Because "intersex" isn't a sex, it isn't a new gamete.
And even so, in (most) case of malformations, some malformation classes only affect male individuals and others female individuals.
But I agree that a good compromise would be, and only for this class of people born with a visible congenital ambiguity, to allow them to decide what sex they want to live as.
- kelseyfrog 4y agoThis draws a very strange line around people who visibly display sex ambiguity and those who don't in terms of which gender roles are available to whom.
- throw_m239339 4y agoI don't believe sex stereotypes, what you call "gender roles", should ever be codified in any sort of official paper, no more than the party people vote for or the religion they follow. However, the sex of an individual who is born without any sort of ambiguity is useful data in a lot of cases, medical of course, and social to determine who has access to what segregated sex facility and so on and so forth.
- kelseyfrog 4y ago> to determine who has access I can see how this would appear reasonable at first glance, but it has so many thorny edge cases that it requires deep knowledge and systems-level thinking to address humanely.
