2015 MALTA DECLARATION:

To put an end to mutilating and 'normalising' practices such as genital surgeries, psychological and other medical treatments through legislative and other means. Intersex people must be empowered to make their own decisions affecting own bodily integrity, physical autonomy and self-determination.

To put an end to preimplantation genetic diagnosis, pre-natal screening and treatment, and selective abortion of intersex foetuses.

To put an end to infanticide and killings of intersex people.

To put an end to non-consensual sterilisation of intersex people.

To depathologise variations in sex characteristics in medical guidelines, protocols and classifications, such as the World Health Organization's International Classification of Diseases.

To register intersex children as females or males, with the awareness that, like all people, they may grow up to identify with a different sex or gender.

To ensure that sex or gender classifications are amendable through a simple administrative procedure at the request of the individuals concerned. All adults and capable minors should be able to choose between female (F), male (M), non-binary or multiple options. In the future, as with race or religion, sex or gender should not be a category on birth certificates or identification documents for anybody.

To raise awareness around intersex issues and the rights of intersex people in society at large.
