Claiming intersex 'privilege' is transphobic
http://www.thescavenger.net/isgd/claiming-intersex-privilege-is-transphobic-78345.htmlThere are some academics, members of diagnosis groups, and activists who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans or intersex who accuse transgender or transsexual people of claiming to be intersex when they are not. There are also those who accuse some intersex people of being transsexual or transgender and not really intersex. Both these positions are transphobic, writes Gina Wilson.
Consider this:
Very few transsexual people have their DNA inspected as a part of their work-up to surgery. A surgeon is unlikely to notice DNA differences while performing surgery.
Most transsexual surgery is conducted on the genitals and breast, sometimes on the face. Not all intersex is evident in genitals, faces or breasts, so that assumes intersex is about reproductive parts and appearance.
