I don’t understand how this is not the top answer in the thread. In my opinion this is almost the best possible answer.

Two things I have issue with: “have a relatively free market” should be “have a well-regulated market.” Obviously “well regulated” is open to interpretation, but there should be some agreement that the 2008 financial crisis was the result of insufficient market regulation.

“Be judged on their merit and the moral choices they make, not based on their biological characteristics.”

Sadly, this is a very untypical view. It’s clear that some of the most strict and punative conservative viewpoints are based on biological characteristics. Like, a lot. So much that it prompted Op’s question: where do intersex people fit into the strict conservative biological based rules on who can go where and do what?

Side stepping the real question shows that conservatives don’t really want to talk about, or know about intersex people, or anyone who isn’t the straight white heteronormative christian default. Its clear that most conservatives attitude about people who don’t fit that profile is that they should know their place, keep quiet and not be uppity.
