According to Planned Parenthood, which estimates that 1-2 out of 100 (not 10,000) people are born intersex, surgeries are often performed on intersex children to make them conform to one sex or the other. I have the feeling that Rick Scott and his ilk are fine with those surgeries on minors.

I've tried to educate a friend of mine who is LGBTQ friendly but is really hung up on 'there are only two sexes' and 'trans girls in sports is unfair'. We work in animal science are studying a bull who is XX (genotypically female) and phenotypically male, but intersex really, trying to learn if there's a genetic cause, and I hope this example made her question her certainty on these issues.
