“There is “growing evidence that surgical interventions on intersex infants can cause lasting harm, including stigma and medical mistrust,” says the report, titled ‘Advancing Health Equity for Intersex Individuals.’”

Link aggregation and the human tendency to read headlines and make assumptions about what the content could possibly be, when it’s literally right there, is mind boggling. This didn’t have a paywall or even an adblocker nag

Imagine if we just accepted people as they are...

I don’t understand. Do you mean the article or my reply?

The article is saying that

My reply is frankly because I think that a lot of harm has come from people assuming context from inflammatory headlines. How much bullshit narrative about transgender people is believed because dipshits go on reddit, read the byline “trans people are x” and then skip the entire article of nuance in favor of their cognitive bias?

Oh no, I was referring to the article and the subject matter in general. Just kind of exasperated by all of this shit I guess and was just saying it to say it. I wasn't taking issue with what you said or anything. I can see now how that was unclear.

Just in general, I wish we could just accept people as they are. Intersex people are intersex. Aside from bullshit societal pressures (or medical necessity), there's no reason for people to feel the need to "correct" anything.
