Ginger men who now identifies as a woman.

It was an answer. But since it was clearly too complex for you to understand, I'll try rephrasing it with a lower reading age.



Any civilised, non transphobic woman would want trans women to be able to partake in society.
Now you have resorted to your usual insults.

'That is what society is doing. They cannot accommodate intersex people, either politically, conceptually, economically, or religiously, so they deny they exist and even design the legal system to exclude them.'

"Suppose society really was egalitarian and could accommodate intersex people?"
Sorry Odds, I'm not sure of your reason for the post.
....

That is what society is doing. They cannot accommodate intersex people, either politically, conceptually, economically, or religiously, so they deny they exist and even design the legal system to exclude them.
It first became a legal requirement to register births as Male or Female in 1837, and even before that registration was legally required.

Suppose society really was egalitarian and could accommodate intersex people?
For sure some additional toilet, changing, prison, hospital, etc places would be needed. Some laws would need addressing.
For sure sexual perverts would still exist, and just like criminals anywhere and everywhere will seek weaknesses in the legal systems, just like voyeurs, exhibitionists, abusers, rapists, etc do already.

But sod that, it would be too expensive, too controversial, to accommodate intersex people, let's continue to exclude them, deny they exist, use pseudoscientific arguments, and legislate to make their "disappearance" legal.
And we'll continue with the "normalising" surgical procedures, the mental health problems created and the legal limbo experienced by hundreds of thousands of people, and the bigotry and stigmatisation associated with intersex and transexuals.
Is that really the kind of society we want?
If your post was a question, I'd already skipped over the societal consequences of a truly egalitarian society, but only in reference to intersex.
But I suspect your post was more of a signpost, a kind of "it's supposed to be egalitarian already, but it's not."
Which would quite justifiably generate a new discussion.
If I entered into such a discussion I would find myself quoting whole extracts from Nasrine Malik's book, "We Need New Stories".
Especially Chapter 1.
I think it was morqthana who mentioned her article in the Guardian recently. I can recommend it, and her book as a serious, thought inspiring read.
So perhaps you'd be better informed to read it from the horse's mouth, so to speak.
It's not a discussion of how society would be different it were truly egalitarian, more an expose of why it's not egalitarian despite the myth that it is.
I think a discussion of how an egalitarian world would look would be more of a utopian novel. I think most readers are aware of the faults in such utopian, science fiction novels, and how they are not and never were egalitarian anyway.
 
A lot of them are just men dressing up in women's clobber to get into the wrong toilet, dont ya know
How very dare you! You'll now get a screenful of diversity cobblers from one of the two resident do-gooders that doesn't address the issue.

Intersex people exist. In very small numbers. Much larger numbers of attention-seeking confused people have aligned themselves with what was once a deserving cause. The whole thing's got really ridiculous, especially for those who are genuinely intersex, who are now associated with drag-queens and a bunch of other assorted clowns.

I once worked with a woman who had big hands. She was fine, we got on well. Everyone knew the situation, nobody made a big deal, everything was fine. She didn't blow any trumpets, life just carried on.
