BBC news just did a report on poor treatment of intersex patients by Great Ormond Street Hospital, but it was really inaccurate (equating sex with gender by saying that intersex was a condition making it hard to tell a child's gender etc) but I used it as a chance to educate my mum (about choice of the intersex person and not just operating on their genitals at birth, and about how biological sex is a spectrum, of which male and female are only arbitrary - and often inaccurate - categories, as a lot of things make up biological sex). She seemed pretty receptive, which was good (especially considering the comments she's made about nb/trans people in the past)
