So what do you want to call it then? It’s not like I’m attached to the term itself, but the point is that it’s a useful and necessary concept in some contexts so there needs to be a term that refers to it, and you can’t just assume anyone who uses the most common term to describe it is transphobic.
And I never said it’s a binary, but if a person is intersex then that’s probably important information for their doctors to know because there may be certain medical complications that they’re more at risk for as a result.
Thank you, it would have been much easier to say that the first time I asked “what’s a better term if you don’t like that one?” instead of jumping off the deep end and assuming I’m just trying to be transphobic
