i guess i gave them a more charitable framing of their comment like: “there are many possible states of being intersex; individuals of all sexes can find themselves anywhere on the gender spectrum regardless of sex”

without hearing what they meant, both your framing and mine are valid given such a short comment i just didn’t immediately see yours at first. cheers 🥂

For what it's worth thanks for giving me the benefit of the doubt. Given that this whole post is about trans folks I think sex, sexuality, and gender are all applicable topics (with gender spectrum focal when talking about trans). I do understand the difference. To defend the person who wants clarification, perhaps I could have framed it better and I'll change it to "and the gender spectrum" instead of "on the gender spectrum". It's one word and what is meant is pretty apparent to anyone who reads the article or looks at the expanded graphic - which addresses concepts of sex, sexuality, and gender and explicitly uses the term "gender spectrum" when talking about trans choices/identity.

no problem! language is the key thing that trans people need to understand and represent themselves and so any and all discussion towards modeling language to support that need is a positive :)
