However the majority of intersex persons do not change gender - they stay with the gender of rearing. <br /><br />I do not think that Garrison is at all intersex. However even if she were it would not change the moral implications of her actions.Zagriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15124379637664963835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6712640935255311366.post-82321033051671693692014-08-23T18:54:01.997-04:002014-08-23T18:54:01.997-04:00I wonder if Miss Garrison is intersex, not transge...I wonder if Miss Garrison is intersex, not transgender. That might explain the "medical condition" cited on her name-change petition, and it might also explain why her birth certificate lists her as male. While not common, it isn't unheard of for intersex individuals to be a little more socially conservative. Because it's a complicated subject, it doesn't surprise me that Miss Garrison avoids talking about it in interviews.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00913432870595227603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6712640935255311366.post-17195129073774935782011-11-20T22:30:03.787-05:002011-11-20T22:30:03.787-05:00If, in fact, Garrison was born a male and is now f...If, in fact, Garrison was born a male and is now female, and has since allied with an anti-trans organization, I think its pathetic. Its unfortunate that people have to be closeted or choose to be closeted about their sexuality or gender status, but its disgusting to be gay or transgendered and fight against LGBT causes and organizations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
