Why do people use human abnormalities to prove sex isn’t binary?

I am really at a loss why people use human birth abnormalities to prove that sex isn’t binary.

It’s no different than declaring that humans can have one or more heads because very rarely humans are born as part of co-joined twins.

How can people rationally use DSD’s to prove sex isn’t binary?

Firstly because the fetish side of the whole movement was very well known about and providing an “evidenced” medical reason garnered more sympathy, support and encouragement to push for certain laws.

Secondly claiming it is biological means there are children who are born trans, thus ensuring more likelihood of parents and society getting on board. Trans children also provide more “authenticity” to adult transness.

Separately, I see it as a modern version of a Victorian curiosity show.

it demonstrates really poor understanding of mammal or specifically human reproduction.

But it also relies on really poor understanding of basic science to fool others into thinking ppl who say they’re trans are due to biological factors.

it’s a Trojan horse.

As someone who transitioned as one of the first of those children to do so, I'm afraid that you are talking pure bollocks here.

The fact that males with hypospadias are included in the '1.7% are intersex' statistic just indicates what bollocks it is. To have hypospadias, you have to have a penis...

Which means that you are obviously male...

I can understand why you might not want to acknowledge that something terrible was done to you as a child.
