Removal of the "Advancing Health Equity for Intersex Individuals" Document

Recent executive orders from the Trump administration have led to the removal of the Advancing Health Equity for Intersex Individuals document from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services website.

This document was a crucial step in recognizing the healthcare needs of intersex individuals. It provided guidelines to improve access to care, combat medical discrimination, and promote evidence-based practices grounded in human rights. Its removal represents a concerning setback for health equity and intersex rights.
