The mother was not told her child might be intersex because of SW Asian phenotypical features. Rather, she, the mother, is the one to bring up her daughter's ethnicity. "We expected as much because prenatal DNA testing let us know unequivocally at ten weeksтАЩ gestation that we were having a baby with XX sex chromosomes in every cell of her body. And no, she isnтАЩt тАЬintersexтАЭ. Her phenotypical features reflect her Southwest Asian genetic heritage and she is fine and healthy just as she is. "
Within trans activist circles thereтАЩs a misunderstanding (perhaps deliberate) of what intersex actually means. So, for example, a girl with SW Asian phenotype might be hairier, and have a different build than a girl from a European background. This is taken as evidence that the girl with SWA genetics has a higher than average testosterone profile. No more investigation is required by way of genetic testing or physical examination. If someone says theyтАЩre intersex then you must believe them and facilitate medical transition.
I expect an explanation as to what the meaning is of "And no, she isnтАЩt тАЬintersexтАЭ. Her phenotypical features reflect her Southwest Asian genetic heritage".
Are we to assume the therapist said, "Oh your daughter is from X southerwestern asian country? That means she must be intersex."?! Come on.
"If the gender transition industry is anything it is profoundly racist...''
Racist? What's racist about it?
She said: "No, she isn't 'intersex.' Her phenotypical features reflect her Southwest Asian genetic heritage."
The implication is that this mother was told her child might be intersex because of her Southwest Asian phenotypical features.

The mother actually liked my comment, so I was right.
You asked a question. You got an answer the OP agrees with.
I don't know what else you expect.

She doesn't owe you an explanation.
