Morgan Carpenter is an intersex activist and researcher.[1] He became president of Intersex Human Rights Australia (formerly OII Australia)[2] in September 2013, and is now a co-executive director.[3] In 2015, he founded a project to mark Intersex Awareness Day.[4] Australia's Gay News Network included him in their "LGBTI people to watch in 2014".[5]

Activism

Morgan Carpenter helped found Intersex Human Rights Australia[3] and became president of the organisation in September 2013.[3][6][7] His intersex status was diagnosed as an adult, described as including a diagnosis of "indeterminate sex",[8] and a complex surgical history.[9][10]

Carpenter wrote intersex Human Rights Australia's submissions to Senate inquiries and appeared before a Senate hearing on anti-discrimination legislation, during activities that led to the adoption of an "intersex status" attribute in anti-discrimination law on 1 August 2013,[7][11][12][13] and a Senate committee inquiry on involuntary or coerced sterilisation.[14][15][16] Carpenter has also authored critiques of eugenic selection against intersex traits.[17] Carpenter is named as a reviewer for a DSD Genetics website funded by the National Health and Medical Research Council, Australia.[18]

With recognition of non-binary gender identities in Australian regulations, and German birth certificates, Carpenter expressed concern that such developments are "not a solution" to the needs of intersex people.[19][20][21][22] Nevertheless, Carpenter is the recipient of a passport with an 'X' sex marker.[23]

Carpenter took part in the "first United Nations Human Rights Council side event on intersex issues" in March 2014, alongside Mauro Cabral and representatives of Intersex UK and Zwischengeschlecht,[24] In 2015, Carpenter joined an international advisory board for a first philanthropic Intersex Human Rights Fund established by the Astraea Lesbian Foundation for Justice.[25] In the same year, he founded a project to mark Intersex Awareness Day.[4][26]

Carpenter speaks out against stigma,[27] and has spoken out in national media on issues affecting women purported to have intersex traits in competitive sport.[28][29] In 2015, he participated in an analysis of access to sport and healthy lifestyles for the UN Special Rapporteur on health.[30]
