| Description | As of now, no laws exist in Ontario to ban or monitor genital surgery on intersex infants. While parents are usually told, doctors do not always explain their child is intersex and might hide the information from the patient. Activists groups are trying to change this and make cosmetic genital surgeries on intersex infants illegal. On June 15, 2021, Egale Canada challenged the federal exemption allowing doctors to operate on intersex infants. |
