      For the record, the Darlington Statement (an attempt at a consensus statement among intersex orgs and activists in 2017) says the opposite of this One of its core action items is to end the practice of legal sex classification, for everyonehttps://darlington.org.au/statement/

      Thank you for adding this. I was extending solidarity on a personal basis to someone who was kind enough to share her own experience and expectations & brave enough to make her trauma public. If it’s vital for anyone to declare sex classification that’s true for @AlexAlicit too

      The Darlington Statement is also violated regularly by people insisting on a "third sex marker" being enforced. I would also like to bring attention to the Malta Declaration, which stresses exactly what I pointed to.https://intersexday.org/en/malta-declaration/ …

      The Malta Declaration is the one that proposed a "third sex" category in the first place, the Darlington Statement, which came four years later, amends this by saying this is a bad solution and there should be no enforced legal categories at all

      Replying to @arthur_affect @AlexAlicit and

      The Darlington Statement is the one that's more "radical" - the direction of movement has clearly been of greater opposition to medical gatekeeping and categorization, *against* the idea that "all intersex people can and must be defined as objectively male or female"

      Replying to @arthur_affect @eyelidlessness and

      The Malta Declaration specifically states that all intersex children are raised as male or female, while acknowledging they may identify as another sex. Whereas the Darlington Statement has been twisted into an idea of implying sex is a spectrum and that "sex should be abolished"

      Replying to @AlexAlicit @eyelidlessness and

      What it specifically says is that sex should not be a legal, social category on your official documentation and that your legal categorization as a citizen should be completely decoupled from your medical care

      Replying to @arthur_affect @AlexAlicit and

      For precisely the reason that coupling these two concepts together creates enormous perverse societal and personal incentives when it comes to medical care, which have nothing to do with the physical well being of the patient

      Replying to @arthur_affect @eyelidlessness and

      It's the negative social implications of gender stereotypes being conflated with sex that does harm, especially implying there's a right way to be male, or a right way to be female rather then accepting intersex people as our biological sex, then respecting what gender we ID as.

      Replying to @AlexAlicit @eyelidlessness and

      Okay, well, you're arguing with the Darlington Statement, not me There's a lot of people who've come to the conclusion that the practice of forcing people to put an M or F on their ID based on "objective medical factors" is not a salvageable one

          I'd say there's issues with it but it's less with what sex really is, and how it's perceived. Regardless I will not stand idle on the matter that "sex is a spectrum" has done serious harm, especially in my own case. Spectrum is nothing new, Prader and Quigley were founded on it.
