Intersex Rage as Biopolitical Protest: 

Stan Thangaraj in Conversation with David Rubin

David Rubin argues that anger, aggression, and attitude, far from being toxic, anti-social emotions, are integral to intersex survival and resilience. Intersex rage, focused with precision, has helped create a transnational legacy of biopolitical protest that critically challenges the regulation of human life through the medicalization and pathologization of intersex, trans, and gender nonconforming subjects."
