I'm not exactly sure if banning is a good diea, but yeah there's something wrong about these surgeries and something should be done about them.

While I agree that the practice is wrong, we need to consider the parents' rights and needs in this matter.

Nope, nope, nope, you are infringing on the rights of parents to decide for their children how they want them to be.

Of course not, it's a disease and needs to be treated. Would you want an intersex child to suffer for the rest of their life because of this disorder?

I'm pretty sure that I know more about this issue than you do, but I don't know enough to take sides on it.

But if you won't post sources to support your points, I can't know that you know more about this issue than I do. How do I know you weren't being misleading with some of your words?

Quote:So here's a question for you. Some intersexed people have had surgeries as toddlers that they grew up to be resentful of. Are the opinions of these people representative of intersexed people in general?

Probably not. But representativeness isn't the point here.

This is what needs to be considered (not numbers, but what is the morally right thing to do):

That's an authority on this subject, by the way. So you don't need to worry about my "expertise" ...

It's not a contest about who knows more. It's about knowing that you don't know enough to have such a strong opinion. You've acknowledged that those who are resentful of surgeries that they had as toddlers are probably not representative of intersexed people in general-- and yet you are appointing yourself to be the spokesperson on an intersex issue for intersexed people in general.
We do not inherit the world from our parents. We borrow it from our children.
