Dyadism is a common kind of [[sexism]], the belief that humans are strictly ''[[dyadic]],'' having only two sexes. In action, dyadism is discrimination against intersex people. That discrimination can include erasure, harassment, medical malpractice, lack of marriage rights, religious intolerance, human rights violations, and hate crimes against intersex people. Dyadism is also the basis of other forms of sexism, including [[binarism]], the belief that people have only two genders. | Dyadism is a common kind of [[sexism]], the belief that humans are strictly ''[[dyadic]],'' having only two sexes.

As a result in many parts of the world, intersex people are still given so-called "normalizing" or "corrective" surgeries, often at a very young age, and without their consent.<ref name="ihra_What" | Because of dyadism, doctors think of intersex conditions as an irregularity.
