LGBTQI...

[UnaCorda]

I think it is unhelpful for the intersex community for such conditions (AIS, Swyer Syndrome, etc.) to be conflated with sexuality (i.e. LGBTQ, etc.) or with gender identity issues such as being gender-queer or transgender.

Intersex conditions are biological/medical whereas sexuality is psychological, so - in my opinion - they should be treated differently. AIBU?

T is put with the LGB community because of their historical associations with the stonewall riots.
In McCarthy America gay people were ‘anti- american’ and a threat to society (along with communists, etc). They were sacked from jobs, forced out of public places and gay bars shut down.
The Stonewall bar was somewhere they could hang out without being harrassed. Those who cross dressed/ were trans also hung out there in safety. I think it was illegal then to wear opposite gender clothes, not sure.
Anyway, after the riots ( where gay and t fought police together) they have been associated with the LGB community.
We now do not live in McCarthy- ist times, so it’s about time the T was dropped from LGB groupings.

There is extreme ignorance about DSD's, which I don't think is helped by being conflated with the T.

Not only not helped but actively an deliberately made more extreme. Before trans dogma was a thing my condition was just a minor point of interest on a par with someone being able to waggle their ears because it is at the very mild* end of the wide spectrum of chromosomal and developmental disorders that are lumped together under the misleading term intersex.

Now idiots like mermaids are parading around telling people I'm not a woman and 'prove' that children should be put on drugs that cause who knows what long term damage if they play with the 'wrong' toys.

*it should be noted that even as X trisomy goes I am at the very mild end, DSDs tend to come with a lot of 'it may cause x symptoms'
