Date: Wed, 3 Sep 1997 11:39:47 -0700 From: Cheryl Chase Subject: ABC Prime Time Live to discuss intersexuality ABC Prime Time Live will run a story on intersexuality Wed 3 September 1997 10 PM About one in two thousand children is born "queer" -- with genitals which alarm parents and doctors, and raise the spectre that the child may well grow up homosexual. Since the late 1950s, it has been standard practice to surgically "normalize" these children, often via clitorectomy, and to mislead parents and patient about what has been done. Intersexuals are now organizing to oppose this medical abuse, and their activism has garnered positive attention in recent months from Newsweek, New York Times, and NBC Dateline. How will ABC present the issue? ###
