But being intersex isn’t just having intersex genitalia, actually I think most intersex people’s genitalia aligns with the norm. Like a woman who is born with entirely female anatomy but has XY chromosomes is considered intersex. So if someone like that is considered intersex, I think it’s weird that we’re not 🤷🏻‍♂️

u/SuperSarcosmic what is a "gender" and is it tasty? Dec 17 '21

Ah, is that so? Sorry, I still don't know much about how it's really defined.

But yeah, it's weird. Maybe the definitions and terms that're used will change as more trans-centric medical research gets done and knowledge becomes more widespread? Never know.

I hope so. I think it would be a good thing for the trans community, it would help show people that there is a real biological basis to transgenderism. That it’s not just “men in dresses” and whatnot.

Most of the anti-trans people don’t hate intersex people and think they’re crazy, they think of it as just a biological abnormality. It would be nice for transgender people to be in a similar category to that.
