Color me surprised 😑
This party has a serious issue with trying to fuck children. He's not the first or last disgusting pos I've heard about doing this.
Heck one of Trump's pardons was arrested soon after he was out for doing his gross child predator shit.
But y'all care about children so much you want them to be literally forced to be born (guess cos your victims are getting "too old) to molest them, psychologically abuse them and even roll back child labor laws.
Of course Florida's DeathSantis, who is another republican child lover, is working hard in bringing the good old days of exploitive child labor ❤️.
Don't let Republicans distract you with gimmicky culture war bills. Republican policies are making Americans' lives shorter and worse in every conceivable way.
So we're clear, we are well past constitutional crisis at this point, this is literally the soft coup, the only stage left is when they start ignoring the lawyer and arrest (or worse) anyone who is trying to stop them.

Its kind of ridiculous how difficult it is to find critical intersex literature if you don't know where to look.
That said, here are frequently cited things I've found. For the one's that are behind paywalls, I have a Google Drive folder set up to hold them for access. The only things I leave behind a paywall are books by individual authors. They are not organized at all, I'm sorry.

Oh believe me, I have a similar issue with my parents. They force me to be "social" i can't handle it, my aggravation shows and they scold ,e and expect me to stay in control. At this time, I AM 35 YEARS OLD, suffering from this all my life and they act surprised it still happens?!?!
I think some of you forgot that autistic people sometimes act strange and say things that are poorly worded and speak with incorrect tone and misunderstand or miss social cues because they are autistic
