    Anecdotally, one of my friends eventually discovered through a lot of digging that he was very literally assigned female at birth, as he was born intersex and surgically “corrected” at birth without even his parents being told. They only discovered it when the family did DNA tests for some family history thing.

      Ya there is that one guy Brian D. Earp who talked about how babies who are born intersex are mutilated like its nothing to assign them a certain sex . And then of course we have babies that are born with perfectly healthy genatalia who are also mutilated like its nothing. THATS what happened to me. And to so many other babies in our world today as I type this…

      The thing that makes me think is that these are such MAAASSIVE issues and yet most of society chooses to …sweep them under the rug?..Why?

      Why are we choosing to not confromt such important issues right now?! Why not before?! What are we doing!?
