“…The reviewed authors describe the engagement of regional and international human rights bodies with intersex issues, such as the UN, the Council of Europe, the European Parliament, or the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, analyzing their resolutions and recommendations (Bauer et al 2020;Carpenter 2020;Garland and Travis 2022;Garland et al 2022;Pikramenou 2019;Ravesloot 2021;Sterling 2021;Travis 2015;Winter Pereira 2022;Zelayandía-González 2023). They also review the implementation of their recommendations in national contexts (Carpenter 2018b;Duggan and McNamara 2021;Garland and Travis 2022;Ní Mhuirthile et al 2022;von Wahl 2021).…”

Over the last decades, intersex studies has achieved increasing development as a field of critical knowledge, in tight collaboration with discourses developed by intersex activism and human rights bodies. This paper proposes a self-reflexive review of epistemological perspectives in intersex studies within broader discursive fields, through a thematic analysis and comparative framing analysis. This analysis is based on a narrative literature review of academic contributions, activist declarations, and documents issued by human rights bodies conducted over the last decade as a work-in-progress project. Furthermore, it includes results of a scoping review of recent knowledge production in intersex studies carried out in Scopus within the subject area ‘social sciences’. This paper focuses on the analysis of the following epistemological perspectives: human rights frameworks, legal perspectives and citizenship theories, reflections on biopolitics, medicalization and iatrogenesis, sociology of diagnosis framework, depathologization perspective, respectful health care models, and reflections on epistemological, methodological, and ethical aspects. The literature review raises questions about the existence of specific intersex epistemologies in intersex studies, their interrelation with discourses contributed by intersex activism and human rights bodies, and the opportunities for a contribution of theory making in intersex studies to the human rights protection of intersex people.

“…Although some countries have opened relevant national policies on third sex [29], many transgender people have not received due legal protection, as Nikoletta Pikramenou pointed out: only a few countries explicitly protect the rights of intersex people, because jurisdictions are still in an era of transition, and judges' decisions need to consider moral and human rights aspects [30]. Similar cases of challenging binary also occurred in Sweden:some ender-neutral third-person pronouns were refused to be written into the dictionary.…”

This paper mainly summarizes the research on Feminism from 2015 to 2020, including the development of new post-feminism, the study of games and feminism, and the study of gender binary. It includes the latest remarks of post-feminism and its limitations with the development of the times. In terms of game research, the stereotype in game design and the plight of female employees are the most frequently mentioned problems. How players obtain a sense of identity in the game, how to reduce gender discrimination and realize self transformation in reality are the directions worthy of research in the future. For gender binary, one of the most promising developments is to reduce discrimination against transgender people in policies and laws and safeguard their rights, which only a few countries have done this, so more attention needs to be paid to the reasons why people defend the gender binary and find a feasible direction for the future. As times evolve and feminist rhetoric changes, there is an urgent need to revisit the feminist phenomenon. This paper will propose new avenues and implications for future research.
