ABSTRACT
In the 1990s, transgender and intersex youth were viewed as a conglomerate minority and referred to in the social activism and academic literature using terms such as ‘sex and gender diversity’. Since 2010, however, and within the context of the global push for inclusion and human rights, greater effort has been made to distinguish between ‘transgender and gender diverse’ youth and ‘intersex’ youth. This change is based on research evidence showing the two groups to have distinct social and medical needs. This chapter analyses the different experiences these two groups have had and how this impacts sexual citizenship claims.
