What you need to know is most trans identified people are NOT intersex. The vast majority of them are unambiguosly XY male or XX female (1). However, they keep dragging them in the discussion because they know this topic is confusing for a lot of people.

I'd advice against arguing with TRA about intersex unless you learn more about the topic first. Sex development is a complex process and, as such, many things could go wrong. That is why in rare cases people are born with a disorder of sex development (DSD) (2). The cases where there is a incongruence between sex chromosomes and fenotype, or ambiguous genitals are even rarer (3, 4). Also, DSD is an umbrella term for a heterogenous group of medical conditions, so wherever possible it's best to talk about a specific condition rather than make broad generalizations. Either way, sex is not a spectrum and people with these conditions are still either male or female (5).

BTW, people with Klinefelter syndrome (47, XXY and other variants) are male (6, 7).

this is not a debate sub! We will get around to making the debate sub for anyone with questions about gender critical ideas or radical feminism. We are migrating over from Reddit after the bannings.

Female is Not a Feeling. We won't go down quietly.

Re-forming wherever we can: Spinster.xyz

Feminism is the movement to liberate women from patriarchy. We stand up for the rights of women to control our own bodies as individuals and to control women-only spaces as a class.

Women are adult human females. We do not believe that men can become women by 'feeling' like women. We do not condone the erasure of females and female-only spaces, the silencing of critical thinking, the denial of biological reality and of sex-based oppression. We oppose the 'cotton ceiling' and the pressure on lesbians to have sex with men. We resist efforts to limit women's reproductive autonomy. We condemn the men who exploit and abuse women in prostitution and pornography.

"Women do not decide at some point in adulthood that they would like other people to understand them to be women, because being a woman is not an ‘identity.’ Women’s experience does not resemble that of men who adopt the ‘gender identity’ of being female or being women in any respect. The idea of ‘gender identity’ disappears biology and all the experiences that those with female biology have of being reared in a caste system based on sex." - Sheila Jeffreys, Gender Hurts
