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?

No, I'm not being disingenuous. You yourself said that the issue shouldn't be decided by a democracy among the intersexed. And then you keep trying to argue the issue as if it should be decided by popular opinion. You've ignorantly blathered about how it's a very complex issue, and then asserted that it has simple solutions. You watched a television show and then started imagining that you speak for all intersexed people on issues that you know nothing about.

Is this going to be your shtick forever? Seems like you have nothing to back you up and you're just fucking with me. Let know when you're ready to have an honest discussion. Until then sayonara.

So a list of organizations that condemn medically unnecessary surgery on intersex children:
Quote:Medically unnecessary surgery on intersex children has been condemned by the World Health Organization, three former US surgeons-general, Physicians for Human Rights, the AIS-DSD Support Group for intersex people and their families, Amnesty International, UN experts, Lambda Legal, the ACLU, two pediatrics professional bodies, and intersex-led organizations worldwide.
