Phil Plait Retweeted Open Ocean Exploration
Lots of folks seem to be missing the point here. It’s about biological sex, gender, conflating and misunderstanding the two. This might help, at least about the sex part.https://twitter.com/RebeccaRHelm/status/1207834357639139328 …
Phil Plait added,
Can you and @RebeccaRHelm please kindly remember that our adults and children with different sex development exist. We see this, we read this - and we live with this, as boys and girls and men and women. You may try to help, but do it in a humane way please. Try @dsdfamilies
I’m sorry if my thread was at all upsetting to anyone with a DSD. My hope was to raise awareness and also encourage people to realize that there is a huge amount of diversity out there and to encourage them to be kinder. If it didn’t read that way I sincerely apologize.

It didn't read that way, maybe you could delete it or correct it? This is my (simple) reply to a Prof retweeting your thread ...https://twitter.com/RaeUK/status/1269996172292358145 …
Aphrodite's Offspring added,
Thanks for sharing this. I will read more about what is going on. The thread was written in December. I’ll have to read up more on what’s happening now. If you happen to have more info from people on twitter feel free to DM.
These are TERFs trying to hijack the conversation from the mainstream intersex activism community, fwiw You can tell because they use the abbreviation "DSD" even though 50 intersex orgs signed a joint statement in 2019 expressing opposition to the termhttps://ihra.org.au/35299/joint-statement-icd-11/ …
There's a core clique of social media TERFs centered around Claire Graham ("MRKHVoice", "IntersexFacts") trying to astroturf this shit but they are in clear political opposition to what consensus exists among actual intersex activists and organizations
Again, you can tell because the two big watershed position papers that resulted from major international gatherings of intersex organizations, the Malta Declaration and the Darlington Statement, explicitly oppose enacting a medically determined sex binary in law
See here: https://oiieurope.org/malta-declaration/ … And here: https://ihra.org.au/darlington-statement/ … These are not ambiguous statements, they explicitly call for a system of universal self-ID for "M/F" on legal documents and reject medical definitions for any legal categorization
People you're talking to like @RaeUK throw up a ton of chaff about this but they are very clearly in opposition to the consensus of the intersex community, in favor of the concept of "sex-based rights" as imagined by primarily non-intersex "gender critical feminists" (TERFs)
And they completely ignore the existence of trans intersex people.
