judging by the usernames, this post has found its target audience
I read a sci-fi novel once where a character's immune system flooded them with endorphins any time they felt negative emotions, essentially rendering them incapable of guilt or remorse.
this is really tangential to OP at this point but what lierdumoa said reminded me of one of my favorite Star Trek episodes (Descent Pt. I), where Data (the android guy who was programmed not to feel emotions if you're not familiar) suddenly and mysteriously gained the ability to feel things, which he had wanted all his life, except for some reason the only two emotions he was capable of feeling were anger and schadenfreude, and he's talking to the therapist like "yea it felt good to kill that Borg drone that's not good is it." one of my favorite "oh shit" moments in the whole show.

Hi, u said ur Intersex. If i may ask, Do u prefer the word Hermaphrodite cuz of it being beautiful sounding n the story behind it or the more recent n biological "Intersex" ?
I personally don't use the label for myself, and the community term is intersex. As a general rule you should use intersex unless a person prefers hermaphrodite, or you are in a space where hermaphrodite or another term is the preferred term (not much sense tiptoeing around the term if you're at a group called "hermaphrodite action council"*made the name up off the top of my head*)
The story behind the term isn't necessarily as beautiful as might appear at first glance, the god Hermaphroditus was a being of inbetween spaces, agriculture etc, but the Greeks that worshipped hermaphroditus would also leave us on hillsides to die of exposure or predators as infants. Not to mention the modern historical violence in the word.
The real beauty in the word to me is us, the people, and what we did with it, the battles we won under the banner of "hermaphrodite". It is powerful, and like many painful words, there is power in it, and therefore power in reclaiming it.
Hermaphrodites with Attitude, Boston- 1996
However for me, I don't feel comfortable with the term for myself. A glimpse of my experience.... I was a little queer "girl" with a micropenis at swimming training, my HRT was changed at 12, and suddenly my body did some things it had never done before.... Children are very cruel and that word followed me all the way to adulthood.
Intersex describes a community umbrella that I fit under, but the word I actually identify with is אנדרוגינוס (androgynos), a term unique to Judaism which does not perfectly correspond with western notions of sex or gender. If we were to discuss cultural stories that we find beautiful, I find meaning in a midrash where Adam is created male and female and HaShem takes Adams female side to create Eve.

this also applies to whatever other pathetic excuse you want to come up with to avoid taking responsibility for your racism btw. either learn to fucking draw poc properly or stop drawing.
having thoughts and wondering bc i don’t really see this talked about—
are transsexual people considered intersex? I’ve been on testosterone for several years and had a hysterectomy, the stuff I have in me looks pretty different than a cis woman’s, I still get questions about whether I’m pregnant as a “trans man” on my doctor info stuff… I tried researching and found virtually nothing. I’ve always been under the impression intersex = BORN with ambiguous genitalia, both, a condition like Kleinfelter’s or XXY chromosomes or something… but can it also be a choice/something that develops over time?
what’s the consensus?
Your original impression was correct, you are not intersex. Unlike gender, being intersex is a state you are born into. It may not be apparent at birth (EX: NCAH typically presents at or after puberty), but you are born with the condition/variation that makes you intersex. Trans people are simply trans, and generally speaking, trans configurations of things aren’t going to actually come out the same as intersex variations, they would just fit into a very loose definition of mixed sex characteristics. The difference is that intersex variations are classed under specific conditions, so for instance, if you’re on T, you might have experiences shared with hyperandrogenism, but if you’ve also had a hysterectomy, you might have experiences shared with cAIS. These are two separate conditions that cannot even occur together, but both share in the fact that they occur spontaneously. No intervention brought them into being—no one chooses to be born intersex.
I make it somewhat wordy simply to get the point across that this is a very big issue, and while it may seem on the trans side that no one is talking about this, it’s something intersex people see fairly often.
All this said, you will find a welcoming community for the experiences with mixed sex characteristics within the intersex community, especially because many of us are also trans like you, it’s just that the two things are different. Our communities are historically close and this is something we share similarities over even though they are different. If you feel helped by intersex people, we support our perisex trans friends. If it isn’t an intersex-exclusive space, we want you with us, and we can share in the struggle.
