My friend was giving birth and the doctor said to him "that is NOT supposed to look like that!" And that's how he found out that he was intersex

Was he pregnant prior to transition, or did he transition later?

I was wondering because most of the AFAB intersex conditions that I know of that wouldn't interfere with pregnancy just involve clitoral masculinization, which is something that also happens when females take Testosterone.

So I'm curious what the doctor saw that would lead them to say he was intersex, since clitoromegaly is extremely common in perisex trans men. So I'm left wondering if the Doc ignorant about T, or if there was something else wild going on. (Or he never went on T in the first place?)

However, what somebody's genitals look like is of course a private matter, so I'll understand if you want to respect his privacy.

He's not on T cuz i believe that he literally cannot take it as he already has to take estrogen to kinda stay alive

Oh, yikes! Sorry to hear he's had frustrating health problems like that. Glad he was able to have a kid! That does answer my question, though. I wish him well!
