SF Bay Area Dr. Ian Aaronson at American Urological Association
American Urological Association is holding its annual meting at the Moscone Center in San Francisco this May 8-13. Of particular interest to intersex activists and supporters is a presentation by Dr. Ian Aaronson from Medical University of South Carolina titled "Gender Reassignment: Yea or Nay?" which will take place on May 9 at 10:40am.
In 1999, Dr. Aaronson wrote "to advocate nonintervention in intersex infants until they are old enough to make up their own minds about what gender they want to be signifies a return to the 'dark ages' of intersex management, which has given rise to a host of psychological cripples," and as of late he has been conducting a follow-up study on intersex patients' psychological and sexual well-being after surgery. He also served as a consultant to the American Academy of Pediatrics when it published the treatment guidelines for intersex conditions in 2000.
