{{Citation |Text=Parents, doctors, mental health professionals, affected adults and family members all care deeply about protecting these children. However, the historical treatment of children born with intersex traits and the reality of society’s intolerance of difference has created so much pain and anger that these different groups of stakeholders have had a great deal of difficulty in communicating with each other.

Recognizing that all these groups have the best interests of children at heart, interACT believes that improving communication is a crucial part of improving care for children born with intersex traits.
