Alt text: scene from the Matrix. Morpheus shows Neo the red and blue pills, which are labelled "Broad shoulders, muscle mass, and a beard" and "Wide hips, narrow waist, and breasts". Neo is shown with "my puberty". Then Morpheus asking "Did you just take both pills?"

Opposite happened to me, I didn't take either of them I guess. Basically puberty just never happened to me or if it did nothing really changed, still just as short as I was back then too, I think I barely grew half an inch.

I technically have all of those. As for the intersex condition I have: I got formally diagnosed with epispadias today, and yes, it's considered an intersex condition by advocacy groups.

Actually Intersex

A lemmy community by and for intersex people. Perisex (non-intersex) people can participate but respect the vibe.

To subscribe from another lemmy instance search for !intersex@lemmy.blahaj.zone

RULES:

  1. Be kind to one another.
  2. No harassment or hate speech.
  3. Be as accessible as you can.
  4. This is a space for intersex people. Perisex people may participate but don't be disruptive. This isn't a place for you to work out your intersexism.

GROUND TRUTHS:

  1. Intersex is a big tent. Some people see intersex in medical terms. Some people see intersex through the social model. Some see it as a mix. Some people see intersex as queer. Some see intersex as disabled/crip. Some see it as both. You get the deal. There's no single way to be intersex.
  2. Anybody who experiences or is vulnerable to intersexism gets to call themself intersex if they want. That includes people with PCOS hyperandrogenism, people with Poland syndrome, and people who don't have diagnoses.
  3. TERFs and the alt-right are on a campaign to convince people that intersex is rare, biological sex is simple, and actually intersex people aren't the experts on who is intersex. We need to resist this.
  4. Solidarity with the trans community. While intersex and transness are distinct, our communities have fundamental common ground in being threats to cisperinormitivity.
