Género DynamiX (GDX) and a cohort of other trans organisations lodged an appeal with the South African Parliament on 13 November 2012 with regard to the ongoing failure to implement the Alteration of Sex Description and Sex Status Act, Act 49 of 2003.
Sibusiso (full name excluded for safety reasons), GDX’s Director at the time, and intersex activist Sally Gross, argued that applicants were unable to access medical facilities, apply for jobs, unable to get their academic results and could not vote, they faced difficulty in travelling and allegations of fraud. Some applications had been turned down without reasons given and in some instances applicants were forced to go through a surgery operation, sterilisation and forced divorce. Ler mais.
