It is estimated that up to 1.7 percent of the population has an intersex trait and that approximately 0.5 percent of people have clinically identifiable sexual or reproductive variations.
Based on that above I voted yes.Intersex individuals are people born with variations in their sex characteristics that do not fit into the typical male or female binary. These variations can include:
Intersex conditions are not a disease or a choice. They are a natural variation in human biology that affects approximately 1 in 1000 people. Intersex individuals may identify as male, female, intersex, or another gender identity. They may also have different experiences with their bodies and their gender, and may face unique challenges related to healthcare, social stigma, and discrimination.
- Genitals:
Having both male and female reproductive organs (hermaphroditism) or ambiguous genitalia.
- Chromosomes:
Having a combination of XX and XY chromosomes, typically associated with female and male sex, respectively.
- Hormones:
Having levels of male and female hormones that do not align with their physical sex.
Right-wingers and some Dems would ban the treatment of intersex people.
Actually one of the cruelest things about this is that many on the right are likely very much in favor of leaving the decision to "normalize sex" at birth if a child is born intersex with ambiguous genitalia up to the parent(s) and/or surgeon, since that is one thing that has consistently been exempted within many laws targeting transgender people. That means before a child is anywhere close to being old enough to consent, generally talking infants here, they actually don't care if the surgeons are able to perform these surgeries. Surgeons are allowed to perform these specific surgeries, showing the hypocrisy and additional cruelty that is part of these laws.Right-wingers and some Dems would ban the treatment of intersex people.
“When lawmakers propose and pass explicit exceptions for surgeons to operate on intersex bodies before the patients themselves can consent, it makes it clear that these bills are about erasing bodily diversity, not protecting anyone.”
Hermaphrodite if born with testicles and ovariesDo intersex people exist? If so, what sex or gender should they be classified as?
Do intersex people exist? If so, what sex or gender should they be classified as?
My understanding is that intersex people don't need to be "treated." There's nothing inherently harmful about being intersex.
Yes. You need a poll for this?Do intersex people exist?
Depends on the context.If so, what sex or gender should they be classified as?
Depends what you mean by treated. A girl with Swyer syndrome will need hormone therapy if she wants to go through puberty. A person with ovo-testes will usually have surgery to remove the testicular tissue due to increased cancer risks.
Why are you so obsessed with this stuff?Do intersex people exist? If so, what sex or gender should they be classified as?
Please tell me about the supposed trans-agenda. ThanksThe most important issue for the democratic party to run on. OK, that and Get Trump!!! Let's just imagine that the democrats chose to run on closing the border and cleaning out the waste in the federal government and Trump ran on the trans agenda. Which would the voters prefer? Neo-leftists claim to be of superior intelligence then turn around and do the dumbest things.
