Intersex people offer quite the conundrum for conservatives, who use "there's only two genders" as a purity test:
Either someone with a Y chromosome is a woman, or there are men that are capable of giving birth
Bigots aren't bothered by having inconsistent beliefs. They start at the conclusion "in group: good. Out group: bad." And will generate whatever argument they need to on the fly to keep that true.
If you really get under the hood on what this type of person believe, you get some truly wild theories about Intersex people.
Everything from outright denialism to eugenics to mystical "this person must have been cursed by an evil witch" presumptions.
However you slice it, though, Intersex people are even more viciously dehumanized than your run of the mill LGBTQ.
ITS NOT A TUMAH
