@EffinMaggie @FondOfBeetles @Parsleymael @eleonorasfalcon @JennaFights4You Do you consider ‘intersex’ to be. - equivalent with DSD.- a subgroup of DSD with specific characteristics.- something different entirely.

@DominusClarus @Serenity_Seal @QueenMab87 Swyer girls/women don’t produce sperm. They have no testicles.

@DominusClarus @Serenity_Seal @QueenMab87 Their developmental pathway (female) is part of the genotype, which is established at conception. So they are female.

In fact, no born female produces any gametes, they’ll all have been produced in utero. What’s up with very basic biological education?.
@whtesde @emmamegmargot @coldblueshark1 @MrCrystalMighty @speakoutsister women past the menopause are not intersex. They just don't produce gametes.

@zaelefty Great video! It’s remarkable that undescended testes are able to secrete T in male-typical levels (if not even slightly elevated).

@DominusClarus @Serenity_Seal @QueenMab87 Their genotype also includes the DSD itself: the inability to develop male. So what’s male here?.

@DominusClarus @Serenity_Seal @QueenMab87 So a female is male to you because they could have developed male if only they could have, even though they couldn’t ever have.

@shastipea @RWMaloneMD The term ‘hermaphrodite’ fell out of use in the medical field for multiple reasons, including that it already has a more specific meaning: a member of a species that uses hermaphroditism to reproduce, which no mammalian does. It was a misnomer for humans.

@gaytimes What a salad of nonsense. Female Hyenas don’t have a penis, they have a clitoris. Hermaphroditism isn’t trans. Hermaphroditism still uses 2 sexes. Karyotype isn’t sex.

@Helenas_world @HonestTruth44 @TerraLindair @NiecyBrambila @KerridwinR @badsophistry If you have OT-DSD then you also started undifferentiated. Ovaries don’t get turned into testicles. Both develop from the bipotential gonad. An undescended testicle is a testicles, not an ovary.

@OrigenOfSpices @MattyBoySwag143 @cremieuxrecueil Genotype is established at gametal fusion, at that point sex can be predicted with ~ 99.98% accuracy from karyotype (XX, XY). Phenotypic sex is observable at week 12 of gestational age when differentiation is complete.

@taradinoc @Kaida_B_ @KatieInBoston1 @missedith01 @W0DEHOUSE @bitcoinmiser @JessicaValenti Let’s cut right to the chase: trans women are male because they developed male, and trans has nothing whatsoever to do with any DSD, intersex or not. And what I mean with applying traits is that you’re inevitably put, e.g. genital morphology on a ‘less male’/‘less female’ axis.

@robynsun_love @wrensays7 @Onionfries73947 @CelataVexata @AxeDeimos @rustynew386 @miss_fjord PCOS isn’t a DSD; it’s an endocrine disorder. This has nothing to do with ‘cisheteronormativity’ (wtf), and everything with it not being congenital and it not being a result of disordered sex development in utero.

@avianeagle @carlow_caoimhe @fracturedlilac This is misinformation. Sex is understood as binary in all ‘advanced’ subdisciplines like evolutionary/developmental/reproductive. XY females are female. ‘intersex’ isn’t a scientific category.

@DominusClarus @Serenity_Seal @QueenMab87 Developing all female structures all except for ovaries, but not a single male one is a failure of ‘male sex organ development’ to you?. So you think males can become pregnant. You might want to check those assumptions.

@WStone945 @Nothing77804505 @zaelefty It’s the phenotype *to* produce a gamete type, and, honestly, if they don’t can’t work back from that there is no helping them.
