Or maybe you’re just wrong

Wrong? Sorry, but I lived through this.

And if I am wrong - then how to become full female? Why am I less female? How my bigger clit is "more male" if it works 100% as clit and 0% as penis? How is it helpful to say to kids they are less female and how it will stop IGM, when it was THE reason of IGM?

And where exactly I am wrong? I am certain in everything I said - it is either lived experiense or medical fact.

I am rarely meeting so rude and unempathetic people, lol.

It isn’t more male. Maleness and femaleness don’t exist, just as races don’t exist. You just have a certain level of testosterone or melanin. Also get your facts straight, IGM was about bodily normativity not an inability to classify people correctly

It was because of inability to classify people correctly or thinking that sex is a spectrum and people can be more or less.

If "maleness and femaleness" don't exist, then what that spectrum is at all? It makes no sense then. And how we can reproduce if there no males or females and we can't say who is who? And why 40 very rare conditions which are affecting very small percentage of people matters in this question at all?
