Hearing on operations on children with variations in physical sex characteristics on 21 June 2018 in Hamburg

On Thursday, 21 June 2018 there will be a public hearing on operations on children with variations in physical sex characteristics (at 5pm in Hamburg City Hall, Room 151). The study “Zur Aktualität kosmetischer Operationen “uneindeutiger” Genitalien im Kindesalter”   [“On the relevance of cosmetic surgery on ꞌambiguousꞌ genitalia in childhood”] by Ulrike Klöppel (2016) shows that the frequency of such procedures in Germany seems to have remained relatively stable since 2005. The hearing with the respondents relates to the major interpellation from the political party die LINKEN, see Publication 21/9670.
