In Recognition of Intersex Awareness Day
Press Statement John Kirby Assistant Secretary and Department Spokesperson, Bureau of Public Affairs Washington, DC October 26, 2016

On the occasion of Intersex Awareness Day, the United States stands in solidarity with intersex persons around the world.
We recognize that intersex persons face violence, discrimination, stigma, harassment, and persecution on account of their sex characteristics, which do not fit binary notions of typical male or female bodies.
Intersex persons routinely face forced medical surgeries that are conducted at a young age without free or informed consent. These interventions jeopardize their physical integrity and ability to live free.
The United States is a proud and founding member of the Equal Rights Coalition, a recently established Coalition of 31 governments that aims to “strengthen cooperation to advance the human rights of, and support inclusive development for all persons regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, and sex characteristics.” We hope this Coalition will work to share best practices and to jointly address challenges in support of the human rights of intersex persons.
Through the Global Equality Fund, the United States, together with the Fund’s 25 government, foundation, and business partners, are supporting new efforts of the intersex community to mobilize and organize, with the goals of increasing awareness of and support for intersex persons and their human rights. The Fund was launched in 2011 to support civil society in their efforts to advance human rights and uphold dignity for all.
On Intersex Awareness Day, we are reminded that all people everywhere are created equal and should be afforded equal dignity and respect, regardless of sex characteristics. We look forward to continued cooperation with civil society, like-minded governments, and others to advance the human rights of intersex persons.
Bingo. You nailed it!
The why is fairly obvious.
And it has every chance of being useful to the far left.
Put out something about a group of sexual medical conditions that are fairly rare, and then look for the unmitigated idiots who disparage anything they have never heard of. Then record or copy the nastiness these idiots spew out at venues associated with your political opponents.
It appears to have been a dead on bullseye.
Next form I have to fill out that asks “sex”, I’ll answer YES!
They twist themselves into pretzels in attempts to make their sexuality seem legit, but they never succeed so they just keep twisting.
I don't know who those "some people" are, but I saw her in the movie True Lies the other evening and there is no question in my mind that she is female!
“I don’t know who those “some people” are,”
People like “associate Professor of Anthropology at Brown University named William O. Beeman who wrote a 1996 op-ed piece for The Baltimore Sun titled “What Are You: Male, Merm, Herm, Ferm or Female?” His one-line comment regarding Curtis was pulled before publication due to total lack of documentation.”

“but I saw her in the movie True Lies the other evening and there is no question in my mind that she is female!”
Again, does this woman look like she is genetically male: http://abcnews.go.com/Health/MedicalMysteries/story?id=5465752&page=1 I think she’s quite pretty. And she happens to have C.A.I.S. and is genetically male. No one would ever suspect that looking at her. I think this woman, her name is Katie Baratz-Dalke, MD, is lovely - but she’s genetically male: http://www.oprah.com/oprahshow/Shedding-Light-on-Intersex And she seems like she’s very comfortable with her condition: https://myspace.com/katieleigh19/mixes/classic-my-photos-393755/photo/124681013 I wonder if her sister is also C.A.I.S. https://myspace.com/katieleigh19/mixes/classic-my-photos-393755/photo/124681017
Methinks you’re on to somethin’ there.
