I am not an active biologist but my degree is in Biology. I can promise everyone that intersex is never presented as some weird off-brand of trans. Those with Klinefelter's syndrome are referred to as "male with an extra x chromosome", and with Turner's syndrome it is "female with a missing x chromosome". It's so important to clarify what the outcome is of these anomalies. Any scientist that I have ever seen try to argue otherwise come from super woque institutions where they aren't even renowned for their science programs.

I feel terrible for intersex people who are being told how peculiar and bizarre their existence is, and getting lumped in with transvestites.
