> However their existence more often used as a weapon in discourse on adjacent topics like gender and identity but not necessarily specifically intersex.

Morally speaking, which is worse: weaponizing the fictional non-existence of intersex people to attack transgender people, some of whom are intersex; or weaponizing the actual existence of intersex people to defend transgender people, some of whom are intersex?

> When was the last time someone mentioned violence when talking about handedness?

My mom was beaten for writing left-handed, and she's still alive. While that is no longer popular in the US, the tradition is alive in the world.

Just to mention it, once I learned a little more about intersex people I very much feel for them: They often need the same medication that is now restricted due to anti trans legislation. They are also caught in stupid bathroom laws.

I do believe their existence is a good reason to not pass anti trans legislation, because they are affected as well, from birth.
