Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Intersex people are people who are born with biological sex characteristics that don't match the conventional dichotomy of men and women. Given society's lack of capacity to handle identities that deviate from the norm, Doctors will often assign a gender to intersex people at birth and engage in genital reconstruction surgeries so the person's body more closely matches their assigned gender without consent. Often times intersex people won't even know they're intersex for years, if ever at all. - Go Back?
