Another explanation from a little know-it-all who majors in Environmental Engineering

You are exactly like me, shelly! Oh my God.
About our feminized brains: my psychiatrist has told me that the lack of androgen and the surplus of estrogen from my feminized testicles has caused my brain to be irreversibly female. There is no way estrogen blockers would magically transform our brains into male brains.
And about your mom: I have the same relationship with my mom. I'm only 23, yet I'm scared to death about the rest of my life with her. . I'm scared she'll hate me forever. . .
About the statistic: another cause of intersexuality is environmental, during the fetus's stay in the womb. Hormone pollution from cows and some pesticides cause the fetus to develop inaccordingly to hir chromosomes. S/he then becomes intersexed at birth. This, of course, does not show up in genetic tests, and would probably account for some of the 80%.
