I would humbly beg GC feminists who are not experts in sexual development and differentiation - even if otherwise very qualified / medical or general biology background to not assert themselves too much in the caster conversation. This is a deeply pai bf uk convo
We. All. Have. Biases. All of us GCs are tired and worn out, angry and we know intersex conditions and fungibility of male/female classification has been used against us. I get the impulse to stand our ground. But please. This convo is insanely difficult. Have it offline
In this we do need to practice restraint. Maybe the GC biologists insisting on highlighting caster as XY are right. Maybe Caster’s socialisation should ms take precedence. Either way we need to do better by intersex people. We need to be a bit more cautious in how we communicate
Yes, ‘be kind and be polite’ has been weaponised against us. We don’t want to ever give ground again, we got dragged over the coals for it. But people with DSDs are largely unaware. And they’re always pawned. They deserve better than GC’s being insensitive. Please
