"But Only 2% Of The Population Is Intersex. It's Not That Common. Why Should We Reframe Or Perception

"But only 2% of the population is intersex. It's not that common. Why should we reframe or perception of gender for intersex people?"

Completely ignoring the fact that empathy exists. You do realize that 2% of the population in the medical field is considered very common, yes?

2% of children and 0.5% of adults have a peanut allergy and that's so common that they have entire rules around in in public spaces.

0.24-1% of the population has Rheumatoid arthritis. That's an eighth to a half of the number of intersex people!

1-2% of people are estimated to have autism, and that's considered a common condition.

0.1%-2.6% of people will get melanoma in their life time, and that's considered common.

1.2% of people have epilepsy and that's considered common.

Completely ignoring statistics like 6% of women have PCOS (which is a condition that can fall under the intersex umbrella). 2% of the population in the medical field is considered a common condition, and ergo by medical terms intersex is in itself common.

I don't think you realize how big 2% is. That's 2 in 100 people. If you walk into 3 fully filled classrooms (when I was in school a full classroom was 40 students). Chances are you just saw 2 intersex kids and didn't even know it.

So yeah. I think intersex is common enough to include in our discussions around gender and how transphobic rules affects intersex people.

I think it would just be funny if DC made like a HBO Max show or something that’s just the misadventures of their Magic Users.

Like, Zatanna would instantly be the main character, objectively. Her thing could be that she just wants to like- be a regular stage magician but is constantly bombarded with random magic issues.

By association John Constantine would be the acting duo protagonist. I firmly believe he should just be Zatanna’s annoying ex who randomly shows up on her couch. Probably has similar development to his Legends of Tomorrow show counterpart.

Then it’s probably the magic user of the week who summoned an elder god or something. Characters like Ragman and Dr. Fate probably deserve a few focus episodes. There would probably be some magic Atlantan artifact or something that would introduce King Shark. Mainly just to have a romantic plot with John.

Raven and Shazam would weasel their way into “main” character status. Zee and John would probably like- accidentally start raising like a 15-ish Raven, sort of, cuz of the whole Trigon thing. They would probably fight him in a season finale type deal or something.

Billy would just be the biggest chaotic force in the show, would probably have some really amusing scenes as Shazam before he lets them know he’s like barely 14.

Billy would probably bring the seven deadly sins as a plot line with him. So they probably travel to Hell and face/meet them one at a time, working their way to Mammon. Maybe Zatanna gets a cool succubus gf like Chantinelle down there I don’t know.
