everytime i see “intersex is a medical condition/ genetic disorder” i just, my vision goes red 

having blue eyes is a genetic disorder. having blonde hair is a genetic disorder. having attached earlobes is a genetic disorder. having small lips is a genetic disorder. every bit and piece of you is a genetic disorder. thats why different eye colors and hair colors and races and heights fucking exist. your genes fucked up and made something it wasnt supposed to when the first humans on earth created offspring. every single person on this planet is a genetic disorder. 

intersex people arent a fucking dented can of food you can just call ‘defective’ 

were fucking human beings 

were allowed just as much a space of recognition as every other race or sexuality or gender gets

The idea of intersexuality being a disorder or condition is directly harmful to our lives. 

It encourages (scared or ignorant) parents into forcing their babies (babies!) into intensive irreversible (often sterilizing) surgeries to better fit the arbitrary sex binary. They call it “Gender Affirmation” surgeries like they’re fixing something wrong rather than fucking with the way people are born for aesthetics. Doctors have literally been quoting saying that they have operated on children because “boys should be able to stand to urinate”.  

The Human Rights Watch and the UN have both categorized the treatment of intersex children within the United States as torture. By calling a state of being a ‘condition’ or ‘disorder’ it normalizes and moralizes the “treatment” of intersex children.
