From Medical Diagnosis to Legal Personhood: The Unfinished Journey to Legal Consciousness for Intersex Australians.

This article explores the intersex experience in Australian law and society through the lens of hermeneutical (in)justice -- a form of injustice in knowing that prevents a person from making sense of their own lived experience due to a lacuna in social understanding. It makes an original contribution to legal scholarship first by tracking the advances towards understanding reflected in recent legal and social reform; second by highlighting the shortcomings of these advances; and third by examining new questions and possibilities for moving forward, including through the deliberate creation of a stronger sense of shared identity between different intersex community sub-groups.
