It should first be noted that the numbers of “intersexual” children are often greatly exaggerated:

“Anne Fausto-Sterling’s suggestion that the prevalence of intersex might be as high as 1.7% has attracted wide attention in both the scholarly press and the popular media. Many reviewers are not aware that this figure includes conditions which most clinicians do not recognize as intersex, such as Klinefelter syndrome, Turner syndrome, and late-onset adrenal hyperplasia. If the term intersex is to retain any meaning, the term should be restricted to those conditions in which chromosomal sex is inconsistent with phenotypic sex, or in which the phenotype is not classifiable as either male or female. Applying this more precise definition, the true prevalence of intersex is seen to be about 0.018%, almost 100 times lower than Fausto-Sterling s estimate of 1.7%. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12476264

The incidence of “intersexuality” should be viewed as a result of negative mutations, defined as “a change that occurs in our DNA sequence, either due to mistakes when the DNA is copied or as the result of environmental factors such as UV light and cigarette smoke. ... Often cells can recognise any potentially mutation-causing damage and repair it before it becomes a fixed mutation.”

Babies who are born with sexual deformities no more consitute a “third (or 4th or 5th “ad infinitum”) sex” than babies born with club feet or cleft lips constitute separate human sub-species.

There is no denying that the rare cases of babies born with sexual deformities constitute a difficult problem that requires wise medical judgment, but they in no wise justify the patent fiction that sexuality exists on a “continuum.”

I believe that there are “true” transgenders that from a very young age have “felt” they were the opposite sex. Some of those it may be something in the DNA, but I imagine for most it is still a response to their social environment and is a mental thing.

In the last ten years the number of males-to-females has increased about 300%. The increase of females-to-males is something like 4,000%! Mostly in the teen to young adult years. Most likely a social contagion like cutting, anorexia, etc. Girls are much more susceptible to social contagions. It is mostly seen in girls with pre-existing mental issues such as anxiety, depression, Aspergers, and other issues that can create poor social skills.

It is made worse by the trans-cult. Left-wing groups have piled on (like Soros and the Tides group) putting millions into it. To destroy families, destroy God, and destroy western hemisphere ideals. And of course therapists and doctors are jumping in based on very little actual data other than the amount of money to be made in affirming these deceived kids.

Preach it.

Yes: arguing from the exception.

By that reasoning, an assembly-line engine defect that prevents one cylinder block from operating as an internal combustion engine means that internal combustion itself is a myth and that engine blocks exist on a nebulous continuum without any functional norm.
