer & Trans Activists," by the Intersex Initiative Portland/ Survivor Project; and a 16 page booklet, "Teaching Intersex Issues: A Guide for Teachers in Women's, Gender & Queer Studies," that analyzes the problematic ways in which the topic has been addressed and that provides a bibliography and sample course unit on intersex issues.
