The perpetration of such harm against intersex and transsexual people is a major sociological problem at present.<br /><br />If a diagnosis of AIS for Nikki Araguz is confirmed by DNA analysis, her condition is indeed different from, and an exception to "mainstream transgender" people, for a long list of reasons. If her AIS is confirmed, there is a good chance her case could be legally different from Littleton.<br /><br />Also, anyone who has a question about their genetic condition should approach their physician about getting DNA analysis. With today's sophisticated DNA analysis techniques there isn't any way for a person to fake having a genetic intersex condition because people have facilities to confirm such a diagnosis, or its lack of existence.delgadovaraguzbloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12317966702039117322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8084781108273549350.post-90673965537352014522010-09-09T21:10:14.996-07:002010-09-09T21:10:14.996-07:00I really really really want Nikki to prevail. But ...I really really really want Nikki to prevail. But for all the rest of us who were not (as far as we know) born with an intersex condition, I hope the case doesn't turn on her being some sort of "exception" to "mainstream transgender" people who don't have a diagnosed "excuse" for their "deviancy"Tammy Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04110396499164449495noreply@blogger.com
