The article "Intersex human rights abuses are rooted in European colonization, scientific and medical racism, and the oppression of African people" discusses the historical and contemporary discrimination faced by intersex individuals, particularly in Africa. The author argues that previous scholarship on intersex has focused primarily on white individuals in Europe and North America, neglecting the experiences of intersex people of color. The article explores the origins of intersexphobia and medicalization of intersex in the context of European colonization and scientific racism. It also highlights the activism and efforts to decolonize intersex in Africa. The article provides a valuable perspective on intersex discrimination and would be useful for researchers and students interested in intersex studies and the impact of colonialism and racism on marginalized communities.
