Europe "Intersex: From Genes to Gender" International Symposium in Germany
"Intersex: From Genes to Gender" is an international symposium on intersex medicine and science to be held in L?eck, Germany this April 1-3. The list of speakers include some of the major scholars in the field of intersex medicine, but does not seem to include doctors researching on the long-term consequences of intersex surgeries. Anyway, we don't have very much information about this, so if you know anything or are attending, give us a note.
