So does this mean all hermaphrodites are intersex in gender?? I mean if that was the documented diagnosis, than I can understand being a bit more sympathetic. But that occurrence would be far less even than this trans phenomenon that has been all the rage for the second decade of this century.

Most intersex people want nothing to do with the LGBT community. Because they can not choose what doctors did to them.

I get what you are saying but some intersex folks lend their understanding to us about the transgender folks.

I am having trouble understanding this, please walk me through. What I am assuming at this point from your post is that some people are born with multiple organs, which makes them hermaphrodite?? And then the physician on staff makes a unilateral decision as to which organ stays and which goes? Thus, Intersex applies to those who were born hermaphrodite but had an arbitrary procedure by physician after birth, reducing them to a specific organ/sex ? Is my understanding correct, or am I way off base here?

Just for the record, here in Russia we don't have this 'gay problem' on a personal level. Nobody really cares until it's a part of the Agenda (you know, those gay parades, legal issues, etc.).

This is a confusing post. "So, it's OK to be gay, but it's NOT OK to sell it as a norm (or promote it)" So it's ok to be gay, but not ok to say it's ok to be gay.
I've never heard a gay person say that being Gay is "The norm," (as in, the default state) but they've been fighting for 50 years to be treated like they're normal. There's a big difference between trying to be considered "Normal" and trying to be "The norm."
