Fairly confident that fascists don't want intersex people to exist at all. They won't say that openly yet, but they clearly find them as bothersome as trans and nonbinary people.
Nor do they want cis people wandering around thinking they can neglect to adhere to strict conservative gender norms. Indeed, this is likely what all of their deep hatred toward trans people is really about - the means to rile themselves up enough to inflict strict gender norms on the whole population. Whether they are fantasising about a world which looks like a 1950s advertisement for a refrigerator, or several levels more regressive again, they're not intending any sort of pleasant outcome for anyone whose body or behaviour or identity does not quite fit with the fascist fantasy.
They won't succeed in getting that far, but they absolutely will continue to ramp up their attacks.
EDIT: this is the crux of the phrase "trans rights are human rights". Trans, NB & intersex people are the canary in the coalmine.
