People who use disorders of sexual development(aka "intersex" disorders) as a reason why being trans is actually natural is the same argument that religious people give when they say that psychosis/schizophrenia is proof that a spiritual realm/god exists.

My sister didn't achieve a slender enough figure to be displayed facing the castle as I am, but as soon as her core muscles will have weakened, I have no doubt she will be corseted way tighter and become a marvelous ornament, just like me!

Important Intersex Artists: Jimmy Scott, Master of Jazz

Them reports on intersex jazz legend Jimmy Scott over at Instagram:

Little Jimmy Scott is arguably the most influential jazz musician you've never heard of. The Cleveland-born crooner sang at not one but two presidential inaugurations — 40 years apart, no less, and for presidents of both parties (Eisenhower in 1953 and Clinton in ’93). 

Legendary artists from Madonna to Marvin Gaye have sung his praises — the former saying that Scott was the only singer to make her cry; the latter reportedly played a single record during his Belgian refuge: Scott’s Falling In Love Is Wonderful... Born in 1925, Scott lived with Kallman Syndrome, which affects the pituitary gland, causing either a delayed puberty or bypassing puberty altogether. Throughout his life, Scott was very open about having the “deficiency,” yet when he was offered the opportunity for medical intervention, he declined. “I didn’t even think about fixing my body because my body didn’t feel broken," he told his biographer. "I could deal with my body.”

I came across this after hearing out a few DSD/intersex/CCSD people and their frustration in being used as a “prop” for trans rhetoric. I had actually never ever heard from a DSD/CCSD person on the trans topic for years til I heard those people this year.

I always thought it had been a mutual understanding and even support on their part to be part of trans/self-ID rhetoric, but it seems not?

They also said something about how the phrase “assigned at birth” originated from the DSD/intersex/CCSD community. The phrase came out of the debate concerning “sex-conforming” surgeries done to babies before they could consent, hence literally “assigning” the “sex at birth”. They said they fought for no sex- conforming surgeries on minors until they were of age to decide what to do with their bodies on their own because of the complications that arose in their lives as a result of having the conforming surgeries before their consent. So, that’s where the phrase “assigned at birth” is actually taken from

I never really thought about or heard of this before, so I thought I’d share.

Edit: I had a guy comment on this telling me this is offensive and he was “intersex”… I went to his page and found he had actually purposefully castrated himself and also identified as an “eunuch”. He’s not intersex… He even, without me having said such a thing, said I called him a “pervert”, which was a huge red flag that he’s been called that before!

this is where self-ID becomes an issue… a man who willingly had his parts removed claimed he was “intersex” and speaking for people with DSD…
