I just consider the fact those are fictional characters and the network gives the viewers what they want, mostly. It sort of gives me insight into the mentality of present day America.

I just watched the episode of House tonight.  Yes, they called him a 'freak of nature'  but the full quote was this, "You gave birth to a freak of nature, but that doesn't mean you need to treat him like one."  For the entire show, they were pushing the parents to be honest with their kid.  The parents wanted to protect him and said his testosterone shots were 'vitamins.'  The kid was a basketball player who wanted to take dance instead and at the end of the show, his mother allowed him to do both. 

Intersex bashing? Hardly.

The op seems like an activist type... they can make an apple look like bashing if it suits them...

Mister is right... it seems failry mundane when seen objectively without 'ZOMG ABUSE' goggles that block out all else.
