oh, god, i honestly assume it’s most of the editors out there. if only because most of them probably don’t know a trans person and value their careers more than they value us and we get low risk clicks.
Would I be right to assume that most/all of those 23 surgeries are for people with "Disorders of Sexual Development?" That seems to be the most current description of the phenomenon.

the number was 46 over two years and all had a prior gender dysphoria diagnosis, which isn't incongruent with intersex but idk that every intersex person that undergoes surgeries as a teen or younger but presumably at least some of them were
