A big issue for many intersex people is the whole "assigned a binary gender at birth when you clearly don't fit in either of them." (Yes, I know everyone loves to use "assigned gender at birth" as a shorthand for "born with a pussy" or "born with a dick," but originally it meant and still means. Well. "Assigned." As in someone looked at you and decided for you for completely arbitrary reasons.) The question them is, what's the alternative? In an ideal world, what would happen when a kid is visibly intersex at birth?

A lot of people argue for a third category for intersex kids. This has been implemented in some countries even, notably Australia and Germany.

However, according to the official intersex org of my country, having an intersex option at birth actually increased the amount of infant genital mutilations, as an active effort to not use that option- often using the argument that using that intersex option would be forcibly outing a kid as intersex, which would be deeply stigmatizing through their life, so like, might as well skip the whole thing am I right?

That was sarcasm, by the way.

So, in an ideal world, what would it be like for an intersex kid? Frankly, I think we should do away with sex markers alltogether. It does nothing good for intersex kids, nothing good for people who grow up transgenders, and frankly, what even is it for? If you go to a doctor, these guys don't need to know what's in my pants. They need to know if I have testes or an uterus. A gender marker is not gonna tell them any of that, whether the people are trans, cis, intersex or perisex.
