Founded originally as OII-USA in 2010 by intersex Latina activist Hida Viloria, ICE is a multi-gendered, multi-orientation, multi-racial NGO working for the human rights of intersex people, particularly the rights to bodily integrity, self-determination, legal recognition, and de-pathologization of intersex traits and non-binary identities in medicine and society. ICE strives to create a world where all intersex people are viewed and treated equally by: providing peer support and rights-based information to intersex individuals; advocating for legal recognition and protection from discrimination; and providing information about the goals of the intersex advocacy community and the life experiences of intersex people from diverse communities to all those working with or allied to intersex people. In 2013, the group published the groundbreaking resource “Your Beautiful Child: Information for Parents,” a resource for parents of children born with variations of sex anatomy that uses equality-based, non-stigmatizing language. The resource is being used by health care professionals throughout the U.S. and has been adapted for distribution throughout Australia.
