I say this is using biologically-unique individuals for the trans-sexual agenda. Sickening...

Jeffrey Eugenides' Pulitzer Prize winning novel "Middlesex" dealt with this issue. It was about Calliope Stephanides, who appeared to be a girl, but at puberty, started developing masculine features. Eventually, she decided to live as a man. (This doesn't ruin the book. It's all at the start. What's interesting is why it happened and how he/she discovered it.) It's an excellent read.

Holy Intersexual experiences! This is confusing and sickening.

Although her sex chromosomes are unambiguously XY, there is no doubt that she is a woman. I doubt it. She is a disfigured man.

About 30 genetic and hormonal conditions can give rise to intersexuality, leading, in some folks, to an obvious mixture of male and female sex traits.
Ping, this is some of what I was trying to tell you in my posts to you.
To: Cathryn Crawford
What it all boils down to, says Dr. Eric Vilain, a professor of human genetics, pediatrics and urology at UCLA, is that the roots of gender identity are much more complex than anyone thought.No it's not. These are examples of birth defects. Are we to believe that "human identity is much more complex than anyone thought" because some are born without a limb, with spina bifida, or dwarfism? Of course not.
It's wrong and insulting to use exceptions to push a political agenda.

Evolution's diversity at work.
An article that demonstrates the difficulty in life of dealing with what is within a construct of what ought and questioning why on both counts.

I thought a true hermaphrodite.....basically only urban legand....was where someone had a functioning penis and vagina and uterus/fallopians/ovaries.
The poor child in question here seems to me to have been a biologically compromised male.

"The surgical team had found rudimentary ovarian and Fallopian-tube tissue in Kyle's body."
The first group of butchers obviously wasn't too thorough. To scare people into believing that if this issue isn't resolved, cancer will result should be grounds for a law suit. That's ridiculous. Once again our glorious allopathic medial people screw up another little person.

Intersexuality is just a choice, isn't it? Or have I been hanging around here too long?
