@RFKHumanRights @KerryKennedyRFK, I read your statement, ref @jk_rowling, with mounting shock and horror.
In your wild dash to kneel at the altar of bigotry, you chose to take along intersex as your sacrificial lamb - like so many have done before you. 1/

The science is indeed & #39;clear and concise& #39; - biological sex in humans is a dimorphic binary and intersex proves that. In fact, our medical conditions are sex specific which is how we can be diagnosed. By perpetuating the myth that sex isn& #39;t binary, you other us 2/
and feed directly into a climate of Intersex Genital Mutilation. Our blood is on your hands.

You link to an article by Fausto-Sterling who, in her own right, has caused us so much damage. This is the person who used our often traumatic medical conditions to & #39;prove& #39; there were 3/
three, four, five, even six, other sexes. She later admitted that was a & #39;joke& #39;. Sadly, we& #39;ve suffered the indignity of being seen as non-humans ever since.

But even worse, if such were possible, you use the phrase & #39;the sex assigned at birth& #39;. Clearly, you don& #39;t care that nobody is & #39;assigned a sex at birth& #39; except for those babies born with extreme 5/
But even worse, if such were possible, you use the phrase & #39;the sex assigned at birth& #39;. Clearly, you don& #39;t care that nobody is & #39;assigned a sex at birth& #39; except for those babies born with extreme 5/
genital ambiguity. It is intersex terminology and a synonym for IGM.
Let me be clear, NO other babies have EVER been & #39;assigned a sex at birth& #39;. That you are willing to perpetuate this myth is truly sickening. Our pain, trauma, and bloodshed, are not badges for endosex people. 6/

You demean, denigrate, and dismiss us and all we have endured and continue to endure.
You& #39;re welcome to your personal opinion of @jk_rowling, though it& #39;s clear you have not read or understood what she has said - despite quoting her extensively.

All you have achieved is to tarnish the reputation of the organisation you lead. /end
