How common is intersex? | Leonard Sax MD PhD | Physician, Psychologist, and Author
Sometimes a child is born with genitalia which cannot be classified as female or male. A genetically female child (i.e., with XX chromosomes) may be born with external genitalia which appear to be those of a normal male. Or, a genetically male child (XY chromosomes) may be born with female-appearing external genitalia. In very rare cases, a child may be born with both female and male genitalia. Because these conditions are in some sense “in-between” the two sexes, they are collectively referred to as intersex.

I loved this next part........

Fausto-Sterling maintains that human sexuality is best understood not as a dichotomy but as a continuum.

So true....I could line up 100 males and 100 females from least masculine/most feminine to most masculine/least feminine and the truth of that statement would be obvious to all but the very lowest on the thinking continuum.
 
I notice no one cared to comment on the medical exceptions I posted. I guess you actually recognized your dilemma......progress
 
Obviously your assumption is that I didn't. See post above..........Simplemindedness personified.
I know you are the expert, but I literally spent every working day for the past 3 years taking care of kids and adolescents -- supporting, encouraging, and reassuring them, without wearing a mask.

Get outside and enjoy the beautiful day. I know I'm going to!

I've been a physician for 22 years, seeing only children, every day. Care to guess how many kids I've encountered that meet the definition you posted?

Zero.

I never wore a mask when it wasn't required....my wife did a little...and we were both perfectly fine, accepting, and understanding of each other's choice.

As soon as the rain passes through and the day turns beautiful, we are headed to ATL to see the daughter, future son-in-law, and his parents who are visiting from TX.

Zero.
Which again is why it's called an "extraordinary exception"....but one that must be acknowledged and accounted for.

Be safe. Don’t go anywhere near Troup County 😄

They say opposites attract. Your wife must be really smart.
 
There are no “unique situations” that would require a minor to have a sex change.

In most states a minor can’t get a freeking tattoo even with a parent’s permission yet your party wants to allow permanent disfigurement without consultation with a parent.
“Unique Situations”

Sounds like a euphemism for “Emergency Powers” here.

That always ends well.
 
I believe it is a non-issue. I'm confident it pretty much NEVER happens, but unless there are some really unique circumstances, I would be against it.

I could easily compromise on a bill making certain surgeries illegal for anyone under the age of 18, as long as there are provisions for the extraordinary situations. I believe most every dem and repub would agree.

The right attempting to make it some kind of political boogey man is just one more example of how they easily manipulate the unthinking while making the country a worse place for everyone.
“Gender Dysphoria” diagnoses are increasing rapidly - up over 69% in the last year alone.

Do you know how they treat “Gender Dysphoria” when calling girls by boy names fails to resolve the underlying condition?

For comparison, roughly 550 kids per year have died with a recent/concurrent diagnosis of CV19. Talk about a unique circumstance!

That has nothing to do with surgeries. I've looked at that data. Surgery on kids under 18 is extremely rare. But I've already said that I would happily agree with some surgeries being made illegal for children under the age of 18 with exceptions made for extraordinary circumstances.

It is not surgery. It is clearly labeled diagnoses.
Diagnosis is the first step in treatment.

But it’s not just removal of genitalia and breast tissue. There are puberty blockers. There are hormone treatments. These have lasting effects.

Are you at all alarmed by the phenomenal growth rate in diagnoses that has clearly been observed?
