The 1 percent or less of kids who are born intersex should get whatever treatment their parents authorize.
This "gender affirming care" movement has nothing to do with intersex kids, who are born with physical abnormalities. This is about cutting off the balls of a healthy boy or removing a healthy uterus from a girl. Without parental consent. You down with that?
What did I say that makes you think I am 'down with that'.
Have you read Middlesex? Aside from life threatening genetic issues, which being intersex is not, gender reassignment should only be available to the adults who chose it for themselves.
The brain finishes developing and maturing in the mid-to-late 20s. The part of the brain behind the forehead, called the prefrontal cortex, is one of the last parts to mature. This area is responsible for skills like planning, prioritizing, and
making good decisions. If my child wanted sexual reassignment surgery, I would not consent; and I believe it should not be allowed without my consent.
Native Americans have often held intersex, androgynous people, feminine males and masculine females in high respect. IMO parents and other adults should encourage young impressionable folks appreciate themselves as they are instead of how they or others think they should be. Every human is unique which is exactly how it should be. If we were all alike, we may as well be robots.
