Intersex General

REMINDER: ignore posters derailing the thread for tranny bullshit. do not respond to tranny bullshit posters.

>What does it mean to be intersex?
Intersex people are people who have innate, congenital differences in sexual anatomy. Example: a girl who is born with XY sex chromosomes, someone who is born with both a penis and a uterus, someone who is born with both an ovary and a testicle, etc.

>Is being transgender a form of intersex?
No.

>What about trans people being "neurologically intersex?"
The brain is not a sex organ. Intersex has to do with sexual organs/sex chromosomes, not the brain. "Neurologically intersex" is incoherent. You might as well say people can be "neurologically diabetic", "neurologically pregnant", "neurologically menstruating", or have "neurological liver cancer". It is just incoherent and ignorant of the meanings of the words.

>Is PCOS intersex?
No, PCOS is not inherently intersex. PCOS is unambiguously female in sex, with no presence of male sexual anatomy. Many cases do not involve elevated androgens/testosterone. Even if the cases in which there is some virilization/hyperandrogenism were to count as intersex, this would not make PCOS as a condition innately intersex -- many women with PCOS have no masculinization and only experience menstrual/ovulation issues alongside insulin insensitivity. To characterize PCOS as inherently masculinizing or "intersex" by default is erroneous. Most "intersex conditions" are those found under the "disorder of sex development" category. PCOS is an endocrine disorder, not a sex development disorder (as there is no doubt that the sex of people with PCOS is female).

being trans is a form of neurological intersex (and that's ok and doesn't detract from the unique or overlapping struggles that people more traditionally labelled as intersex experience!)
