It is one more attack on "hetero-normativity" - in other words, normal attitudes towards sex.StormCchaserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02998174514362089471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-82215550254603373342013-11-27T08:36:21.099-07:002013-11-27T08:36:21.099-07:00This paper http://www.aissg.org/PDFs/Blackless-How...This paper http://www.aissg.org/PDFs/Blackless-How-Dimorphic-2000.pdf attempts to determine rates of intersexuality. Androgen insensitivity seems to be quite rare: 0.049 to .016/1000 male births, and .076/1000 female births. That would be 1 out of 62,500 to 1 out of 20,408 male births, and 1 out of 13,157 female births. Not all of these actually produce "externally visible intersexuaity."Clayton Cramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03258083387204776812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-60380183067692330652013-11-27T07:29:48.173-07:002013-11-27T07:29:48.173-07:00Rich: What's the rate on physical gender anoma...Rich: What's the rate on physical gender anomalies? I would be a bit surprised if it was even 0.1%.<br /><br />I have read that much of the claim of neurological gender identity was based on the work of a psychiatrist in the 1960s who was convinced that sex was entirely environmental, and used a small number of children with indeterminate genitals at birth to "prove" his point -- unsuccessfully.<br /><br />I don't doubt that there are people who have some confusion -- but the fetishists are who are benefiting from this, and forcing the rest of the society into a weird corner.Clayton Cramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03258083387204776812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-18251837019688191022013-11-27T01:43:58.885-07:002013-11-27T01:43:58.885-07:00The number of people who have genuine physical gen...The number of people who have genuine physical gender anomalies is (in absolute terms) not small. If it was only 0.1%, that would be 300,000 Americans. Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome occures in about 1 in 20,000 genetically male births, so there are about 7,500 cases in the U.S.<br /><br />Two other points.<br /><br />Much alleged gender confusion <i>is</i> fetishism and perversion, often driven by sexual abuse.<br /><br />However, there is solid evidence that there is neurological gender identity; and in some people this identity conflicts with their gross anatomy.Rich Rostromhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13262703348236110420noreply@blogger.com
