nonconsensual

The state’s statute against nonconsensual sexual deepfakes has not generated as much controversy.

The lawsuit, filed Sunday in Clark County, Nev., seeks damages for claims of assault, sexual assault, battery, sexual battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress while alleging multiple nonconsensual sexual encounters in her Las Vegas apartment between October and January.

Yet the medical establishment in nearly all parts of the world has historically seen any variations in sex characteristics as something that needs to be “fixed,” and many intersex people have undergone unnecessary and nonconsensual surgeries at birth as a result that can lead to lifelong pain and side effects.

Afterward, many do not receive the care they need to treat these symptoms stemming from nonconsensual operations.

The United Nations has condemned nonconsensual intersex surgeries for more than a decade, as they have been shown to lead to long-term physical problems with fertility, pain, incontinence and the loss of sexual sensation, along with severe psychological consequences.
