Dreger and Eugenics - The redefining of intersex as a genetic birth defect
by Curtis E. Hinkle
Founder, Organisation Intersex International
http://www.intersexualite.org/Dreger_Eugenics.html#anchor_23
There are three main figures involved. Dreger is central to each. They are: Dr. Eric Vilain, J Michael Bailey and Dreger herself. Vilain is in the Penn State group (Network on Psychosexual Differentiation) and a board member of ISNA. Bailey is in the Penn State group with Vilain and at Northwestern University with Alice Dreger. Dreger is very closely connect with ISNA and Northwestern University where Bailey is and has devoted a large part of her recent career in defending Bailey.
Bailey works and has worked very closely with Dr. Eric Vilain who just recently in a June Scientific American article took credit for coming up with the term "Disorders of Sexual Development" (His choice of words).

This is a pre-emptive strike on their part, because they know that intersexuality holds the prospects of knocking down all of their neat little walls around their neat little boxes.
If they can discredit intersexuality as a pathology instead of as a normal divergent genetic trait, than they can work on fixing all of those kids that are born interesexed, show that it is a genetic abnormality that can be corrected, and separate it from homosexuality.
Because if homosexuality can be proven to be a choice rather than a genetic trait, than they can reclassify it as a psychological abnormality. Same is true for transsexuality, if they can prove that all transsexuals are really homosexuals.
It's a sinple divide and conquer strategy. Isn't it amazing how the rise of the neo-cons and their blatent fascism is being accompanied by another holdover from the holocaust? Eugenics.
If intersexuals can be proven to be "suffering" from a real genetic abnormality that can be corrected, and everyone else can be proven to have a psychological dysfunction that can also be cured, than they can strengthen the walls around their neat little world.
Don't forget for a moment that Hitler followed a radical form of Catholicism to the extreme and thought that ridding the world of those defective Jews, homosexuals, and "n******" was saving the world. Look around you. This is just the tip of a very large iceberg children. This is how it starts. Speak out now, or when they come for you, there will be no one to speak up for you.
