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.
But you're the one who wants intersexed issues to be decided by popular public opinion. So you clearly think that intersexed issues should be decided democratically, and you are campaigning for your side.
You are being disingenuous here, and you know that.
Quote:The issue should be decided by those who really understand the complexities of the issue, and medical policy should evolve in response to copious feedback from intersexed people.
Ok, fine. I've researched organization that really understand the complexities of the issue. I gave you a link to one of them. There's also the UN and other organizations in Europe and elsewhere.
Quote:And I'm not dodging you. I'm simply refusing to have the kind of argument that you want to have-- one in which you pretend to be an expert on the issue with the help of google. You aren't interested in being right. You just want to play eristic games.
Well, what do you have then? You accuse me of playing games, but what are you doing then?
