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.
So you're not going to provide any sources to back up what you said earlier. Dodge noted.
Anyway, yes, correct, a democracy would be a bad idea in this case because we're dealing with violations of bodily and autonomy rights here. And even then, I don't have the numbers (for all we know, it's probably 50/50). Again, check out the link to an authority on this topic and let them do the talking. You're looking at this in a sociopathic manner instead of prioritizing all the variables involved in a way that treats each intersexed individual with dignity.
