@SianHerfield They do tho. That's usually why they end up having a larger than normal clitoris.
I'm referring to the definition of that type of case; it's said that there is a uterus, ovaries, and testicles, which may or may not develop partially (In other words, it only remains as tissue) +
@SianHerfield Yes, Jenny. The part about penises referred to intersex women who have a partially developed penis and then fix it with surgery. That's it. I mentioned it several times, OTDSD only refers to the uterus, ovaries, and testicles (By definition of the condition, not my words)
@SianHerfield@rustynew386@Mazclin@ZephyrBluePaddy@whooith They produce testosterone, and this can usually manifest as increased body hair or by giving them slightly more androgynous features. You're confusing the word tissue with fibrous tissue, which usually doesn't have a function (And they are usually found in scars)
@SianHerfield@rustynew386@Mazclin@ZephyrBluePaddy@whooith The testicles are complex organs with multiple functions. It is called testicular tissue because it is not a complete testicle and is only composed of the same cells. Some testicular tissues do not perform this function, but others do +
@SianHerfield@rustynew386@Mazclin@ZephyrBluePaddy@whooith Just because it's called tissue doesn't mean it doesn't have a function. In fact, we have different types of tissues that perform different functions. Muscle and nerve tissue, for example.
@SianHerfield@rustynew386@Mazclin@ZephyrBluePaddy@whooith It works. They are called testicular tissues because they are tissues that are part of a testicle (that is, made up of the same cells as a testicle) and can at least partially perform its function. In this case, what they usually do is generate testosterone +
@rustynew386@SianHerfield@Mazclin@ZephyrBluePaddy@whooith I'm just asking if they consider them women because they have testicles. They have a uterus, ovaries, and testicles, which is a medical fact that any of us can verify in any moment tbh, nothing else.
@rustynew386@Mazclin@ZephyrBluePaddy@whooith So you are discriminating against certain intersex women and men. I got it, don't worry. If you've already decided that, it's fine.
