Intersex people stand in the midst of tensions around the orientation of medical treatment of their body and the determination of “their own good”. The will for self-determination relayed by politicised social actors and the critiques they level at doctors are dealt with minimized credibility. Examining the strongest grounds for maintaining medical primacy, this text submits the answers the intersex community developed to them. This reflection builds up on Young’s philosophical perspectives on self-determination and on Fricker’s concept of epistemic injustice.
