While it adopted the term to open "many more doors", the now defunct Intersex Society of North America itself remarked that intersex is not a disorder. 'DSD' is itself heavily contested, including by civil society organizations, human rights institutions and academics. Academics like Georgiann Davis and Morgan Holmes, and clinical psychologists like Tiger Devore, argue that the term DSD was designed to "reinstitutionalise" medical authority over intersex bodies, making intersex bodies more treatable and more of a stigma (Holmes), or to place intersex "neatly into medical turf and safely away from critics of its medicalisation" (Davis). In May 2016, Interact Advocates for Intersex Youth published a statement opposing pathologizing language to describe people born with intersex traits, recognizing "increasing general understanding and acceptance of the term "intersex"".
