I have red hair AND also happen to have Swyer Syndrome with MGD. I was under the impression that Swyer showed up in more people though...As for my case: I didn't even find out about it until I was 32. - I had psychiatrists who knew about it prior and withheld the information from me. I can tell you that everything made sense after I learned about the oddity. - everything about my self-hood and why I am like I am finally made sense.
The Fausto-Sterling parameters are too strict? Welcome in the sex of birth definition. I also read Sax' articles. Excluding the Klinefelter syndrome is highly arguable. Besides the part on chromosomes, they have low testosterone level, high sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and raised gonadotrophins (LH and FSH levels). Not clinically relevant features? Weaker muscles and bones, wider hips, enlarged breast, increased belly fat (all conditions going toward a female development), smaller testicles and penis and so on. Intersex is exactly everything that doesn't fit in those "rigid parameters"
Its still intersex because of the change in chromosomes. Looking male does not mean they are biologically male. They have an extra X chromosome that only females have. Intersex is a sex in itself where youre not exactly biologically female or male regardless if its physical or internal (hormones, internal genital altercation, external genital differences, chromosomes) intersex is any biological difference that is not the same as female or male criteria.
This would have been a male, if not for the disorder. In this case, it makes sense to refer to them as female, since the gonads are ambiguous, and do not produce either gamete
How funny.

It's still not intersex. XXY men look and are male.

He has a Y chromosome. He's a male.
Women can be born with XY chromosomes, does that also make them male even if they were born with female sexual organs? 🧐🧐
