Today's topic: Intersex Requirements for Transition.

!!LETS TRY THIS AGAIN!! Edition
>>
>>43668453
"Intersex" people don't exist
You fell for a misogynistic lie
>>
just got the rogue 2 herb vaporizer and it is very nice but i dont have a grinder anymore omg gotta use my hands
>>
>>43668471
I'm right here i have a hypospadias scar you cant take that away from me angry white male
>>
>>43668471
bro is always telling me i dont exist but actually YOU dont exist buddy sit it all the way down to the bottom of a bridge :)
>>
>>43668471
it is a misogynistic lie to think that any random XY could even come close to filling the role of XX
>>
>>43668453

>>43668752
Kids are going to be victimized if gender dysphoria is diagnosed through talk therapy check lists.
>>
>>43668752
let's get some chromosome testing going!
>>
>>43668791
how else would you diagnose it?

intersex requirements
>>
>>43668919
what do you mean? Can't transition unless intersex? If you're inter-sex, what determines which sex you are allowed to transition to then? And don't tell me it's the chromosomes.
>>
>>43669041
intersex people transition to the sex with the easiest social transition
>>
>>43669222
this is why im a girl and you arent @ all silly billies
>>
>>43669222
they might, not all do. A lot don't need to or want to transition to anything at all
>>
>>43669299
thats good and valid or whatever but usually impractical for a full life so it shouldn't be expected.
>>
what do you think about certain cases of androgen or estrogen insensitivity feminizing the brains of perisex males in utero?
>>
>>43669381
nothing should be expected with intersex. But it is entirely possible for an intersex person of one agab to live a full and happy life as that gender. They might not even know that they're "supposed" to be anything else according to their chromosomes. That's probably the majority. I don't understand the need to conflate trans and intersex here.

>>43669458
what of it? What's the qualitative difference between 1) gender dysphoria because your brain got wired differently because of hormones; 2) gender dysphoria because your brain rewired itself based on experiences and socialisation?
>>
>>43669583
because 'experiences and socialization' leaves the door open to grooming through talk therapy diagnosis. Hormonal proof of dysphoria is something concrete do hold onto if trans people aren't wanted on a mass spread scale.
>>
>>43669458
access to hrt but maybe not surgeries before intersex people.
>>
>>43669788
are surgeries such a scarce resource that we have to ration them? Is a hierarchy of struggles the only way to distribute this resource?

>>43669782
did you mean to say "chromosomal proof of dysphoria" (as stupid as that is)? Look, I don't think children and transition is a solved issue myself either. From a societal perspective, on some days I may even lean quite conservative and bar them from it until they're adults if it was up to me. But that would also include intersex people in my book.

You can't just do a karyotype test and go off by that, ignoring everything else. The holy chromosomes may still misalign with their identity. Then what about variations? What about chimerism? What about those supposedly in utero feminised and masculinised brains?
>>
>>43669995
surgeries are indeed such a rare resource that we do need to ration them, I shouldn't be in and out of homelessness directly due to discrimination when white men with established incomes and careers are transitioning vocally out of hedonism.
>>
>>43670577
thank you fin for proving my point lets move from the gate naaaowwwwww :>

>>43669222
Transmaxxing but for DSDs
>>43669458
AIS is literally a DSD. In all but the mildest forms it produces intersex people.
Are milder forms of EIS actually known? I'm aware of rare full lost-of-function mutations. I know Powers has weird theories but...
>>43669782
>Hormonal proof of dysphoria
So what do you do with people who have already transitioned and thus for whom you can't do baseline hormone testing?
>>43669995
>are surgeries such a scarce resource
Kind of, actually. Skilled SRS surgeons and therefore their time are a scarce resource.
>chromosomal proof of dysphoria
DSD diagnosis is complicated. Some are obvious chromosomal anomalies. Others are smaller mutations, the tests for which can be unreliable. Hormone labs can hint at a diagnosis and may be the best evidence you get in the absence of a positive genetic test.
>>43668937
Wait is this all just a ploy to post ass?
>>
>>43670577
you think every perisex trans person faces 0 marginalization or dysphoria?

I’m soo sorry anon, I tried before but these threads get wrecked everytime :( rip INTERGEN
>>
>>43670577
>white men
what's that got to do with anything? It sounds like you're American so I have no clue about your healthcare system, but isn't intersex already privileged over trans in terms of insurance? I see an opposite problem with intersex care in that surgeries or HRT are prescribed in early life to try to bring a person towards the subjectively closest binary "normal" based on a possibly incomplete reading of their sex. No one can say whether that reading was correct except for the person themselves. Or, in the absence of medical intervention, if their gender identity matches what their body ended up becoming. And here I don't see much of a difference between gender dysphoria in a trans person and an intersex person. If an intersex person seeks transition, I don't see how you can justify gatekeeping their transition by examining a singular aspect of their sex, chromosomal or otherwise. In my mind, the best approach might be to treat intersex and trans people seeking transition the same. And therefore, I don't see an ethical way to privilege one over the other in terms of access to transitioning.
>>43670584
I proved your point?

Literally just looks like any other sissy in a thong
Some trannies rly will just look for any reason at all to feel superior
>>43671096
every time I see an intersex person talk about being intersex it’s to gripe about how gross queers are and how unfair it is to be lumped in with them and how they steal everything from you blah blah blah
And yet you feel entitled to a piece of our communities? Why? Why would you want to lump yourself in with people who you view as being nothing like you?

I think, well at least from my perspective, being different physically from others was a horrid and hurtful experience, one that unfortunately defined a large aspect of my life. I think that when people use terms like being “mentally intersex” as a reasoning for being trans it demeans what I experienced, that’s not to say I don’t empathize or suffer with having body dysphoria and dysmorphia. To look at myself and feel so alien to either sex, and I understand how trans people feel,I myself transitioned and I’ve experienced it personally, but there’s also this uncomfortable envy that permeates from just how my body is and it makes me feel disgusting like a pariah that I still don’t belong. So when others come in and start saying things like being “mentally intersex” it doesn’t feel like you’re building a bridge, it feels like you’re trying to colonize a minuscule group to add to a growing list of collected oppression points. Im not saying that it’s the actual intent but I think it’s not hard to jump to that conclusion and induce hostility, I think common ground can be something to understand without stepping on our toes, sorry I’m like a bit manic and I know I’m rambling I wish I could better articulate myself
>>
>>43671445
Some people don't even have gonads anymore.
I wish optics were way better and I'm not really sure what to do about that but plenty of garden variety trannies are reasonably sane humans that probably won't make libsoftiktok.
Plus conservatives are adapting to the intersex "gotcha" by binning us all by theoretical or actual gametes, so it's not like this is a position any of us can retreat to for safety.
Like it or not we're all in this together.
>>43671479

>>43671905
I feel like we have overlapping concerns. For one, I literally transitioned. I have no future as an intersex separatist.
But prior to transition I read as queer to a lot of people. Like I couldn't even consistently pass as a member of my assigned sex. I get misgendered less often post-transition and my hobbies include outing myself to religious conservatives.

>>43677003
Damn imagine having your transition revoked by the law.
I'm just saying some conservatives would just as soon execute us just to own the libs bringing us up in debates on trans issues. Under those circumstances you won't catch me pushing for *less* rights.
Thankfully so far I think that's still a minority opinion. But think tanks are actively lobbying for de-recognition of intersex people as anything other than reproductive sex.
Are you an individual who naturally has, had, will have, or would have, but for a developmental anomaly or accident, the reproductive system that produces sperm? Congratulations now you're legally a man! Nevermind your actual biology.

I think my actual life goal is to become the crazy cat lady.
>>43668808
I think on the order of half (with wide error margin bars) of infants with visible DSDs who are 46,XY never receive a definitive genetic diagnosis of their conditions. And that's the state of modern medicine. Back in *my* day they'd reassign you after botching your circumcision even though you were literally developmentally normally male.
>>
>>43683175
Ntm the price of testing, a lot of insurance companies won’t cover it, and the out of pocket testing was ridiculous even a few years ago, to which I paid for it lol
>fuck I need insurance lol
