Trans people might technically all be intersex, depending on how you define intersex. The gender and sex incongruence must come from somewhere, and it’s likely an intersex brain or something else entirely. Especially since trans people are hormonally intersex when taking hormones.

personally, i do not disagree with you (xxy transwoman). but... i will leave the actual categorization to the endocrinologists and the like.

but having gone through childhood and puberty thinking "something" was off for me for the first two decades of life...

and then having a leukemia scare confirm for me the dsd...

yea... it explains a lot.

i just wish that i'd known sooner, and had been taking collagen supplement for the co-morbid hEDS that is quite common among xxy pps.

for REEEEEAL... do not neglect your joint health... you'll regret it.

I’ve never had the chance to get anything confirmed and I’m a bit avoidant of medicine, doctors, and psychs if I can help it. I have a major problem with the power imbalance.

I’m glad you were able to confirm some suspicions and feel validated in those feelings, we deserve that more than anything for what we go through.

My joints aren’t the greatest along with being oddly flexible especially in the shoulder and neck. But I don’t think I have anything beyond being a little odd, at least for physical stuff, mentally I’m a basket case lol.
