Been cited this paper twice. You do know the guy is just a psychologist and his views are widely discredited and controversial- papers existing isn't fact, it has to be from credible, peer reviewed studies.
Here is the thing... if you have hundreds of experts working in a field, they pay to publish studies in credible journals- and their data, methods and conclusions are brutally... BRUTALLY reviewed by their peers.
That all works together to ensure that science and medicine progresses through proof and process.
Bingo The Clown-o can publish whatever the fuck they like but without that approval process, the things within are meaningless.
This paper is written by a man who firmly believes there are two genders, and makes obviously false blanket statements without backing them up.
This isn't a paper as much as an opinion.
Amazingly, opinions aren't facts.
It has one purpose, to take the huge number of intersex people and whittle it down by making ridiculous statements about what can and can't be defined as intersex.
His first target, Klinefelters syndrome, is where a person presents with XXY chromosomes.
The writer states it isn't intersex.
My dude, by every medical definition it is.
The goal of this paper is simple, remove the intersex voice. It is a direct attack on our existence with the purpose of pushing the TERF agenda.
It isn't based on peer reviewed science. And it is not by a credible source.

The art of #gameart asset making is selling an illusion of something to a player using as little resources as possible.
The important part here is selling an illusion. We don't make trees... we arrange some polys and pixels and code into something that conjures a tree mentally
As game artists we aren't making real things, we are just communicating gameplay elements to players.
@UberEats we have one restaurant listing itself as around ten or more restaurants. They all have the exact same menu. It is making searching a nightmare trying to avoid the aliases "that bao place" has.
Do you have any policies in place to stop this?
Its Bao station
Planta vegan
Laksa Shack
Shizuku Ramen

The list goes on and on. This makes searching impossible and drowns out other restaurants.
Being openly intersex and travelling the world talking to game developers, who have a high proportion of LGBTIQA+ members as an industry, I have had the privilege of having developers feel that they can open up to me about their struggles with things like being intersex.
The chats I have had are magical. Moments where people say "I was alone, I didn't know there were others like me in the industry".
Every time this happens it chips away at my own feelings of alienation and otherness.
One thing every intersex person who I have met is that they are extremely accepting of other LGBTIQA+ people. They get what it is like to be othered, and they are invariably kind, supportive people.
I have yet to meet a single intersex person who is transphobic or homophobic.
Cancelling student loans isn't about individual recompense, it is a FUNDAMENTAL change to improve society by removing a crushing burden that affects everyone.
Education should prepare you for your future, not destroy you before you begin.
I paid off my student debt. I paid off the loans I got by working on a garbage truck at ungodly hours of the morning, scrubbing myself for hours to get the smell out.
I don't care that others will have theirs cancelled.
I don't want anyone else to have to go through that.
Education should be service to all society, paid for by all tax payers as it benefits everyone.
Education should not a money making scheme
Private schools should be banned. Student loans should be banned.
Student debt forgiven and wiped clear.
It affects us all.
