It’s exactly that, literally just read to the second paragraph of the article
“There is “growing evidence that surgical interventions on intersex infants can cause lasting harm, including stigma and medical mistrust,” says the report, titled ‘Advancing Health Equity for Intersex Individuals.’”
Link aggregation and the human tendency to read headlines and make assumptions about what the content could possibly be, when it’s literally right there, is mind boggling. This didn’t have a paywall or even an adblocker nag
I don’t understand. Do you mean the article or my reply?
The article is saying that
My reply is frankly because I think that a lot of harm has come from people assuming context from inflammatory headlines. How much bullshit narrative about transgender people is believed because dipshits go on reddit, read the byline “trans people are x” and then skip the entire article of nuance in favor of their cognitive bias?
I did actually read the article shortly after commenting, but had good reason to believe they would be talking about infants anyway as I’ve some knowledge on the topic. However, the article isn’t very clear that it’s the parents making the decision on behalf of their infant, and reads a bit like the doctors are going ahead and mutilating babies without anyone’s consent. Not that I find it’s any better that parents are consenting on behalf of their children for non-medically necessary surgery.
