    1 in 1,700 people are born with both sexual organs.

    If extrapolated to the population of the United States that is 10% of the population of Nebraska that cannot be defined in this manner.

    Therefore, that statement is not biologically factual as thousands of people have both.

    Since this is a UK forum, the UK has 40,000 citizens who cannot be defined male or female in this manner.


    Onto your point about manipulating gender at a young age.

    The largest number of gender reassignment surgeries are performed on the population I just described, without their consent, at birth. And believe it or not often doctors get it wrong.

    Someone assigned female by a doctor as a baby, well turns out mentally they are a boy, a boy who had their penis removed at birth. That might have some affect on a person, I think you’d agree.

    So with that in mind, I agree with you about one thing, that non-reversible gender decisions should not be made without the consent of the individual being assigned a gender, as doctors are currently doing to intersex babies on a regular basis.

    So can we stop pretending that gender reassignement is the problem? It’s just a wedge issue designed and promoted to keep the lower classes divided so that we don’t realize what the rich are doing to us and this planet. I am not your enemy. We are allies. The enemy is up/down, not left/right.

    Transgender people just want to exist. Is it an unreasonable demand to exist and be acknowledged? I think not.
