I just was made aware of multiple studies that show a strong connection between ADHD and generalized anesthesia for infants.
like many Intersex children I was operated on before I even have memory they do that on purpose because many doctors and families think its important for the child to properly adjust.
This is very much bullshit based on behaviorism and the "Money" method. These are a doctors who believed that you can guide someone to a path if you intervene soon enough.
Well not only did there interventions not take in my case it led to many issues including having a problem with physically being female like the only reason I have this body is because I'm a medical failure or something.
What's so infuriating is I been in such obvious denial I even had ADHD most my life and now to some to realize that my families fear of me perhaps not having clearly defined genitals by social expectations amoung all the other issues it has caused is also a part of why I have ADHD.
The overall inhumanity, why don't the medical communities or families listen to intersex people and just leave us alone until we decide what is right for our bodies.
The crisis they respond to have such devastating impact and the overwhelming majority of these operations are just cosmetic.
What's even more sick when they sell these options are they saying oh by the way your child: might not be the sex or gender we suggest, the operations will raise the likelihood of ADHD, there is a risk for sterilization, there is the ability for them to lose sensation and never orgasm, none of these operations need to be done until they had more time to develop and have a say.
You know as of right now only two hospitals in the United states banned cosmetic operations in infants. How is this something that is so clearly cruel and immoral not only going on but actively encouraged for parents to engage in.
The struggle for body autonomy and authority is real. Many individuals love to talk of parental rights over there kids but what about people who look out for the children and this very thing is why I know the so called anti trans bigots are full of it.
They want to stop people who actively seek inventions and keep them from having a say till they are dead. But these same bigots carve out every exception under the sun to ensure that intersex can still go under the knife before we can even say a word.
Do not believe anyone who tell you its about the children its not or else I wouldn't have been operated on. It is about it trying to maintain cisgender heteronormativity by any means. So for people who are born obviously outside the gender binary make them fit. For those who discover it later in life deny them access.
What's even more ironic that both trans and Intersex face the same oppression denyed the same virtue of self determination but they try to force us against one another. I for one won't fall for it and neither should anyone else.
No Intersex doesn't cause ADHD narrow minded people who violate infants right to self determination contribute to ADHD
