Intersex activist Alicia Roth Weigel explains the nuanced relationship between advocating for transgender people in a hostile climate and standing up for intersex individuals who have long been ignored. She shares the ways that transgender advocacy unintentionally harms intersex people and why they should stand together. "The same bills that target transgender kids and say, 'Don't offer gender-affirming care to transgender kids,' they all contain specific written loopholes that say you can continue to force the same 'care' on intersex kids," she said. Roth Weigel details the non-consensual medical interventions performed on intersex youth, which often are the same treatments being denied to transgender children like hormone therapy and surgeries. "They don't think trans kids are normal, so they say block this care from them that they desperately need in order to survive," she told Salon. "They also don't think intersex kids are normal, so they say force those same procedures onto intersex kids so that they look more normal to us."
