OP is the same spammer who keep asking the same questions about sex that were answered dozen of times already.

[–]HouseplantWomen who disagree with QT are a different sex 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

People with DSDs aren’t a tool for genderists to bludgeon the rest of us with. The existence of DSDs does not change how sex is defined or how it functions.

The worlds population is not secretly bursting with people with DSDs even if it’s not a wholly visible spectrum of disorders.

What do DSDs have to do with gender?

How does this relate to the sub topic?

Well, sub topic is GC debates QT. QT use "intersex", and I have questions about "intersex"

But trans people/qt aren’t intersex. So maybe ask this in a sub for intersex conditions

QT shouldn’t be “using” intersex because

  1. Intersex people regularly ask them not to make these comparisons

  2. It’s unrelated to being trans

What sub? I assumed this sub has the most members, that's why I asked.

I mean I don’t really ever go to intersex subs to direct you, but I’m sure you could search for one.

For example, are people with ovotesticular disorder male or female? They have both ovaries and testes.

No they don't. They have a combination of ovarian and testicular tissue, not all of which is developed or functional. One kind of gonadal tissue will be predominantly functional.

If persons with OT DSD had ovaries and testes, they would have four gonads. Persons with OT DSD have the usual two.

Some males have been reported to have been born with three testes, but those males did not have DSDs. There's never been a single study or case report of anyone on earth born with four gonads.

Are people with persistent müllerian duct syndrome male or female? They have uteruses. They have both ovaries and testes. Maybe not most times, but sometimes they have ovaries.

No, persons with PMDS they do not have both ovaries and testes. They have testes and penises, and rudimentary Mullerian structures.

I suspect you are the same ill-informed person who has posted on the GC forum and on Ovarit about this because you have strong animus against persons with DSDs and want to spread misinformation about them in the hopes it will cause them to be further stigmatized, othered and monstered. Or you are just a troll trying to wind people up.

Mods, please take this thread down.
