“…The reviewed legal literature includes analyses of the intersections between medicine and law in constructing binary sex/gender categories (Kennedy 2016), as well as legal third sex/gender options (Botha 2018;Carpenter 2018b;Carpenter and Jordens 2022;Cossutta 2018;Garland and Travis 2018;Schotel and Mügge 2021;Travis 2015;von Wahl 2021).…”

“…Several of the reviewed authors echo these critiques and debates, discussing critically the role, limitations, and contradictions of legal third sex/gender categories (Botha 2018;Carpenter 2018b;Carpenter and Jordens 2022;Cossutta 2018;Garland and Travis 2022;Schotel and Mügge 2021;Travis 2015;von Wahl 2021). Cabral highlight that "assigning intersex people to a third sex category purifies the standard gender framework of non-standard embodiments, rendering them as an abject 'other', distinguished from endosex men and women" (p. 192) and conclude: "Ultimately, we hope for a future where legal gender markers are irrelevant, or no longer legally required at all" (p. 196).…”

Over the last decades, intersex studies has achieved increasing development as a field of critical knowledge, in tight collaboration with discourses developed by intersex activism and human rights bodies. This paper proposes a self-reflexive review of epistemological perspectives in intersex studies within broader discursive fields, through a thematic analysis and comparative framing analysis. This analysis is based on a narrative literature review of academic contributions, activist declarations, and documents issued by human rights bodies conducted over the last decade as a work-in-progress project. Furthermore, it includes results of a scoping review of recent knowledge production in intersex studies carried out in Scopus within the subject area ‘social sciences’. This paper focuses on the analysis of the following epistemological perspectives: human rights frameworks, legal perspectives and citizenship theories, reflections on biopolitics, medicalization and iatrogenesis, sociology of diagnosis framework, depathologization perspective, respectful health care models, and reflections on epistemological, methodological, and ethical aspects. The literature review raises questions about the existence of specific intersex epistemologies in intersex studies, their interrelation with discourses contributed by intersex activism and human rights bodies, and the opportunities for a contribution of theory making in intersex studies to the human rights protection of intersex people.
