Hi there, Digi. First, since you want to support intersexed people's rights, you should know that most such people prefer to use the term "intersexed" instead of "hermaphrodite," which is often considered a slur; "hermy" is definitely going to be read and understood as a slur. So, please make a note of it, and when we're talking about intersexed people here I'm going to ask you to use that term from now on. As you know, it's a sign of respect and care to call people by the names they like, and doesn't show respect to do otherwise.

Second, no, it doesn't seem like they're even aware of the issue at all. As stated above, it looks like this bill is basically aimed right at transgendered people who don't "pass."
