Site description: This paper discusses the surgical and medical management of intersexed children in terms of a relationship of violence in which the intersexed infants/children are completely disenfranchised, it highlights the similarities between traditional practises of female genital mutilation and genital 'reconstructive surgery', fleshes out tensions around complicity in the genital mutilation of intersexed infants and children, and views homophobia as a motivating factor in the management of intersexed bodies.
