Researchers perform new study on intersex experience
Intersex and Disorders of Sex Development (DSD) are two terms used to describe those born with sex characteristics (i.e., chromosomes, gonads, genitals) that do not fit the typical definitions of male or female bodies. It is estimated that one out of every 2 000 people is born with invisible or visible intersex/DSD traits.
But for many, intersex/DSD is less about anatomy and more about experience. “For me, intersex refers to the lived experience of the sociocultural consequences of being born with a body that does not fit within the normative definitions of ‘man’ and ‘woman’,” says noted human rights activist Miriam van der Have.

In a statement released this week, Birmingham City said its pre-registration Master’s degree in Adult Nursing would launch at the beginning of next month.
The course is open to applicants who already have a relevant health, science and social science degree plus appropriate work experience in a healthcare setting.
Most of the theory is delivered online with practical skills training taking place both on campus and in hospitals and other healthcare settings, said the university.
It noted that the degree could be completed in two years to appeal to those who, for reasons such as location, family, work or other commitments, could not commit to the usual three-year course.

David Cameron welcomes Hamad bin Khalifa, the King of Bahrain, to Downing Street on August 6th 2013.
Following the successful uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt, mass protests were spreading across the Middle East in February 2011. Bahrain, which had seen periodic uprisings against the ruling Al Khalifa monarchy that has governed the country with an iron fist for over 200 years and long oppressed its majority Shia population, was no exception.
Witnessing the electric scenes coming out of Tahrir Square, Bahraini organisers called a protest in solidarity with Egypt on the 4 February and a Day of Rage on 14 February. The date had been chosen to coincide with the ten year anniversary of the âNational Action Charterâ which were supposed to be a series of reforms agreed by referendum that had put an end to the last uprising â and that had completely failed to materialise.
