Quote of the Day

While in most babies sex is as straightforward as penis or vagina, in as many as 1.7 percent of births this is not the case.  Medical literature possibly underestimates incidence rates, given that many people do not find out they are intersex or have a difference in sexual development (DSD) until adulthood.  This happens either because only nonvisible features such as their internal organs or chromosomes exhibit this divergence, or because their parents were pressured into silence due to continued stigmatization.  If you argue that biological variations in sexual dimorphism are too rare to be of much importance, then consider that roughly one in a hundred people have bodies that differ from the "standard" male or female -- a rate that mirrors that of people with red hair.  Surely you know someone with red hair.
