Should There Be Only Two Sexes?

from Modern Feminist Manifesto by Nyentek

/

lyrics

“It is maddening to listen to discussions of five genders when every sane person knows there are but two sexes, both of which are rooted in nature.”

Stop infant genital surgery
If we protest the genital mutilation of other cultures, then we must also protest our own
Infant genital surgery is cosmetic surgery performed to achieve a social result, and it does not work
Early genital surgery leaves long-term scars, requires further surgeries, and frequently negates the possibility of orgasm

Stop infant genital surgery
If we protest the genital mutilation of other cultures, then we must also protest our own
Infant genital surgery is cosmetic surgery performed to achieve a social result, and it does not work
Early genital surgery leaves long-term scars, requires further surgeries, and frequently negates the possibility of orgasm

Stop infant genital surgery
Stop infant genital surgery
Let there be no unnecessary infant surgery
Let physicians assign a provisional sex to the infant
Let the medical care team provide full information and long-term counseling to the parents and to the child
Let there be no unnecessary infant surgery
Let physicians assign a provisional sex to the infant
Let the medical care team provide full information and long-term counseling to the parents and to the child

Two of nine reports never state criteria for success
Four emphasize cosmetic criteria
Only one considers psychological health or does long-term follow up
Children adjust to the presence of anomalous genitalia and manage to develop into successful, functional adults

No woman or man fits the universal gender stereotype
No woman or man fits the universal gender stereotype
No woman or man fits the universal gender stereotype
No woman or man fits the universal gender stereotype

Let there be no unnecessary infant surgery
Let physicians assign a provisional sex to the infant
Let the medical care team provide full information and long-term counseling to the parents and to the child
Let there be no unnecessary infant surgery
Let physicians assign a provisional sex to the infant
Let the medical care team provide full information and long-term counseling to the parents and to the child

No woman or man fits the gender stereotype
No woman or man fits the gender stereotype
No woman or man fits the gender stereotype
No woman or man fits the gender stereotype

Stop infant genital surgery
Stop infant genital surgery
Stop infant genital surgery
Stop infant genital surgery
Stop infant genital surgery
Stop infant genital surgery
Stop infant genital surgery
Stop infant genital surgery
Stop infant genital surgery
Stop infant genital surgery
Stop infant genital surgery
Stop infant genital surgery

It is possible to envision a new ethic of medical treatment, one that permits ambiguity to thrive, rooted in a culture that has moved beyond gender hierarchies
