Excellent piece by an intersex activist which I saw after posting this:

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/23/opinion/trump-transgender-memo-intersex.html

Also -- in a horrible and cynical manner, I wonder if there are some representatives/legislators who will be thoroughly into the memo's goal of shitting all over trans people, but who might think twice when the impact on intersex people is pointed out, because "they can't help it".

Aside from the impact on intersex people being equally deserving of consideration anyway, obviously.

I mean, I suspect that they'll probably just refuse to believe intersex people exist at all because it breaks their very limited understanding of human biology, but, yanno, anything's worth a shot.
