“You don’t have to be that gung-ho on trans rights to realize that a world where girls’ genitals need to be inspected before they can play any sport is worse for girls than a world where once in a while there’s a trans girl on a girls’ team.” —Evan Urquhart
There aren’t even any girls in America who have had transitional genital surgery that young, it doesn’t happen, that’s an invented concept and since everyone responsible for that law would have found that out at some point in the process, this isn’t ignorance but genuinely just 100% calculated to be something terrifying and upsetting they can blame trans people for “forcing” them to do. They’re not dumb, they’re just willing to sink so low as to have children legally abused, or at least put the threat of it on the books, to circuitously punish other people they hate.
I really appreciate the OP of this thread mentioning that they’re looking for intersex traits. Yes, this is to try to hurt trans kids and will hurt cis perisex kids. But I really want people to internalize that they’re using bodies like mine explicitly - naturally intersex bodies that do not fit into a physical sex binary regardless of gender identity.
Please stand with intersex people. Please learn about intersexism. Please tag things like this with intersexism as well as transphobia. Please name our struggles along with your own when it applies. Please internalize that intersex people are the invisible evil awful boogeyman used in every conceivable way to justify harm to other people while we are systemically erased, abused, medically tortured, and then told we don’t belong in the queer community because we’re just sick, disordered freaks. People will see our bodies being used as an excuse to hurt other people and only think about the others being hurt and not us. We are not fucking rare and we have been screaming for visibility.
I was sexually assaulted by doctors as a fucking child because I am intersex and it makes me insane seeing shit like this being all about perisex kids suffering. I had a full pelvic and pap as a child because I am intersex and there was legitimately no medical need to do that. Please remember intersex people in these discussions. These are things we go through without sports law restrictions every single fucking day.
