Comment on What is the conservative view on how intersex people should live their lives
intensely_human@lemm.ee 5 weeks agoIt’s clear that some of the most strict and punative conservative viewpoints are based on biological characteristics.
I’ve not heard any conservatives say such a thing. Where did you get this idea?

Where did I get this idea? Well, I grew up In a very conservative neighborhood in a conservative town and went to a conservative private school and church.
You’ve never heard anyone say such a thing? You are either pulling my leg or you are unable to see it for what it is.
Here are just some of the prescriptive conservative ideas based on people’s biological characteristics: who can wear what clothes, what toys are appropriate for which children, hair length, who can go into which washroom, who can get married to whom, who can play what sports, decisions about abortion, and on and on.
Why so much time and discussion devoted to trans people in conservative media? Because they break the rules on who can do what, arbitrarily based on the junk you were born with. In the case of Imane Khelif, what she was born with was not enough to shield her from controversy and harassment.
When I was a kid I wanted an easy bake oven so i could make cake and eat cake, no other reason. What I recieved was a powerful whuppin for “tryin to act like a girl.” That’s where I got that idea.
