Western doctors are straight up hiding the person’z intersex status and editing their genitals to make them look male or female for sexist reasons.[1][2]
Yet I don’t hear about them as much as other LGBT groups.
In the UK intersex individuals don’t exist (they do) according to medicine because from what i understand parents are forced to decide the child’s sex as soon as physically possible after birth vs letting the child grow and make that decision based on the puberty they go through and how they feel.
So from what I’ve read/heard when this happens like the UK intersex people may end up going through the wrong puberty and then have to go on hormones for the rest of their lives or transition all because the doctors take the piss.
It was noted as one of the major (among many) failings of the UK around lgbtqi+ rights in something I read a while back.
