Have any of these organizations ever even done anything with Intersex besides adding it to the acronym? I've never seen anything LGBTQI+ (or any version of that with the I in it) that ever actually did anything for the I. All these years of including the I, most people still have no idea what the I is even all about, so even from a visibility/awareness standpoint, it was a waste of time and a failure. All that time and energy they wasted "Educating" people about pronouns, they could have educated people about a legit medical condition that real humans face, but nah.

Anyway... I remove the I, move the letters around... QTPA (Cutie-pah!) still kind of works.

Sure! They've done such wonderful things like

  • Incorrectly define the term; implying that it is hermaphroditism, "third sex", or "anyone who doesn't fit the male/female binary " and include transgender LARPers in that definition.

  • Push for concepts and even laws that harm intersex people, then say that it's a "victory for trans and intersex rights" (see: third gender legal markers)

  • Subtly, constantly, imply that trans/intersex are linked, or worse, imply that intersex people need to "choose a gender" to "transition" to.

They've done a lot for intersex people! Just nothing good.
