Tinkering with the Conform library with Remix/React Router v7, it was not obvious to me how to return a proper HTTP status code like 422 Unprocessable Content for invalid form data.

This worked:

if (submission.status !== "success") {
return data(submission.reply(), { status: 422 });
}

Took some detours to figure out:

- just returning submission.reply() gives you "200 OK", which is not OK
- json() is deprecated so use data() instead
- trying Zod with data() but without Conform got to a weird place with types

As long society accepts genital "surgeries" on #intersex babies so they conform to some bullshit norms, we cannot call ourselves enlightened.

"Two common goals of these cosmetic 'normalizing' surgeries on children’s genitals are to enable #heterosexual penetrative intercourse, and to help the child #conform to #gender and sexual norms"

It's based on #ideology, not #science.
It MUST be condemned like #FGM <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_genital_mutilation>.
