Were the standards any different in the 80s? I've heard stories of people getting "corrective surgery" in infancy but the cases that I've heard are not from the US or are much older.

I have scars around and on my genitals. When I was young my mom told me that I had surgery just after I was born. Now as an adult, I think I may have been born with some sort of intersex condition but I am afraid to talk to my parents about it.

Someone go ahead and trademark the term "ghost printer."

There are quality fabrics still manufactured but they are not often used in mass production of garments.

Any garment production requires scrap fabric. However a crafts person can repurpose and use those scraps where as a factory will just discard them. Also a huge amount of the waste in fast fashion in over production of products that don't even sell and never get used before going to a landfill.

Absolutely.

I don't know enough about sewing or programmable vector designs (heck, I don't even know what it's call). So, I can't really contribute to the project. But I really want it to grow, so I promote it wherever I can.

I dream of it taking off like blender or Wikipedia and eventually having an archive of thousands of designs. Even, if most people wont sew their own it would help some people start small businesses creating quality clothing.

Yes I am exhausted. Most of all I am exhausted by the rapid rush to capitulate to and appease trump.
