Have a burning question? Ask our experts your sexual health question!
I am an intersex male 48
I am having EXTREME difficulty getting any healthcare at all for my many
health problems
as soon as I talk about my intersexuality
I get no more care
I need a specialist in intersex healthcare, anywhere in Canada
and a clinic that doesn't discriminate.
I have 3 doctors actually trying to label me a delusional schizophrenic
not a single one of them did a physical exam of my perineum
I can take a picture of my tiny female genitals
they are visible
I was a victim of gender normalization therapy
Please refer me to an intersex specialist
or a lawyer.

Hello,
Thanks for your inquiry, I'm glad you got in touch with us.
I'm very sorry to hear about the dismissive experiences you've had with healthcare providers. You should be able to receive care for health issues unrelated to your intersexuality, without having to discuss your sexuality or genitals with doctors if you do not wish to.
There are clinics in Vancouver, BC that offer health services to gender diverse people. The doctors there work with many people who do not fit into a gender binary (including intersex and trans* people), and would be able to offer non-judgemental care and refer you to an endocrinologist or specialist as needed.
If you live in the Vancouver area, you may be able to access healthcare through Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) Trans* Specialty Care (appointment required). Here is more info:
Knowledgeable and specialized care for transgender and gender diverse persons who reside within the Vancouver Coastal Health Region.
Services offered include: hormone readiness assessment, endocrine (hormone) therapy, hormone injecting supplies, referral for surgical readiness assessment, pre-operative information and education, post-operative wound care, limited counselling
Where: Three Bridges Community Health Centre and Raven Song Community Health Centre
1041
How to book an appointment: No referral is required to book an appointment. You are welcome to book an appointment by contacting our intake nurses at 604-633-4248. The nurse will identify the clinic that is able to see you and provide you with a date and time for an initial consultation appointment.
Who can access service: Those living in the Vancouver Coastal Health Region - Vancouver, Richmond, North Shore, and Coastal Rural. Youth (under 25), refugee claimants, those with complex mental health diagnoses, and individuals with post-operative complications who live outside the VCH Region will be given special consideration regarding access on a case-by-case basis. This may include referral to another health care provider or organization.
If you do not meet the criteria to be seen at VCH, there is another clinic in Vancouver, Catherine White Holoman Wellness Centre, that provides healthcare to gender-diverse people, including people who live outside of the Vancouver area. Here is more information on Catherine White Holman Wellness Centre:
The Catherine White Holman Wellness Centre aims to provide low-barrier wellness services to trans and gender diverse people in a way that is respectful and celebratory of clients’ identity and self-expression. CWHWC is entirely volunteer run and operates 2 days per month, therefore waitlists for doctor or counselling appointments may be quite long. Some of the services they offer are: general health care (STI testing, pelvic exams, hormone support & injection supplies, mental health, education etc), community kitchen (and nutritionist), counselling, legal assistance, yoga classes, an art drop-in group, etc. Please see website for full details on upcoming clinic dates.
When: Sunday Clinics (twice per month) 4-7pm
For info: www.cwhwc.com or email contactus@cwhwc.com or phone 604-442-4352
I'm sorry I cannot offer you any specific recommendations for lawyers, however the CWHWC does provide legal assistance, and Trans* and intersex clients can receive summary advice from a lawyer there. You can try contacting the lawyer by email: lawyer@cwhwc.com..
Here are some other suggestions for other places to find a lawyer through:
- The BC Human Rights Coalition may be able to help with human rights concerns and complaints. Call them at 604-689-8474 or 1-877-689-8474. Collect calls are accepted.
-
-The Community Legal Assistance Society (CLAS) may be able to help with human rights claims, judicial reviews, mental health cases, social assistance, welfare, Canada Pension Plan, and Worksafe BC issues. Call 604-685-3425.
I hope this information is helpful. Please write back if you have any other questions, or call us at 1-800-739-7367

This is what I expected.
Complete crap.
I was laughed at and mocked by the health workers at both the 3
bridges and the Ravensong.
Dr. Sakakibara at the Ravensong LAUGHED
He giggled
and said
oh that's nothing Mr. Taylor.
Patti Zettel at the Ravensong
Snickered and snorted
and said oh that's not intersex Mr. Taylor
She didn't even give me an examination
Dr. Wilson at the Ravensong
told me that there were no specialists and that no specialist would be covered
I want an intersex specialist and a primary care copntact who
understands intersex
When I tried to go to the BC human Rights tribunal
I first went to the Coalition for human rights
as you suggest
I was sent to a Clea Parker
Who basically blocked me, and said oh well you will probably have to
pay for that yourself
the healthcare system won't cover that
and she did nothing for me
You have just repeated
to me
the 3 places that the gov't pretends there are services for me
and there are not
If I was Trans
I would get healthcare
because transgender medicine causes the recipient to become STERILE
As long as I accept STERILIZATION
they will give me a specialist
but there is no healthcare
of any kind
for intersex people
because it is a policy enacted by Vic Toews in the second year of the
Harper Regime
that all gender issue clients have to be on a mental h3ealth label to get care
care that ignores them and their needs
or that sterilizes them.
Thank you
This letter will be presented as evidence to the Supreme Court of
British Columbia
and eventually
to the Supreme Court of Canada
I need a list of INTERSEX SPECIFIC resources
NOT TRANSGENDER resources
Resources in another province are fine
I will have them send me there.
Read about the nazi program this set of policies was modelled on
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_T4
Thanks
for repeating the same bullshit I already spent 8 years going through.

When I asked
The Catherine White Holman Wellness Centre
for assistance and a set of names of intersex specialists
I was mocked
called "gender dysfunctional"
referred to as a disorder of sexual development not INTERSEX
which is the preferred term by people who ARE intersex.
I was mocked
they had NO RESOURCES for me
they are for TRANS people only.

I asked Dr. Wilson for a referral to the BC Centre for Sexual Medicine
I was told no.
They don't do anything at all for intersex people except try to make them TRANS
again
because it sterilizes them
If they had intersex resources Dr. Wilson would have a Duty to Refer
and a Duty to Inform
I have been to 12 doctors and 4 senior nurses
NOT A SINGLE ONE EVEN gave me an examination!!!
None.
I need resources for clinics that you KNOW work with intersex people.
Yes, there are people who are intersex specialists
but the canadian provincial colleges of physicians are making sure
that those resources are unavailable.
There are about 30,000 people per province with intersexuality
This is genocide
I have no money and no phone
I live in complete poverty
I have multiple health issues
but can't get any healthcare
at all
every family physician and clinician actually laughs when I mention
intersexuality
I am being meticulously discriminated against
and there are thousands more people like me
I guess its too expensive for us to have care
like it was for the blacks and gays in the 60's.
ISNA is american.
They have been taken over by a group of doctors who do not believe in
Client Centred Care. Their current stance is to label intersex as
"disorders of sexual development"
Actual intersex people do not like that label
they prefer intersex as the defining term.
As of this point every resource you have offered was already checked
out by myself
I have been trying to get standard primary healthcare for 8 years
I now have 4 doctors attempting to label me a paranoid schizophrenic.
Doesn't anyone remember how gays and lesbiansd where labeled similiar
things up until 1978?
Do you, as a person, even realize that Alberta nad BC had EUGENICS
policies that were created by their provincial gov'ts?
Those policies were supposedly made illegal in 1998.
But there is no enforcement
so they continue the genocide against intersex people.
I am dissappointed that you do not have SPECUFIC NAMES of SPECIFIC
PEOPLE for me to contact regarding this
Clinics in other provinces are ok too
but I do not have a phone
I live on $180 a month
I should have $80 more
but doctors will not fillout any forms for me with my intersexuality on it
They are trying to pretend that I am making it up
I'm able to take a picture of my 1 inche female genitalia
and someone rubbing it makes me curl up into a ball
so It isn't a figment of my imagination
I have multiple orgasms
do you know males that do that?
Hmmm?
It obviously affects my life and health a lot
and I am constantly mocked by the people in VCH.

I am emailing you to get an update on whether or not you have had any
progress in any aspects of my case(s).
I am being docked $40 a month right now because I need to reapply for
my PPMB forms, so I need to interact with a doctor immediately.
I am also in extreme pain, which also will require me to see a doctor
to get some painkillers
but I don't know what you are working on
or if you have even actually accepted me as a client.
Perhaps you could enlighten me.
Thanks.

>>>> Regarding your derisive question:

>>>> sexual developmen) as they've been "renamed".
>>>> 2.
>>>> they will be familiar with many different expresssions of

>>>> The form on me is less common. So doctors with some monor
>>>> experience with visibly enlarged clits or micro penii think they
>>>> understand everything that can develop or occur.
>>>> 3.
>>>> They will have a accurate understanding of the POLICIES of the
>>>> medical profession in the past as well as the present regarding
>>>> Intersex humans, their rights, and treatment. They will understand the
>>>> HISTORY of Intersex in BC and Alberta, where sterilization was common,
>>>> along with a lot of other stupidity.
>>>> 4.
>>>> I would expect that an Intersex specialist will have as much
>>>> specialized study (that's what a specialist is, a doctor who does
>>>> extra study in a specific field is it not?) as a doctor who
>>>> specializes in Transgender medicine, since the two DIFFERENT
>>>> conditions have a great deal of PHYSICAL medical overlap, though they
>>>> differ in psychological scope, since Intersexuality is not a
>>>> psychological condition, it is a mostly, but not always visible,
>>>> different growth or development of genital material. Trangender people
>>>> who are not initialy Intersex (quite a few are at birth) have a
>>>> psychological dsyfunction regarding visible and perceived sex.
>>>> 5.
>>>> They will have a thorough understanding of the outdated clinical
>>>> model of Therapeutic Privelege and how it has been consistently used
>>>> in the framework of Policy to deny Intersex people access to other
>>>> genital/endochrinal/surgical Specialists or counselling that for some
>>>> reason Transgender people can access freely. They should have at least
>>>> a minor understanding of the forms of psychological torment that
>>>> individualsdevlop when exposed to "professionals" who consistently lie
>>>> to them. They might start with a bit of R.D. Laing.
>>>> 6.
>>>> An Intersex specialist will, regardless of specific modern
>>>> practice, understand the historical concept of hermaphroditism, and
>>>> understand that religious hatred of patients with these conditions
>>>> exists and even is, in some countries, law.
>>>> 7.
>>>> An Intersex specialist would understand the danger to their
>>>> patients from possible eugenic/religiously motivated hatred on behalf
>>>> of other non specialised doctors, nurses, technicians, and
>>>> administrators, and would actively maintain a full awareness of the
>>>> bias of other professionals involved in their patient's care. They
>>>> would be aware of any surgeons or radiology technicians who could
>>>> possibly harm or kill their patients using the medical environment to
>>>> cause damaging or lethal exposure to radiation or improper
>>>> medications. An intersex specialist would know the history of intersex
>>>> people in B.C. and A.B. is full of more or less healthy patients
>>>> suddenly dying on operating tables or of complications from minor
>>>> surgeries, or unexplainedly developing leukemia or other radiation
>>>> initiated cancers.
>>>> 8.
>>>> An intersex specialist would actually understand how most
>>>> institutions involved with the care of intersex patients have a long
>>>> history of denying patient records and scans to intersex people who
>>>> request later in life to know exactly what procedures were performed
>>>> on them. They would be able to make more consistent requests and would
>>>> know procedures to acquire those records promptly
>>>> 9.
>>>> An intersex specialist will have specialized knowledge of the
>>>> nerve systems of intersex genitilia so that surgical proceudres or
>>>> reconstructions of their patients will none or minimal loss of feeling
>>>> or function while helping the intersex person to get hormones, surgery
>>>> or other treatments necessary to help nerve systems, which are related
>>>> to pleasure and well being, be properly expressed.
>>>> 10.
>>>> An intersex specialist would know the amount of hostility in
>>>> society and even in the medical profession to people born with
>>>> intersex expressions of genitilia. They would know that the weight
>>>> problems, pheremonal differences, and bone-body structure differences
>>>> that affect many intersex people are visible to society and
>>>> contributes to visible hatred and even assaults. They would understand
>>>> the reasons many intersex people suffer from PTSD, such as being
>>>> beaten, raped, publicly mocked, and would have access to psychological
>>>> resources for victims of gender biased sexual violence.
>>>> 11.
>>>> An intersex specialist would know that suggesting removal of nerve
>>>> systems that cause pleasure is considered mutilation to most people
>>>> with intersexuality. They would also know that most adult intersex
>>>> people have been lied to by a number of authority figures involved in
>>>> their care, both familial and medical, and need a specialist who will

>>> to.
>>>
>>> There are clinics in Vancouver, BC that offer health services to
>>> gender diverse people. The doctors there work with many people who
>>> do not fit into a gender binary (including intersex and trans*
>>> people), and would be able to offer non-judgemental care and refer
>>> you to an endocrinologist or specialist as needed.

>>> healthcare through Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) Trans* Specialty
>>> Care (appointment required). Here is more info:
