You are sadly in error

In your video you state that
xx are female
xy are male
xxy are Intersex.

That is an erroneous statement. People with xy and xx (5 alpha reductase, AIS, CAH for an example) can call themselves as Intersex but in actual fact they are born with a condition you and I can only imagine. It is up to the individual themselves to state (or not) in how they want to be presented. Nothing is written in stone.

We see females who are 47xxy, XO (Turner's) and present themselves as Intersex and others female, XY females, XX males the list is endless. None of which is a predetermined condition to be a certain gender. Some xxy's present themselves as male, others female and yet others a combination of the two but they do not consider themselves as Intersex. Not to mention Male Intersex and female Intersex. It is thier right to call themselves what they are comfortable with, Intersex is an umbrella term for all of these.

You are spreading false information about Intersex, I would suggest you inform yourself in the various Intersex Organisations that exist.

Intersex is a way of life, a comfortableness within oneself taking in a non gendered view in people, this is my opinion. There are many here alone that have gone through much more than you or I will ever see, they have the right to call themselves whatever they wish, they sacrificed much to earn that right. The best you or I can do is encourage them each in our own ways.

To continue bickering about who is doing what is blatant disrespect for this site and the members herein.
