@FondOfBeetles Lots come out with that. All over FB, whenever the sex screening for sports is discussed. Trans and intersex activism has convinced loads of mostly young people that"intersex" is common and that was why testing was banned. I was almost 17 when I had my first period. No worries.
@Uggg@JFr4ser@G79Berg@Draconianwrath_@zaelefty One developmental pathway dominates in the initially ambiguous cases. Tests and scans can be done to find out which has. Waiting for a while can help as well for super rare ones. Most people with OT-DSD are female. Some are fertile. Males are rarely fertile.
@alisonrebecca@mara_yamauchi Competition is part of the fun. Why should only men have that side of it? That is what is done when males are put in the female category. It is just wrong.
@emmeejacobs@mara_yamauchi People enjoy doing well in their categories, especially coming first occasionally. It is on strava as well. I don't run, but I skate and often get crowns on strava. I will be very pissed off if the guys claiming to be women beat me. Luckily they aren't good enough skaters yet.
@shadeycat247@tonyphatt@ChrisJoDec1963@PatriotNorth1@zaelefty Sex related traits vary, but there are still only two sexes. The definition of sex amplies to all anisogamous animals and plants. If sex was defined by traits we would have to have many different, separate definitions. That wouldn't make any biological sense.
@Uggg@JFr4ser@G79Berg@Draconianwrath_@zaelefty Where is this person and how did they develop? All the real examples of people with OT-DSD, that are shown as evidence of"intersex", have a sex.
@shadeycat247@Draconianwrath_@Woman_AHF@zaelefty Activists use it, and have spread it's use as much as they can in the public sphere, unfortunately. Scentists don't use it anymore. It is far too confusing. Not all people with the conditions involved are happy with what the activists have done.
@Uggg@NChaleunphone@zaelefty@PTElephant Yes, there are and that is thanks to activist groups joining in with the trans activists. They might do some good, but many also spread misinformation and confusion. Just using the term " intersex" is confusing enough. That is why scientists don't use it.
@sequitariat@cervixen You can't undo your development. We are not clown fish. Hormones will only result in a man with moobs, or a woman with a beard and a deeper voice.
@Gaynotqueer1 Silly, brainwashed youngsters. Shame, but the trans lobby is so powerful. So many believe all the misinformation and think they are on the side of kindness.
@FondOfBeetles I don't like milk, but I do like cheese. Can I have cheese, orange juice and chocolate.Maybe with some bread as long as it is not sour dough.
@gd_ouder@gonochoric@zaelefty It is a disorder that affects males, resulting in a switch to female development. So the end result is female. They wouldn't have any advantage in sports that would be outside the genetic advantages that other females can have. I had light periods, didn't stop me doing anything.
@sequitariat@cervixen "Woman"is not a gender identity. It is an adult female human. Men can't identify into that. Someone with Swyer Syndrome is female due to their development. Chromosomes are not a definition of sex.
