* '''Fae Garland''' is a lecturer of law at the University of Manchester. She has been published in ''Edinburgh Law Review'', ''New Zealand Law Review '' and ''The Journal of Social Welfare and Family Law''. She and Mitchell Travis were awarded funding from the Socio-Legal Studies Association’s Small Grant Scheme. The grant enabled interviews to take place with a number of Intersex Organisations from around the world. Participants were asked to reflect on their experiences of law and the future directions that it could take. University of Manchester, UK.
* '''Margaret Green''' is a founder Trustee and the Honorary Treasurer of Genital Autonomy. Following a music degree, she had a long career as a librarian and manager which culminated in the post of Assistant Director: Libraries, Information & Archives in Stoke-on-Trent and a PhD in Management Studies. On taking early retirement some years ago, she re-trained in speech-reading, audiology and developmental psychology and began work as a College Lecturer in Lip-reading Skills and Deaf Awareness. For the last six years she has worked exclusively in the charity sector in a variety of roles. She has been organising conferences, workshops and the Symposia since 2008 in tandem with the International Committee. Margaret is hoping that further research might be under-taken on the human rights issues highlighted by GA, on the psychological damage suffered by survivors and how we might influence and train psychologists to put in place some counselling or treatment to help.
