The closure appears to have been made without consultation or notice to those that have suported this organisation over the years. I was staggered to learn the founder Cheryl Chase is no more than a psudonym . The worst of this is that ISNA and its new incarnation support a pathologising "disorder " description for those of us who are different. Weirdly the new term "disorders of sexual developement " applies to some conditions such as Congenital adrenal hyperplasia where in the majority of cases there are no problems with sex or reproduction, and does the light tap dance of denial around XY carriers of this adrenal gland problem. Others will take up the fight against discrimination against and medicalisation of , intersex lives, I am sure This represents an absolute betrayal to those that have suported the ISNA over the years.
