another story of an intersex woman.
I’m confused about what makes this person intersex bc she is genetically male and was not born with a uterus. Was she born with ovaries? breasts? Is it hormones? How did she go into menopause...?
I understand it more clearly when a person is chromosomally one way but have internal testes or ovaries or something but she did not explain what exactly makes her intersex. It was like she just decided to call herself that and now she’s a unicorn.
So is this person intersex or nah? I get very confused these days since the LGB movement got coopted by the TQIA
So.... she never had a penis? Does she have vagina? That might make more sense. I’m trying to be completely respectful here and understand. I guess physically female means everything else then. Ok
The menopause without a uterus thing threw me off.
They're supposed to make up a percentage of a percentage, very rare versus transgender from what I read and understand.Totally understood- I’ve advocated for the intersexed for a long time. I just thought they were sometimes lumped under transgender.
Now I’m confused about what it means to be trans
What does the vagina lead to? The vagina/birth canal is connected to the cervix and os of the uterus. I wonder If she had a poorly developed uterus. The drop in which hormone levels? If estrogen "dropped" it may be assumed she had more organs that were emitting some hormones?She is probably going through what they call manopause where she is seeing a drop in her hormone levels.
Being intersexed isn’t like being transsexual. The children born like this appear to be physically female but are genetically male. It is an actual medical condition.
It’s not the same as those “feeling” that they are born in the wrong body. They actually are born with aspects of both sexes.
ETA: Yes she was born with a vagina. She never had a penis so physically she is female.

Anyways...I saw this and still had question marks about the hormones.
