What reality do you think the existence of intersex people proves?
There are different conditions classed as "intersex", but they all represent real biological phenomenon, very often disorders, such as unusual genetics - so what does that have to do with the vast majority trans-men/women who aren't intersex, and have no physical or genetic disorder?
Also, many intersex conditions still have an effective "sex", further decreasing the population of intersex people whose sex is ambiguous.
> you rarely see "biological realists" advocating for intersex rights
The intersex population is very small, and consists of many different distinct conditions. What rights do you believe they all collectively need?
- thebooktocome 5y agoAs I said in the sibling, I'm not putting forward an opinion on trans people here. The existence of intersex people proves the existence of intersex people. Ironically, they need the same rights trans people would need, specifically, the freedom to exist in the gendered space that matches their presentation, regardless of their apparent biology. One of my friends has Klinefelter, an additional X chromosome. He has serious trouble using locker rooms and restrooms, because he outwardly appears to be female. I'll spare you the details.
