Not the same thing. “Disorder” (as the above poster said) suggests a deviation from “normal” that is somehow wrong. Intersex conditions aren’t inherently “wrong”, they are just statistically uncommon.
Disability status is another thing entirely, and is largely a reflection of the society in which the person lives.
A. That’s nice, you’re not a member of the community you’re referring to while the poll respondents in the study were and there’s a clear difference in preferences.
B. There’s actually a big issue with the Deaf community not wanting to be viewed as disabled and strongly preferring the use of the term Deaf over “hearing disability.”
Right, speaking casually but clearly in good faith about a disability is bad and vulgar. Specifically targeting someone’s disability with thinly veiled ableism but smearing it with condescension and data that is, by your own omission, totally irrelevant is good and enlightened.
I can’t speak for anyone’s chromosomes, but if someone called my hearing disability a “hearing difference” I would feel like they’re infantilizing me.

That’s nice. But I’m not deaf, I have a hearing disability.
Cool, looks like you’re getting the point.
Chew glass
That’s about as useful as the rest of your input has been.
Yes your passive aggressive ableism was a huge help. Literally chew glass. Chew it, swallow it, shit blood.
Thank you for your helpful sensitivity lesson, author of “I can’t speak for anyone’s chromosomes, but…”
