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?

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

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.
