There are no pros to genital mutilation of intersex people. Implying that there are in the book is absurd.
Hello,
I just read the draft and am really happy that you are making it and that i have the possibility to learn from it. Only recently i have started questioning ideas about sex and gender (in german we don't even have separate words for it, which makes it even more complicated to express and understand that there is a difference).
Simplifying my experience, i find myself in spaces where either being queer is accepted consensus and i am afraid to talk because i am just starting to learn about all this and haven't heard of some things or don't understand things or find myself confirming learned gender roles; or in spaces where people think i am crazy when i say that sex and gender is not the same, or questioning that 'girls are like this and boys do this', where i also feel very insecure because even though i feel strongly about these things i am just figuring it out and still feel confused, so that i find it hard to clearly articulate myself and to be able to defend my positions.
The point i want to make with this long sentence is that i am really thankful for this kind of material from you trying to explain things simply and sensitive. It makes me a bit more confident and hopefully more sensitive towards others too. You saying that it matters most how i identify myself, my body, my gender, my sexuality – i guess i heard that before but it wasn't so clear to me. That is amazing!
Thank you for your amazing work - i look forward to the whole book :)
