“Doctors often claim there’s a “silent majority” of intersex people satisfied with the way they were treated as young patients.  I used to be part of this “silent majority” – but was certainly not happy.  Doctors draw this false conclusion because most of their young patients haven’t returned as adults to complain. But their silence is just as likely to be caused by stigma and shame. Its time to end the silence and invisibility of what is actually a traumatized and violated majority.”
