THE European Parliament welcomes recent UN developments on sexual orientation and gender identity.

Being born intersex is also not a mental illness nor a biological illness or disorder but simply a range of natural biological variations in sex.

Intersex people do not have equality, human rights or protection against discrimination in any part of the world still, except partially in South Africa – intersex people are included in a sex discrimination act there - and Colombia – where intersex genital mutilation (IGM) is banned.
