Here's my take: Diagnosed XXY males know their chromosomes, yet still know they're male.

Also, unless you have symptoms of a disorder of sexual development, you are going to be a normal XX female or XY male 99.8% of the time. And if you DO have a DSD it's usually pretty obvious that something is up. After puberty I didn't "masculinize", I don't have facial hair or a voice in the male range. While I'm no expert, and haven't had a proper diagnosis due to shitty local healthcare, I can say with confidence that there is a slim chance that my chromosomes are XY.

Saying that intersex people are "A normal variation in sex" and not a disorder is ironically counter-productive and offensive. It's actually super condescending to be told "no sweetie, there's nothing wrong with you, embrace your biological queerness uwu". It is a disorder, but you know what? I'm fine with that. I'm okay with being a genetic fuck-up.
