I'm a bit confused

I thought Miriam was just trying to say that if people could see intersexuality as a perfectly natural phenomomen then maybe they'd stop trying to 'cure' it. And that, if allowed to make their own decisions, there is no reason intersexuals can't be happy, successful, well-balanced individuals.
It's a pretty good point too that doctors and parents seem to obsess with what they can see, causing them to make unnecessarily hasty decisions.
Secrets and mis-information can be quite damaging even to us CAIS people. Hence why I had to explain to my in-laws that I have testicular cancer but no I didn't trick their son into marrying a man and yes it came as a bit of a shock to me too.
I hope I am not coming across as provocative, I'm just trying to give you an insight into my thought processes. Sometimes it helps to look from a different perspective.
P.S. just for the record I actually thought the video was quite clever
