2015 was a historic year for LGBT rights in Ireland. The introduction of marriage equality and gender recognition reflected the socio acceptance of difference in our society. However, in taking these strides forward the rights of intersex people, in particular intersex children, were neglected. The scheme established under the Gender Recognition Act 2015 enables movement between legally recognised gender as either male or female. While this is to be welcomed, it does entrench these categories as the only acceptable ones. Consequently, it implicitly increases pressure on parents to consent to medically unnecessary gender conformation surgeries on their children with intersex variations. Such procedures have been repeatedly condemned by UN human rights agencies. This chapter examines the recent changes in the legal landscape and interrogates whether it might be possible to amend the law to account for the lived experience of intersex people.
