In response to a line of questioning from Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh concerning how gender-affirming care impacts fertility (one argument in favor of bans is that trans kids might face fertility issues later in life), U.S. Solicitor General Prelogar argues that fertility issues, while prevalent in transgender care, not only have solutions but are found in treatments allowed by S.B. 1, such as invasive surgeries on intersex infants.Intersex individuals who have genitalia that do not align with expectations for what male and female genitalia should look like are often subject to invasive surgeries as infants, often completely restricting their ability to ever have children due to forced conformity to what they are believed to look like. Many anti-transgender policies across the country, including S.B. 1, contain provisions allowing gender-affirming care to be given to intersex minors, in spite of advocates wanting restrictions on mandatory conforming surgeries and care.Many intersex individuals also identify as transgender, linking these issues intrinsically in how theyre talked about.This is just one update in a bigger story.
