    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, there is also another intervention that is surgical. This surgical intervention is way beyond a normal Kenyan. This is because a normal Kenyan may not have the money that is required to go through a surgical intervention in order to change the sex. However, a sure way for such a Kenyan is to have the registration change, so that the person has a tick of intersex. There is also need to sensitize medical practitioners. I watched an intersex person who was remorseful, feeling bad that they are not given proper medical treatment. Sometimes they are neglected. Therefore, medical practitioners need to be sensitized about intersex persons, so that they offer treatment, just the way the treat other people. There is also need for the medical practitioners to be sensitized, so that they keep information as confidential as possible. This will ensure that the intersex do not feel like everybody knows about what they are going through. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support this amendment. It should be treated with the speed that it deserves. I also want to suggest that county governments should also intervene, so that they identify intersex people in their counties and look for ways and mechanisms of supporting them. This will ensure that they are not marginalized. The life and sex of every Kenyan matters; whether someone is male, female or intersex. As human beings, the intersex has a right to be in this country. In fact, they have a great contribution to make with regard to the economy of this country. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I support."
