@gwynnion hi ! I'm sorry if it's a stupid question but I really want to learn. What is an intersex woman ? Is it a person born with both female and male genitals ?

@Chawarma @gwynnion intersex conditions are a huge umbrella term describing someone born with sex characteristics that don't fit nearly into male or female. Many intersex babies are operated on shortly after birth, sometimes even without the knowledge of the parents, which can be really devastating. Often if doctors and/or parents make a call to "correct" an intersex baby to one gender to the other based on aesthetics, and it turns out to be a bad choice...

@Chawarma @gwynnion ...at which point the adult intersex person, or their parents if they're still young, have to decide to undo the "correction" one way or another. Sometimes this means a doctor went "eh close enough to a boy lol, stitch up anything else" and then she ended up having ovaries and being estrogen dominant and having to figure out what to do about that later. Don't know the specific case mentioned here but that's common enough it describes a decent amount of intersex women haha.

@Chawarma @gwynnion *for the most part* the idea of having "both" fully functional genitals is a fantasy, most intersex conditions are more of an in-between state that is erroneously "corrected" to one or the other. Whether intersex people consider themselves trans or identify with the trans community tends to be on a case by case basis.
