When I filled out the papers for my second covid vaccination I checked “Female,” and then saw that I was offered the option of “Prefer not to say.” I felt good about the fact that the LGBTI population was being taken into consideration.(The I stands for Intersex, about which I was totally ignorant). I decided if I was ever offered the choice I would check that box, to support those groujps of humans who experience what has been called “medical racism.” I had an eye-opening experience this morning when I visited Intersex and Transgender on Google. The illustration above comes from one of those sites. The articles explain the difference.
Everyone should be shown compassion but must we change our laws to fit 1.7 percent?

Which laws are you referring to? The statistics refer only to babies born with mixed genitals, as many as redheads who are born with their physical attributes: more than 3 million in the US. I was surprised also, after reading Intersex and Transgender on Google.

And only if you should be unlucky enough to be one of the three million innocents.

I’m referring to laws promoting transsexual benefits over women’s rights, like in athletics…maybe that doesn’t necessarily fit babies born with mixed genitals.
