  • Abstract:
  • This reflective paper examines Suzanne J. Kessler’s seminal article, The Medical Construction of Gender: Case Management of Intersexed Infants, in the context of the Kerala High Court’s recent judgment regulating sex-selective surgeries. It explores the ethical, legal, and societal implications of gender assignment surgeries on intersex infants, emphasizing bodily autonomy, informed consent, and constitutional rights under Articles 14, 19, and 21. The paper juxtaposes medical justifications with intersex rights advocacy, ultimately advocating for regulation through multidisciplinary committees. The discussion promotes a rights-based, patient-centered approach, recognizing intersexuality as a natural biological variation rather than a condition requiring immediate surgical intervention.
