Surgical interventions aimed at correcting “weird looking” genitals of infants are not even the worst method of “normalizing” the intersex. There are doctors who believe in starting treatment early in gestation to ensure that babies are born without any funky and unconventional sex organs. For this purpose, they give pregnant women steroids that are supposed to prevent their future babies from being intersex.
“But wait,” you will say. “How can anybody know if a fetus will turn into an intersex baby?”
And you’ll be right. Nobody can know. The absolute majority of fetuses that get doused with these steroids run no risk of being intersex. They are subjected to this drug for no reason at all. But they do run the risk of serious health consequences, including mental retardation and all kinds of disorders.
And as for those fetus receptacles that are not even human we call “pregnant women”, nobody cares about the danger of pumping them full of entirely unnecessary drugs for the dubious benefit of maybe catching a fetus that might have a slightly differently shaped genital area.
The only place where the long-term effects of this methodology were actually studied is Sweden. The results were so disturbing that the whole thing was banned immediately. In the US, however, the FDA keeps approving the treatment and the NIH keeps funding it in spite of overwhelming evidence that the pregnant women to whom this shit is administered are never warned about the dangers and are actually lied to egregiously.
