Abstract
A lot of intersexual children undergo gender reassignment surgery to achieve clear classification as being either male or female. In this work, the current medical practice in this regard is examined in terms of its compatibility with German law. The study focuses on informed consent regarding such medical treatment. Furthermore, a comparative analysis of the legal systems in Germany, Austria and Switzerland aims to analyse whether certain regulations concerning the different forms of consent in this respect should be incorporated into the German legal system. All in all, the work pursues a legal policy objective, and develops and evaluates different approaches to improving the situation of intersexual individuals beyond surgical treatment.
