Omschrijving:Introduction: Currently, intersex people are pathologized by medical discourse and socially invisible. For this reason, it is pertinent to explore the impact of endo-cis police on the subjectivation of intersex persons. Endo-cis police are understood as the modes of regulation of being and doing of specific bodies. Objective: Make visible experiences of violence that three intersex people suffer, how this violence has affected the subjectification processes of these persons and what movements they have made to resist and redefine them. Methodology: Qualitative and exploratory, with multiple case study design with crossed cases and building explanation analysis, depth semi-structured interview was used. Results: Intersex people question and resist endocis binary normativity in various contexts, while creating their own nomination for their identity, body and gender expression. Conclusion: The endo-cis policies arouse inarticulability and unthinkability of intersex existences, however, the experiences of the participating people show the need for openings to the multiplicity of existences other than binary. .
