I’m intersex. Non standard genitals. Times and times again I’m being made to choose to be a man or a woman. My pleas to get minimal hormones just to be healthy are ignored. I’m in medical debt due to dealing with debilitating complications from doctors forcing my body to be either female or male. Letting my body be it’s normal self minus what was causing actual issues was never an option. I’m deeply convinced if nonbinary people were acknowledged this wouldn’t be the case. I’m given zero control. Asking to be put on low dose is ignored. My only option is refusing all hormones and hoping my body will manage. I don’t have natural dysphoria, I get dysphoria from the surgical and hormonal changes forced upon me. I’m tired. Fuck nbphobia.
Well, “intersex” (the word OP used) is nonbinary, no? And sometimes characterised by “nonstandard genitalia”. I was only aware of the genetic condition though, if OP is in a different situation then I’m completely unfamiliar. Hopefully I can find more to read, or they can provide a link; I’ll update here if I find anything else.

no. Intersex people can be any (or no) gender, just like everyone else, OP happens to be nonbinary.
Ah, you’re talking about gender there; I was focused on the physical aspect. Derp moment.
