Anne Fausto-Sterling s suggestion that the prevalence of intersex might be as high as 1.7% has attracted wide attention in both the scholarly press and the popular media. Many reviewers are not aware that this figure includes conditions which most clinicians do not recognize as intersex, such as Klinefelter syndrome, Turner syndrome, and late-onset adrenal hyperplasia. If the term intersex is to retain any meaning, the term should be restricted to those conditions in which chromosomal sex is inconsistent with phenotypic sex, or in which the phenotype is not classifiable as either male or female. Applying this more precise definition, the true prevalence of intersex is seen to be about 0.018%, almost 100 times lower than Fausto-Sterling s estimate of 1.7%.

Typical idiots writing articles these days. They don’t even define the term of their paper.
This would be less than 60,000 people in the entire population of the United States.
Intersex condition is extremely rare. That means someone born with both male and female genitalia. The old term for this
was Hermaphroditism. It used to be the rule that the delivering Baby doctor would make a quick decision on what sex to assign to that infant, what the parents would be told.
That was before the condition could be detected while in utero.
This looks like the definition they are attempting to clarify:
"If the term intersex is to retain any meaning, the term should be restricted to those conditions in which chromosomal sex is inconsistent with phenotypic sex, or in which the phenotype is not classifiable as either male or female."
A paper on Pat? d;^)
No way is it 1.7%. This would mean almost 2 people for every 120 or so. I’ve met hundreds, perhaps thousands of people throughout my career I seriously doubt any of them were multi-sexed. I am developing a serious doubt to everything I read that starts with “Studies show....” or “Studies have found”, etc. More so since wacko Fauci.
The left is great at changing definitions.
It’s not 1.7%.
It’s .001%.
Klinefelter, Turners, CAH, NCCAH and others (1.7%) can sometimes experience gender dysphoria due to hormonal imbalances. For most, it abates when puberty ends. For those that remain dysphoric, it can last a lifetime.
It is statistically impossible for all these kids to be trans.
There must be an underlying medical condition. In the case of my middle child, it was NCCAH. When puberty ended, the dysphoria did not abate.
Life altering. Wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.
One of two things here.
1) this paper was not peer reviewed.
2) the writer has a political agenda.
Just being Capt Obvious here.
So here is a question for a doctor . KHELIF’S trainer has admitted he has chromosome and hormonal problems and took medicine to lower testosterone. This guy said khelifs body changed while taking the medicine to be less muscular.
IBA said the test came back XY.
A endocrinologist in Paris supposedly examined him and declared him female .
What kind of disorders fit that scenario.
Swyer’s Syndrome.
Free floating adrenal androgens are the precursor to sex hormones (think of them as the stem cells of hormones). People with Swyer’s Syndrome have an androgen intolerance. Their body does not respond properly to estrogen and testosterone and they don’t develop normally (both during gestation and after being born).
At the cellular level, they are incomplete men. To the world, they have a vagina, may possess fallopian tunes, may have undescended testes, are usually sterile, and are raised as women. They are truly intersexed; this is different from transgenderism.
So, yes, a person can be born with female genitalia and never know they have XY chromosomes until tested.
The condition is very rare. Supermodel Hanne Odeile has Swyer’s.
Vapid explanation of the science of homo pervertism.
“Wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.” Me neither. Must be very stressful, and I would imagine emotionally draining.
Real simple
If not XX chromosome
And female-normal level of testosterone
Then the person does not get into women’s competition
But can compete with men
