@sallyt I think I misread your tone, but I'm going to leave my above reply as a testament to everyone making mistakes sometimes. Congrats on finding such a great doctor!

@XO83766320 @DaysGoByGoBy @WSeasonschange @dullinterest @321_cheese @Minastet @MarkR68679279 @Kevrollie @OliLondonTV @jk_rowling @CAISFiles Not a guy, thanks for misgendering me. I never said anyone didn't need a diagnosis; I pointed out that people tend to notice themselves when something is off and seek medical advice, *leading to an official diagnosis* -- with some CCSDs as well as with other conditions.

@DaysGoByGoBy @WSeasonschange @dullinterest @321_cheese @Minastet @MarkR68679279 @Kevrollie @OliLondonTV @jk_rowling No, I'm pointing out that the semicolon in the study in question was what was meant to tell you not to add 16 when you already had 100, in case the basic arithmetic baffled you.

@DaysGoByGoBy @WSeasonschange @dullinterest @321_cheese @Minastet @MarkR68679279 @Kevrollie @OliLondonTV @jk_rowling You've linked to or screenshotted lots of things, yes, but none of them back up your claim without you bending over backwards to extrapolate from the data given. Just because SOME people who ID as intersex DON'T have a CCSD does NOT mean that MOST don't.

@DaysGoByGoBy @WSeasonschange @dullinterest @321_cheese @Minastet @MarkR68679279 @Kevrollie @OliLondonTV @jk_rowling @CAISFiles I didn't say no people exist who call themselves "intersex" without having a CCSD. YOU claimed MOST people who call themselves "intersex" DO NOT have a CCSD. Extraordinary claims require proof.

@DaysGoByGoBy @WSeasonschange @dullinterest @321_cheese @Minastet @MarkR68679279 @Kevrollie @OliLondonTV @jk_rowling It's called a semi-colon, Alex / Lexi.

@DaysGoByGoBy @WSeasonschange @dullinterest @321_cheese @Minastet @MarkR68679279 @Kevrollie @OliLondonTV @jk_rowling @CAISFiles Still waiting on that proof of "most".

@patte_oreilly @OliLondonTV @jk_rowling Another one who doesn't know what a subset -- or a dictionary -- is. JKR can barely talk about trans women *without* demonizing them.

@Jackabug @OliLondonTV @jk_rowling firstly, you are the one calling people a subset...major fail and secondly ZERO example of JK Rowling demonising anyone.

@DaysGoByGoBy @WSeasonschange @dullinterest @321_cheese @Minastet @MarkR68679279 @Kevrollie @OliLondonTV @jk_rowling @CAISFiles There are still CCSDs that don't manifest until puberty, so it's entirely possible for the person affected to notice first and then seek a diagnosis. That doesn't make their eventual diagnosis invalid. Your intelligence is not what I'm mocking.

@DaysGoByGoBy @WSeasonschange @dullinterest @321_cheese @Minastet @MarkR68679279 @Kevrollie @OliLondonTV @jk_rowling DSD was proposed and implemented by medical professionals, largely without consulting the people affected. It's like with disability: It was pronounced that we should all say "person with a disability" not "disabled person", yet many PWDs prefer to call ourselves disabled people.

@DaysGoByGoBy @WSeasonschange @dullinterest @321_cheese @Minastet @MarkR68679279 @Kevrollie @OliLondonTV @jk_rowling Affected + caregivers = 100%. Of that 100%, 16% identified as non-binary. It isn't clear how many, if any, of that 16% were in the caregiver category. It IS clear that the 16% can't be added to either affected or caregivers, because they've already been counted.

@DaysGoByGoBy @WSeasonschange @dullinterest @321_cheese @Minastet @MarkR68679279 @Kevrollie @OliLondonTV @jk_rowling @CAISFiles "A smaller proportion of respondents - about one in 10 - say there was no medical determination of them being intersex." If you mean the ones who noticed their bodies were different on their own, that's not inconsistent with then seeking and receiving a diagnosis. Numbers hard!

@DaysGoByGoBy @WSeasonschange @dullinterest @321_cheese @Minastet @MarkR68679279 @Kevrollie @OliLondonTV @jk_rowling Four examples does not in any way constitute proof that MOST people identifying as intersex do not have a CCSD diagnosis. You made a wild claim. Back it up or back down.

@DaysGoByGoBy @WSeasonschange @dullinterest @321_cheese @Minastet @MarkR68679279 @Kevrollie @OliLondonTV @jk_rowling Participants were principally from Poland, Sweden, France, Germany, & the Netherlands -- not countries ever colonized by England. We're talking about what to call this group of people *in English*, that's why it's relevant. "Intersex" is a label preferred by many affected people.

@DaysGoByGoBy @WSeasonschange @dullinterest @321_cheese @Minastet @MarkR68679279 @Kevrollie @OliLondonTV @jk_rowling I have no objection to CCSD (inasmuch as I have a say) other than that, at present, it doesn't seem like most of the people it's meant to refer to are even aware of it and thus haven't had the chance to decide whether to adopt it or not.

@DaysGoByGoBy @WSeasonschange @dullinterest @321_cheese @Minastet @MarkR68679279 @Kevrollie @OliLondonTV @jk_rowling "Most of those identifying as 'intersex' are not intersex" [CITATION NEEDED]

@DaysGoByGoBy @WSeasonschange @dullinterest @321_cheese @Minastet @MarkR68679279 @Kevrollie @OliLondonTV @jk_rowling Numbers are numbers. I don't understand why you find them confusing.

@DaysGoByGoBy @WSeasonschange @dullinterest @321_cheese @Minastet @MarkR68679279 @Kevrollie @OliLondonTV @jk_rowling Yes, but your study was primarily not of native English speakers. And the percentage who disliked "intersex" was still a minority even if you add up all the black bars. Why are you opposed to letting people choose their own labels?

@DaysGoByGoBy @WSeasonschange @dullinterest @321_cheese @Minastet @MarkR68679279 @Kevrollie @OliLondonTV @jk_rowling Some people with DSDs, who identify as intersex and have a variety of specific diagnoses, like "intersex" precisely because it is an umbrella term. One needn't have the exact same diagnosis to advocate against e.g. a vaginoplasty being done on a three-year-old.

@WSeasonschange @KatieInBoston1 @dullinterest @321_cheese @Minastet @MarkR68679279 @Kevrollie @OliLondonTV @jk_rowling @DaysGoByGoBy Okay, what does that have to do with your reading comprehension (or lack thereof)?

@patte_oreilly @OliLondonTV @jk_rowling Except that yes she does.

@Jackabug @OliLondonTV @jk_rowling except she does not demonise anyone...
