Yeah, the vast majority of intersex people are just normal people. I’d even say that this shaming of physical traits is what leads to the well known machismo overcompensation.
He wasn’t intersex and didn’t necessarily have a small penis (although he did have a 1 in 10 chance), he had this:
Regardless:
A. Yes, body shaming of any kind (including dick size) is a pretty shitty tactic to stoop to.
B. I’m sure there are really awesome people with the same disorder, the degree it even causes noticable issues seems like it can vary greatly depending on other factors, and genetic discrimination itself is also a shitty tactic.
However, in the case of the man who literally justified the Holocaust by claiming he was eliminating all inferior genetics for the greater good of his country, I can’t feel bad for him, and I think this information should probably be included in all future history books.
At the very least, this information is important to keep in mind anytime fascist assholes start rambling about biology, gender, or race/ethnicity based genetics, and making up bullshit excuses to discriminate against people. For example, if a guy were to ramble about wokeness and fitness standards in the military, and say the U.S. is no longer giving women a “pass” if they can’t meet those standards, only for a different video to show the same guy struggling to do a proper pull-up vs a mother with a new born strapped to her chest showing him how it’s done, can you really feel bad for this guy if it goes viral and people throw it back at him? I can’t do a pull-up either, but I’m also not spreading propaganda on a national stage, that “certain segments of society,” just aren’t biologically programmed to have the upper body strength required to serve in the military.
It’s not that anyone should be shamed or judged based solely on physical or genetic traits, but it proves that even if you’re opposed to “wokeness,” you really should always be questioning what’s being advertised vs what you’re actually being sold. It does make me wonder if any of the current pro-eugenics/survival of the fittest/anti woke “lions among sheep” in 2025, would be willing to submit their own personal genomes and epigenomes as public record (for the greater good). Because I feel like there’s a really good chance you’d find some surprises hidden throughout their superior code.
I agree about everything except the claim that Kallman syndrome isn’t an intersex condition. The intersex umbrella includes hormonal conditions like hypogonadism. For context, biological sex is several physical traits that fall into bimodal distributions. One mode we refer to as male, and the other as female. Intersex describes anyone who is medically between the ranges of both modes of any sexed trait or who falls into different modes for different traits. Micropenis at birth is one of the classic reasons for “correction”. It’s a wide umbrella even if most people think of it exclusively as abnormal sex chromosome configuration or structural ambiguity (historically called hermaphrodism)
My issue isn’t with people calling Hitler out on this, no more than I had a problem with people mocking his believed Jewish ancestry. I am uncomfortable with people elsewhere in the thread acting like micropenis or hypogonadism causes one to be evil or predisposes one to fascism.
Also we need to change the description of the ideal nazi to: tall like goebbels, thin like goering, and masculine like Hitler.
Excellent points, and yes I was mistakenly assuming you were just referring to sex chromosomes. Thank you for explaining that and teaching me something new.
I think the stigma around virility and fertility is where the shame comes from. Monkey brains, after all. Wish we’d just evolve a tiiiiiny bit. Sex isn’t everything. Hell, I think the statistic is that we spend less than 1% of our lives total doing the sideways conga.
