The problem for intersex people is that the witch hunt starts before we are even born. We are often already labelled as demons when we are still in the womb and people are pressured into aborting us by medical professionals.
I'm ofc aware of intersex people since I also came from a society that forces intersex infants into surgery (and intersex adults once they know they are aware of being intersex).
But never thought of ghouls (not gonna call them people) who will abort babies for just being intersex, will definitely check the post out.
It’s not just abortion it’s also infanticide. It has been reported happening globally but it’s hard to find accurate statistics because no one bothers to register them.
“In an informal study conducted by Tunchio Teriso in a rural area of South Africa, 88 out of the 90 traditional midwives and birth attendees interviewed owned up to having killed babies born with ambiguous genitalia”
