Anyway, transphobes are always, without a doubt, intersexphobic as well.

Think about it this way: A peri cis straight guy finds out that the girl he’s dating is intersex and happens to have a penis or testicles etc. – He gets angry at her for ‘lying’, throwing transmisogynist slurs at her, physical violence etc. Do you really think he’s going to stop his violence if the girl says “Actually I’m not a trans woman, I’m intersex”?

The answer is no. Because, let’s be honest, cisgender and perisex people literally could not give two shits about the difference. They do not care. We violate the sex binary simply by existing, thus our existence is a threat to them.

Intersex people are at risk of violence from people who uphold the sex binary, just like trans people are at risk of violence from people who uphold the gender binary – the sex binary and gender binary go hand-in-hand, and that leads to an overlap in our oppression. And we’re at higher risk of violence if we’re both intersex and trans.

But the underlying ideology relies on the other to uphold itself as a system of oppression. You cannot be intersexphobic without being transphobic, and you cannot be transphobic without being intersexphobic as well.
