What bothers me as an intersex person and I see this alot and especially within the transgender community and with trans people, is that they are misusing, mislabeling and misidentifying themselves as an intersex person when they aren't even intersex to being with in the first place. What I have been seeing and I don't know if this is some sort of fad for them, is that they seem to think, that labeling and calling themselves intersex is a way for them to escape being called or labeled trans.

Maybe not a fad, but I'll definitely toss my hat in the ring of, 'in desperate need of rationalization.'
