    Description

    VIMÖ (Verein Intergeschlechtlicher Menschen Österreich) is the Austrian national association of intersex people. We are a member organisation Organisation Intersex International (OII) and their branch OII Europe. We work for political and social change to improve the situation of intersex people in Austria. For that reason we are part of the Plattform Intersex Österreich, a networking platform consisting of pedagogic, therapeutic, journalistic, and legal experts.

    With our help and information center VARGES we offer peer support for intersex people and their families and educational trainings for professionals and organisations. We want intersex to be no longer taboo and pathologized – we work for an inter*inclusive world.

     

    Intergeschlechtlichkeit ist nach wie vor ein Tabuthema in unserer Gesellschaft – mit all den negativen Konsequenzen für die Betroffenen und deren Angehörige. Es gibt nur sehr unzureichende professionelle Betreuung – besonders auf psychosozialer und Peer-Ebene. Im medizinischen Bereich gilt Intergeschlechtlichkeit mehrheitlich immer noch als zu behandelnde Krankheit oder Störung.

    Aber Intergeschlechtlichkeit ist kein medizinisches Problem! Stattdessen ist Interfeindlichkeit/Interphobie in der Gesellschaft oft die Ursache von unnötigen, nicht-konsensuellen Behandlungen und anderen Formen von Diskriminierung. Damit dies nicht so bleibt, sind wir aktiv geworden.
