Intersex: the hidden sex
What's interesting about conservatives who are against nonconforming sex, genders and sexualities do not take into account the fact that intersex people are just as normal as someone who is born as a male or female. You often hear about how there are only two sexes, and consequentially only two genders. And because of that, non-cisgender and transgender people are treated as second class citizens for going against the normal way of things. Yet having intersex children is alsmost as common and normal as someone who is born a boy or girl. So it seems weird that people try to undo a totally natural thing in order to make our ignorant society happy. What is really unnatural is having a newborn baby undergo alterations that they do not need in order to unnecessarily change into a gender that probably does not suit them; if having two types of reproductive organs do not interfere with their life in any way, I see no point in it. I have never really been informed about people who are intersex, but the more I think about it, the more I marvel at the fact that people have a combination of sexual reproductive systems. To me, it is a completely natural thing that should be celebrated. It is really unfair that there is not enough representation of intersexual people ; I rarely ever see them shown on the internet, television or on movies; If they are, then it is usually in a negative light. In the future, I would love to see intersexual people depicted as the normal human beings that they are.
