From the Age of Gonads to the Age of Consent

From the Age of Gonads to the Age of Consent

Alice Dreger, “A History of Intersexuality, from the Age of Gonads to the Age of Consent” in the Journal of Clinical Ethics, vol. 9, no. 4 [Winter 1998], pp. 345-355.

I wrote this article for the special issue on intersex I edited for the Journal of Clinical Ethics. That special issue formed the basis for the anthology I edited called Intersex in the Age of Ethics.

If you’re looking for a short overview of intersex history, see the FAQ I wrote (uncredited) for ISNA called What’s the History Behind the Intersex Rights Movement?
