I finally read the Stokowski article, it wouldn't load on my tablet yesterday (maybe it remembered all the swearing on previous readings of her writings) and it is really incredibly woke but also a good example how everything is mixed up with intersex. So even if the law was intended specifically for intersex people the term gets to be an umbrella for lots of other things.
"Wenn man einmal verstanden hat, wie unwissenschaftlich bis brutal die Einteilung von Menschen in "männlich" und "weiblich" ist, kann man es nicht für etwas anderes als eine höllische Anmaßung halten, dass der Staat Leute in diese Kategorien zwingt. Das wird nicht wesentlich besser, wenn es eine dritte Option gibt, die ärztlich bescheinigt werden muss."
"If one has, at last, understood how unscientific or even cruel the categorization of humans as "male" or "female" is, one has to think of it as a hellish insolence that the state forces people into these categories. This will not get better when there is a third option which has to be certified by a doctor."
Sex has no scientific basis, she says, oh and self-ID
"Für Menschen, deren Genitalien so aussehen, wie Horst Seehofer sich das für Frauen und Männer vorstellt, die aber trans oder genderqueer leben, sind keine Verbesserungen vorgesehen."
"For people whose genitals look like Horst Seehofer thinks they should look like in a woman or a man, but who live as trans or genderqueer, there are no improvements planned."
Yes, intersex used as a wedge.
And she throws in Horst Seehofer's name in there because for every reader of her column this will mean conservative (probably identical for many with far-right these days), CSU, Bavarian, Catholic and therefore has to be WRONG without a doubt or looking further at the issues.
Interesting mix in the comments, quite a few defenses of basic biology.
