'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?

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!!
