'We've all been lied to': The intersex community speaks out in powerful new documentary

'We've all been lied to': The intersex community speaks out in powerful new documentary
Hundreds of thousands of Americans have something in common, something that, for the most part, they have been encouraged to hide. It's so little talked about, in fact, that the greater population may not realize just how prevalent they are.
These people are intersex – an umbrella term for variations in reproductive or sex anatomy, and could show up in someone's chromosomes, genitals, testes or ovaries. It's estimated that 1.7% have intersex traits, and 0.7% are recommended to have surgical intervention.
Documentary "Every Body" (in theaters Friday) aims to give this community a platform. The film offers a history of how treatments for intersex people became commonplace; how intersex people are often lost in wider LGBTQ+ conversations; and how through coming together and raising their voices, their stories can finally be heard.

1.7% ?? B.S.

How long until they try to claim Jamie Lee Curtis as their standard bearer, given the old rumor that she’s a hermaphrodite?

I may sound calloused, but why does their story need to be heard? What is so important about their story?

They require validation.

I've said for years that real intersex people are not what we're currently dealing with. These people were born with a legit medical condition not culturally induced mental illness.....huge distinction.

In other words, we are not normal. As a matter of fact, from a historical perspective, we were called retarded.
Now, we want society to accept us and help propagate our abnormality!!

I guess they might kill themselves if it isn't.

I see your intersex people marginalization and raise you one: intersex people Of color

What's crazy is a person wouldn't know if another person was intersex. Unless they tell you or remove their clothing they would appear as normal. So, it's not like they suffer discrimination. This is a physical anomaly and not a mental issue. This is all so fricking weird. Our country is fricked.

Exactly. These are the only people that have an actual right to talk about all this shite

just another category to rip Americans apart and separate us into neat voting blocks. Marxism in action

Why indeed? Perhaps there should be a larger groundswell to see Caviezel’s new film The Sound of Freedom exposing child trafficking.(Opening incidentally a few days later.)
I wonder will the media be shocked by the true story and give the movie its due or yawn, call in the fact checkers, and have another Chardonnay?

Because they have an actual physical disability that creates confusion within themselves and within their most intimate relationships, and it has been hijacked by a bunch of mentally I’ll gay people who are attempting to make some kind of weird political point.
Being gay isn’t being transgender.
Being a hermaphrodite or whatever the PC term is not the same as being transgender.
Being transgender is something that people who have a mental illness have. It’s a delusion. And that delusion has resulted in people having the false impression that someone who was born with a true chromosomal defect somehow chose that path
