}}Kitty Anderson is an intersex activist from Iceland. She is a co-chair of European intersex organization OII Europe, a co-founder of Intersex Iceland, and chairman of the board of the Icelandic Human Rights Centre.[1] She has been described as a "leading voice of the intersex movement in Europe."[2]

Background

Kitty Anderson was born with androgen insensitivity. She found out when she was 13, but only found out she was born with internal testes when she was aged 22.[2][3] Anderson has reported that her "mother was told to lie" to her until she was aged 13.[4][5]

Activism

Anderson co-founded Intersex Iceland in 2014,[6] and currently serves as its chairperson.[2] She is co-chair and spokesperson[7] of OII Europe and chairperson of the board of the Icelandic Human Rights Centre.[1] She has also served on the board of Samtökin '78, Iceland's national queer organization, and the national Ministry of Welfare Queer Committee from 2014-2016.[2] Anderson has spoken against secrecy and shame associated with intersex:

{{quotation|When I found out I was 13 and I completely freaked out. There can be a lot of secrecy and stigma related to being intersex and it was something that had been kept from me. But when my cousin – who is also intersex – was born a couple of years later, my family didn’t keep it a secret and it was a healing process for all of us [3]}}

She also campaigns against intersex medical interventions.[8][9] In an interview with NIKK, Anderson has stated that "surgeries will continue until we get a law that prohibits them".[10]

Anderson has presented to the Council of Europe Committee on Bioethics,[11] and speaks at a range of conferences,[12][13] media,[14][15][16] and human rights institutions across Scandinavia and Europe.[17]

In 2015, Anderson campaigned to change terminology in the biology curriculum in Icelandic schools, and dictionaries, after finding out that the word intersex was being translated into Icelandic as "freak".[18][19] The publisher of the school text later apologized.[20]
