... and even that was a high number from previous studies...
For their study, the researchers analyzed data on nearly 14,200 newborns. Of those, 18 had ambiguous genitalia. That's a rate of 1.3 in 1,000 births -- much higher than the rate of one in 4,500 to 5,500 reported in previous studies, Aydin said in a news release from The Endocrine Society.
Wait a minute... the Endocrine Society? This is the same group using high school boys to take semen samples and measure their testicular volume, penile length, and anogenital (AGD) distances for some nonsense study about Teflon and reproduction? OMG...
Reminds me of the idiots who use to tie a child's left hand to the underneath of their desk so they couldn't use it to write, forcing them to learn to be right handed.
Millions of us have lived with left handedness for decades without many issues (steno in high school was a problem because although left handed, I don't write with my hand upside down like most lefties).
What if you're born a hermaphrodite? About 1.7% of the population is born with atypical gender. It is extremely rare, but a birth defect nonetheless. How do you decide at birth if that child is male or female if you have both gonadal and ovarian tissue? Reproduction is not a perfect process. Gender identity can be determined later. In a perfect world, people are born either male or female. In a perfect world people are born straight. But we don't live in that perfect world.
I spoke before of this odd creature that I went to high school with. She was large, with large hands and looked like a boy in a dress. Back in the 50's there was little knowledge of what to do with babies who were born with both sexual features, and they were typically assigned to be male.
Read about androgen insensitivity syndrome. Gender is determined when a child is old enough to relate to their sexuality.
We have to stop stigmatizing people who are born different. Science has the answers, not prejudices and ideologies.
0.018% of people are born intersex. The 1.7% number comes from a laughable study that is only referenced these days by activists seeking to misrepresent reality.
CNN's Devan Cole says “It’s not possible to know a person’s gender identity at birth, and there is no consensus criteria for assigning sex at birth." Cole also goes on to say that it is "transphobic" to say that there is a difference between biological women and a transgender woman and that the term "biological sex" is a disputed term that possibly doesn't exist in reality.
The left is once again pushing us to deny science and slanders anyone who doesn't with a derogatory term of "transphobic" to silence them for fear of cancel culture.

I think that CNN is to the left what Alex Jones is to the right.
