That's obviously not true, because what happened to jazz is pretty much from that exact same playbook - it's just based on toddler behavior instead of physical traits. Sure, you could argue that it was less the parents distress abut jazz being girly, and more about making a quick buck from the get go, but then you also have stories like that shapley (shipley?, shappley?) kid from texas and his insane fundie christian mom, who literally tried to spank the gay out of him before deciding to just troon him. Basically, for the jazz-type kids it's very much the same, the problem are the hons, who claim to be intersex in some vague way and do it for them coom - those are different. The transkids were done dirty like the intersex kids - it's predicated on the same idea: cutting harmless non-conformity out.Their struggle is really not the same as the troon struggle no matter how much troons would like it to be that way.
Also pills you on just HOW insanely misogynist even the roots of the idea are, it's all a castration fetish. Just so men don't get afraid of someone even having a clit vaguely approaching just the smallest penis in size - it's insane to think this flew under the radar and was allowed to snowball into what it is now.That's from the 80s, as an awareness piece about what was being done. Babies who were deemed to have clitoromegaly or a micropenis with genital ambiguity were "trimmed down", which frequently lead to a complete destruction of the erogenous zones and incontinence, just to make them "fit". It was appalling.
Thanks you so much for posting that graph, I remembered it constantly, but didn't manage to find the study I saw it in. But the intersex society is good enough for now.
