Genuine question: what exactly do you think intersex is?

Hey nonny!

Mh, I'm not sure whether I like the way this question is being asked: I have no "opinion" on intersex conditions, it doesn't matter what I think. What matters is years of medical reasearch. Which is what my knowledge of intersex conditions is based on?

Still, I'll pretend your question was asked in good faith so I'll give you an introduction.

Disclaimer: I am no doctor, if anything I'm about to say is incorrect, please DO correct me. The last thing I'd want is to spread misinformation.

Intersex conditions are known in the medical field as DSDs: Disorders of Sexual Developments.

The name says it all, actually: these "are conditions with an atypical chromosomal, gonadal or phenotypic sex, which leads to differences in the development of the urogenital tract and different clinical phenotypes." (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6976999/#:~:text=Disorders%20of%20sexual%20development%20(DSD,tract%20and%20different%20clinical%20phenotypes.). This, in everyday language, means that the fetus might present ambiguous external and internal gonad configuration, and/or an atypical karyotype (ie, genes).

Debunking myths about intersex conditions: ambiguous genitalia are actually pretty rare!

Studies shows that instances of ambiguous genitalia happen in about 1 every 5,000 live births, putting them at a solid 0.02%. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7845444/)

Don't get me wrong, though.

They DO happen, and doctors absolutely DO perform unnecessary cosmetic surgeries on newborns with ambiguous genitalia. This is horrific, to say the least: unless there was a medical need for the surgery to take place (eg, tissue partly covering the urethral opening), there is NO reason for a newborn's genitalia to be altered. Intersex activists have been campaigning for years to raise awareness about the topic.

Moving on.

DSDs, contrary to popular belief, are 99% of the time sex-specific: this means that they can only occur in one of the two sexes, and only some of them can occur in both.

For example, Klinefelter Syndrome (XXY) targets genetical male babies (who present a Y chromosome), while Turner Syndrome (X0) targets genetical female babies (who do not present a Y chromosome).

People believe that intersex conditions undermine the notion of a binary sex system, but they actually reinforce it: even if some people are born with just four fingers on their right hand, it doesn't negate the fact that the standard number of fingers for humans to have on their hands is five.

The medical impact DSDs have on a person varies greatly from person to person.

Men with Klinefelter Syndrome may have no issues related to it whatsoever, or may develop gynaecomastia, hypogonadism, and infertility issues.

This is why a considerable number of intersex people find out they are intersex well into their adult age: not having ambiguous genitalia, or any major medical issue, it just goes unnoticed.

Debunking myths about intersex conditions: that infamous paper and the 1.7% statistic.

Dr. Sterling's paper has been long debunked. 1.7% of the general population is not, in fact, intersex. Dr. Sterling ended up with that number by including illnesses like PCOS in intersex conditions. (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12476264/). Some doctors put the estimate at 0.018% of the population.

I'll stop here before we go into a full medical breakdown of what intersex conditions are. I hope, whatever you reason for asking me this was, you got the answer you wanted.

Chromosomes Are Not Sexes - Paradox Institute

Some claim that rare chromosome combinations prove there are more than two sexes, yet these combinations still result in males and females, not new sexes.

“Chromosomes are the input, and sexes are the result.”

If you think there’s more than two sexes, you’re a creationist.

Saying that someone with a DSD condition is something other than male or female is like saying that someone born without legs is something other than human. You’re not being “inclusive,” you’re just a piece of shit.

out of curiosity did you consult any intersex people or orgs when you made your intersex info graphic? obviously discount if you yourself are intersex, i just know that many intersex ppl have expressed concerns about being used as ideological pawns or not being listened to by either radfems or genderists

Yes. The infographic linked here (I know it’s long, I don’t fault you if you didn’t read it) has some citations and quotes from the Intersex Society of North America. You can read their FAQ page here.

I also have ISNA’s original response to this question (from their website from some years ago):

“Sorry, gender warriors… We believe there are two problems with trying to raise kids in a ‘third gender.’ First, how would we decide who would count in the ‘third gender’? How would we decide where to cut off the category of male and begin the category of intersex, or, on the other side of the spectrum, where to cut off the category of intersex to begin the category of female? Second, and much more importantly, we are trying to make the world a safe place for intersexed kids, and we don’t think labeling them with a gender category that in essence doesn’t exist would help them.”

I also included the “Phall-O-Meter”, also courtesy of the Intersex Society of North America:

Tumblr has a 30 image limit per post (which I hit because I had 29 images and a table of contents image), so I had to truncate a lot of material when I was designing this. I used my studies and sources masterdoc linked here to design a lot of material. If you look at my infographic citations, you will see I referenced lots of materials, like gynecology textbooks, surveys on the LGBT community, and countless papers on intersex conditions and people. So I did make an effort! This whole project took me over 30 hours.

I was just very tired of radical feminists/gender critical activists/trans rights activists/conservatives all not knowing what sex means and why it’s binary. Intersex conditions are included in the infographic because I’m also tired of people arguing they disprove the sex binary or mean sex isn’t real, and I’m sure intersex people would like everyone to care more about unnecessary medical interventions and intersexism.

I don’t know any current intersex users in my sphere, but you might find some old posts from @notyourintersexpawn that could be of interest.

He agitates against Tokio Hotel – "Then you can beat them up"

It’s been ten years since Bill and Tom Kaulitz sat next to Dieter Bohlen on the DSDS jury. You don’t have anything good to say about each other anymore. During the sound check before his concert in Cologne on Sunday, musician Dieter Bohlen pulled over the band Tokio Hotel and agitated against them. Selected fans with a VIP ticket were able to meet in the hall and on planks earlier. The…

Published: Dec 2, 2020

The list of bad arguments forwarded by activists designed to undermine the reality of there being two and only two sexes is very long and constantly growing. I dealt with some of these common arguments for Quillette in 2020. However, I came across a tweet by Dr. Shay-Akil McLean responding to Zach Elliott claiming “there are precisely two sexes (no more, no less).”

McLean, who prominently lists five degrees after his name and claims to be a human evolutionary geneticist, took issue with that claim and forwarded a very common—and very wrong—portrayal of biological sex: that different sex chromosome compositions beyond the standard XX and XY each represent their own unique sex. In fact, Dr. McLean appears to suggest in his tweet that there may be as many as 10 biological sexes!

Such extreme misinformation would be concerning coming from anyone, but especially so coming from someone with a PhD in human evolutionary genetics. The 4000+ retweets his tweet received demonstrate just how fast misinformation can spread. However, a glance at his Google Scholar reveals he has authored several papers on racism and only one paper that discusses some topics in genetics yet contains no actual genetic analyses whatsoever. His claim to being a geneticist (of any kind) is therefore dubious. But credentials don’t determine whether someone is right or wrong, and I am sure it wouldn’t be hard to find a real geneticist making the same argument, so let’s look at the argument itself.

The argument that individuals with sex chromosomes that deviate from the typical (46, XX and 46, XY) arrangements, such as those with Klinefelter syndrome (47, XXY) or Turner syndrome (45, X0), is common and usually used to argue that there are 6 sexes, though other numbers are frequently thrown around as well. Searching Twitter for the term “6 sexes” returns countless tweets similar to the one below.

This argument results from a fundamental misunderstanding about what distinguishes males and females biologically, which is the size of the gametes (sex cells) they produce. Males produce small gametes (sperm) and females produce large gametes (ova). But on an individual level (since not all individuals may be able to produce gametes) an organism’s sex corresponds to the type of primary sex organs (testes vs ovaries) and individual has developed.

In mammals, which includes humans, the Y chromosome carries a gene (SRY) that encodes a testes-determining factor. If an individual has a Y chromosome with a functional SRY gene, they will develop testes and therefore will be biologically male. Absent a Y chromosome and functional SRY gene (unless the SRY gene has been transposed to an X chromosome), an embryo will develop ovaries and will therefore be biologically female. What’s important to note is that the presence of a Y chromosome, or two, or three, etc., all result in the development of testes and therefore these individuals are biologically male. Likewise, individuals with additional or fewer X chromosomes, in the absence of a Y, all develop ovaries and are therefore biologically female.

With this in mind, the chart in the above tweet can more accurately be rewritten as:

X – Female

XX – Female

XXY – Male

XY – Male

XYY – Male

XXXY – Male

So no, these different chromosomal compositions are not new sexes, but rather represent natural variation within males and females. To illustrate by way of analogy, a person with Klinefelter syndrome (47, XXY) isn't a new sex in the same way that a person with Down's syndrome (who have 3 instead of 2 copies of chromosome 21) isn't a new species.

==

For several hundred thousand years, and long before anyone knew what a chromosome is, our ancestors have been able to figure out how to make a baby. Nobody needed to be a biologist to figure out who does what.

When grown adults either lie - or otherwise make it clear they legitimately don’t know - about something as basic as where babies come from, they should not be trusted on any other topic.
