#hypergonadism

[dhddmods]

I didn't want to continue derailing the topic on the comment thread but I had a question about something you all mentioned about PCOS.

I was diagnosed with PCOS very young (I believe I was 9, before I had a period)

How would someone be able to know if they have hyperandrogenic PCOS vs hypoestrogenic PCOS? Or is it something I'd need to get blood testing for?

Blood testing would give you an answer, however you might be able to tell based on your symptoms.

If you have hyperandrogenic PCOS (which is roughly 80% of PCOS cases, so it's extremely likely), you'll have the typical hyperandrogenic symptoms. Which we discuss in our intersex guide, but we'll summarize it here.

You'll likely experience at least a few of these symptoms:

-Increased body/facial hair, higher muscle mass, a deepened voice, and/or clitoral growth -Early puberty (which may lead to a shorter height than average), oily skin, higher levels of acne, a high libido, bald patches, high blood cholesterol, diabetes, behavioral disorders, mood disorders, and/or anxiety disorders.

For hypoestrogenic PCOS, its a bit more difficult to identify, but you may experience a few of these symptoms:

-Less or minimal development of secondary sex traits -A delayed puberty, a low libido, genital dryness, a higher risk of urinary tract infections, less body/facial hair than average, low bone density, heart disease, sleep disorders, depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, and/or frequent headaches.

Hyperhormonal ( Hypergonadism ) and Hypohormonal ( Hypogonadism ) general flags and symbols

These are heavily based off of the meanings and colors of my Hyperandrogenism / Hyperestrogenism and Hypoandrogenism / Hypoestrogenism flags. Though the white stripe on these is intended to represent those who have other Hypo- / Hyper- variations as well ( or a mix / combination of variations. )

The symbols are totally copyright free! Here they are isolated:

These are free to be use anywhere by anyone. I just ask that perisex people please be respectful.

[intersex-support]

is hypergonadism intersex ?

Usually, yes! People more usually just write out hyperandrogenism or hyperestrogenism rather than using the term hypergonadism, so you'll probably find more information if you search for either of those terms.

The reasons why hypergonadism wouldn't be intersex is if it was caused as a side effect to medication, through HRT, menopause, if it was caused by a tumor, or it was caused by another temporary cause. Otherwise, hypergonadism is almost always intersex.

Compiling some terms/posts useful for people questioning if intersex

Note: If a definition in is in quotes, the source material it is quoted from is linked to by the relevant term.

Highly relevant terms

Extersex - "[A] term for those who do not know whether they are dyadic or intersex. It could be because one feels as though they might be some form of intersex, but are unable to medically confirm it, or cannot confirm what intersex variation it is. It may also be for those who have a variation that may be considered intersex, but are uncertain if they want to identify as intersex." - @themogaidragon

Inter-Questioning - "a term for anyone who is questioning if they’re intersex, for any reason. (Whether it’s due to one’s physical body, familial experiences that imply one is, or possibly simply a mental feeling that one is intersex.)" - @eldorr

Quoisex - "[An] umbrella term for anyone who doesn't quite understand their sex or doesn't want to define their sex." - LGBTQIA+ Wiki Note: I understand this as more general than extersex, and would include people questioning if altersex. See the wiki entry for subtypes (quoigonadal, quoichest, etc)

Altersex - "An umbrella term to describe having or wanting primary or secondary sex traits/characteristics that do not align with the binary sex model that a significant portion of society has adopted. It is primarily used by those who are not intersex and are trans+ and wish to or transition specifically to have a body that does not fit the aforementioned sex model." -@intersex-questions Note: Being altersex does not make somebody intersex. I include it because many people questioning their intersex status realize this is what they're looking for.

Anisohormonal - "Aniso (unequal/uneven) + hormonal (relating to hormones). An individual who has an imbalance of hormones for any number of reasons. Such individuals may or may not also be intersex." - @sproutflags Note: includes non-intersex variations such as diabetes.

Subtypes of intersex people

Note: In my experience most people questioning if they're intersex have a hormonal intersex variation like PCOS, so I'm skewing towards this accordingly.

Dysgonadal - "[having] dysfunctional gonads. This includes agonadal (no gonads) and hypogonadal. Also known as gonadal agenesis/dysgenesis, dyssex and nullogonadal/asexed (null sex or avaginal/aphallia)." - @arco-pluris Note: contrasted with eugonadal - "people with functional gonads (reproductive cells). Includes hypergonadal (hyperfunctional gonads)"

Interhormonal - "Someone who is intersex and anisohormonal and/or feels that being intersex has impacted their identity as anisohormonal in some way and/or that their identity as anisohormonal has impacted their identity as intersex in some way." - @sproutflags

Intermeer - "a term used to describe all intersex variations that are caused by an overproduction of horomones (testosterone, estrogen, or both.)" - LGBTQIA+ Wiki Variations include: AES, FMPP, PCOS. Part of The Autre System for categorizing intersex variations.

Intermindre - "a term used to describe all intersex variations that are caused by a lack of horomones (testosterone, estrogen, or both.)" Note: The wiki lists AIS and EIS as examples although they are not due to a lack of hormones, but rather a lack of sensitivity to them. Part of The Autre System for categorizing intersex variations. See the wiki for more subtypes. Thank you to anon asker who pointed out the AIS/EIS issue.

Mesosex - "[A] person who has an intersex variation, but one which does not conform to perisex (non-intersex) ideas of what intersex is. For example, people who have intersex traits that are considered "mild", or who have variations such as PCOS Hyperandrogenism and Poland Syndrome." - @ipso-faculty

A comprehensive guide of Male Infertility Treatment

Male infertility is man’s inability to start a pregnancy with his female partner after trying for 1 year with regular sex and no birth control.

Symptoms of Male Infertility 

In some cases, however, an underlying problem such as an inherited disorder, hormonal imbalance, dilated veins around the testicle or a condition that blocks the passage of sperm causes signs and symptoms. 

Problems with sexual function — for example, difficulty with ejaculation or small volumes of fluid ejaculated, reduced sexual desire, or difficulty maintaining an erection (erectile dysfunction)

Pain, swelling or a lump in the testicle area

Recurrent respiratory infections

Inability to smell

Abnormal breast growth (gynecomastia)

Decreased facial or body hair or other signs of a chromosomal or hormonal abnormality

A lower-than-normal sperm count (fewer than 15 million sperm per millilitre of semen or a total sperm count of less than 39 million per ejaculate)

Common Causes of Male Infertility 

Male infertility is a complex issue that can develop from various medical, lifestyle, and environmental factors.

Low Sperm Count (Oligospermia): This condition is characterized by fewer than 15 million sperm per millilitre of semen. Causes include obstructions in the reproductive tract, such as those resulting from cystic fibrosis or surgical trauma to the testicles.

Azoospermia: A complete absence of sperm in the semen affects about 10-15% of infertile men. This can result from hormonal imbalances or blockages preventing sperm from being released.

Abnormal Sperm Morphology (Teratozoospermia): This condition involves more than 96% of sperm having abnormal shapes, which can hinder their ability to fertilize an egg. Factors contributing to this include genetic defects and exposure to toxins like alcohol and drugs.

Low Sperm Motility (Asthenospermia): Low motility means that sperm do not swim effectively towards the egg, which can be caused by infections, genetic issues, or conditions like varicocele.

Varicocele: This is an enlargement of veins within the scrotum that can lead to low sperm count and abnormal sperm shape. It is one of the most common causes of male infertility, affecting around 40% of men with infertility issues.

Hormonal Imbalances: Conditions such as hypogonadism (insufficient hormone production) or hypergonadism (excess hormone production) can significantly affect sperm production and quality.

Infections: Infections in the reproductive tract, including sexually transmitted infections (STIs), can lead to inflammation and reduced sperm quality or quantity. Chronic infections may also cause blockages in the reproductive system.

Genetic Defects: Genetic abnormalities such as Klinefelter syndrome can result in low testosterone levels and poor sperm production due to structural issues in the reproductive system.

Environmental Factors: Exposure to heavy metals, pesticides, and other environmental toxins can adversely affect sperm production and quality. Additionally, lifestyle factors like smoking and excessive alcohol consumption are significant contributors.

Ejaculation Disorders: Conditions such as retrograde ejaculation (where semen enters the bladder instead of exiting through the penis) or premature ejaculation can prevent sperm from reaching the egg during intercourse.

Industrial chemicals: Extended exposure to certain chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, organic solvents and painting materials may contribute to low sperm counts.

Heavy metal exposure: Exposure to lead or other heavy metals also may cause infertility.

Radiation or X-rays: Exposure to radiation can reduce sperm production, though it will often eventually return to normal. With high doses of radiation, sperm production can be permanently reduced.

Overheating the testicles: Elevated temperatures may impair sperm production and function.

Drug use: Anabolic steroids taken to stimulate muscle strength and growth can cause the testicles to shrink and sperm production to decrease. Use of cocaine or marijuana may temporarily reduce the number and quality of sperm as well.

Alcohol use: Drinking alcohol can lower testosterone levels, cause erectile dysfunction and decrease sperm production. Liver disease caused by excessive drinking also may lead to fertility problems.

Weight: Obesity can impair fertility in several ways, including directly impacting sperm themselves as well as by causing hormone changes that reduce male fertility.

Procedure Details of Male Infertility Treatment 

Male infertility treatment involves various procedures that can remove underlying causes of infertility. 

Surgical Treatments

Varicocele Repair: Surgical intervention may be necessary, although it is not always recommended unless the varicocele is significant.

Correction of Blockages: Surgical procedures can treat blockages in the reproductive tract, such as those caused by injury or vasectomy. This may involve reconnecting or opening blocked tubes.

Testicular Biopsy and Sperm Retrieval: In cases of azoospermia (absence of sperm in ejaculate), a testicular biopsy can be performed to retrieve sperm directly from the testicles. This procedure is often done under local anaesthesia and can be followed by techniques like Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI).

Hormonal Treatments

Hormonal imbalances affecting sperm production may be treated with medications such as gonadotropins (hCG and FSH). These treatments aim to stimulate sperm production and can take several months to show results.

Psychological Support

Infertility can cause significant emotional stress for couples. Professional counselling services are often recommended to help manage the psychological impact of infertility treatments.

How Long Does the Procedure Last? 

Male infertility treatments can take one to two years or longer to achieve normal fertility.

Hormonal treatment lasts at least six months and usually one to two years.

Surgical treatments, such as varicocele repair or correction of blockages, generally have a recovery period of about one to three days, but the overall effectiveness in improving fertility may take longer to assess. The full impact on fertility can be evaluated over several months post-surgery.

Assisted reproductive techniques are necessary, procedure time can vary widely depending on individual circumstances and may involve multiple cycles of treatment, each lasting several weeks.

Benefits of Male Infertility Treatment 

Medications can help to restore hormonal balance by increasing testosterone levels and reducing oestrogen levels. This can improve sperm production and overall fertility.

Hormonal therapies can stimulate the pituitary gland to enhance sperm production, particularly beneficial for men with low sperm counts due to hormonal deficiencies.

Surgical procedures can resolve blockages in the reproductive tract, such as those caused by a varicocele or previous vasectomies. These surgeries can restore natural sperm transport and improve fertility outcomes.

For men with azoospermia (no sperm in ejaculate), sperm retrieval through biopsy can facilitate assisted reproductive techniques like ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection), increasing the chances of conception.

ART methods, including IVF and ICSI, allow couples to conceive even with low or abnormal sperm counts. These techniques can significantly increase the likelihood of pregnancy.

In cases of low motility or abnormal sperm, ART can utilize the existing sperm effectively, maximizing the chances of successful fertilization.

Nutritional Supplements helps to enhance sperm integrity, motility and may increase testosterone levels and improve sperm count.

Psychological support can help relieve stress and anxiety associated with fertility challenges. This support can positively impact overall well-being and relationship dynamics.

Risks or Complications Associated with Male Infertility Treatment 

Fertility drugs may cause side effects such as mood swings, headaches, nausea, hot flashes, disrupt the body's natural hormone balance, low libido or changes in sexual function.

In surgical treatments there is risk of Infection, Damage surrounding nerves or blood vessels.

Recurrence of Issues: Even after surgery, there is no guarantee that fertility will improve; some conditions may recur.

For men undergoing cancer treatment, chemotherapy and radiation may severely damage sperm production, leading to temporary or permanent infertility.

Treatment Success Rate: Analysing Effectiveness and Long-Term Benefits 

Hormonal therapy for male infertility can be successful for men with low testosterone levels or other hormonal imbalances. Success rates of hormonal therapy generally range between 30% and 40% depending on the underlying cause of infertility. 

Surgical Treatments, particularly for varicocele, has a success rate of approximately 30% to 60% in improving sperm count and achieving pregnancy, depending on the severity of the varicocele and the presence of other fertility issues. Surgery is more effective in younger men and those with milder forms of infertility.

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI), where sperm is injected into the female partner’s uterus, is often used when sperm count or motility is low. The success rate of IUI depends on several factors but typically ranges from 10% to 20% per cycle. For IUI to be effective, sperm quality needs to be adequate, and the female partner must have normal fertility.

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) with Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is one of the most successful treatments for male infertility, particularly in cases where sperm quality is poor. Success rates for IVF with ICSI vary widely but generally range from 40% to 70% per cycle, depending on the age of the female partner and sperm quality. For men with severe male infertility (e.g., azoospermia or very low sperm count), IVF with ICSI offers the best chance of successful fertilization.

The long-term benefits of male infertility treatment can vary greatly depending on individual circumstances, and multiple treatment options. It can include improved overall health, increased quality of life, and the joy of building a family.

Intersex

Intersex is a term for those born with physical sex characteristics that cannot be traditionally classified as male or female. Variations may appear in a person’s chromosomes, natural hormones, genitalia, gonads, secondary sex characteristics, or some combination of these things. Intersex variations are observed in many animals including humans. According to the ISNA it is estimated that as many as 1.7% of people are born with intersex traits, however this may be an incorrect estimate, as many individuals are unknowingly intersex due to the fact that external genitalia is the only sex characteristic noticed at birth (in most cases).

Intersex does not describe a specific body type but rather is an umbrella term for a broad range of variations/traits. Some intersex individuals may closely resemble one of the binary sexes, while others are closer to in between. An intersex person may have characteristics of both the male and female sexes, characteristics that fall somewhere in between male or female, or characteristics that don't fall into either.

Intersex individuals may have any gender identity, including male, female, and non-binary. They may identify as cisgender or transgender, or possibly another gender modality such as ipsogender or ultergender. Intersex people can have any assigned gender at birth, some may be AMAB or AFAB because their variation of intersex was not noticed at birth. Others may be corrosively assigned male/female at birth (CAMAB/CAFAB), meaning they had nonconsensual surgery preformed on them so their body more closely fits one of the binary sexes. In some rare cases they are AXAB. Each intersex person has a unique relationship to their gender, assigned gender at birth, the gender they were raised as, and how that relates to their experience being intersex. Intersex is included in the LGBT+ community, though not all intersex people consider themself to be LGBT+ on the basis on being intersex. This is largely a personal choice based on how one's status as intersex has (or hasn't) affected their experiences.

Someone who is not intersex is called dyadic or perisex. Intersex is not an identity, but is something one is born as. Some intersex traits are identified at birth, while others may not be discovered until puberty or later in life (although, the variation was always present, just unnoticed). One cannot "transition to intersex". Dyadic people who desire mixed sex traits may identify as altersex.

i wish to know all the fun nine facts 😞🤲🤲

// WHAAAA NINE FUN FACT TIME !!!!!!! here’s some ( ´ ∀ `)ノ～ ♡

pretty sure you wanna know about why his voice is so deep and why he’s so fuckin huge lol. in short, abnormal hormones. he developed differently than other kids because of it, and even today there’s a few lasting health problems. his mom was decently tall (5’9-5’11) but she was very skinny and frail, his brother took after her, tall (6’0-6’2) but scrawny. his dad was a bigger guy though, 6’3 with a decent amount of weight on him. but nine surpasses all of them, 6’8 and well over 200 pounds. he was given little to no medical attention as a child, but the one time he did end up in the hospital, the nurses concluded he had hypergonadism. it’s unknown to him if it was caused by another underlying condition. in his case, it’s not the most severe, so he doesn’t have all of the symptoms obviously. but for him, it does cause his deeper voice, weight gain, increased muscle mass, sleep apnea, high libido, insomnia, early growth spurt, and various others. he would’ve had a lot of hair and acne on him too, but the condition of his skin diluted that a lot.

he’s latine on his moms side white on his dads side. he knows a decent amount of spanish since he was a mommas boy, but he doesn’t excel in it yknow ?

said this before but he’s autistic !! he doesn’t recognize that his behavior might be inappropriate at times, misses certain social cues, hyper vigilant of other social cues, hyper vigilant of others behavior, echoes, and lots of other stuff, but the most important part comes with sensory overload. when he gets sensory overload, he doesn’t shut down, but gets very very angry. he will stop whatever it is from making noise. if he’s coming after you, impairing his vision and making loud noises will guarantee a death wish. do you ever wonder why he did what he did ? why he does what he does ?

he used to do ballet for a while as a kid. 

y’all called it, but yes his voice would probably sound like corpse. used that one so u can see what i mean when i said nine’s yelling sounds different from his talking. if you wanna know what his laugh sounds like then here !! bam bam bam more refs bc i rlly like his voice (＾▽＾)

yes his middle name is lorena, it means laurel. i wonder what that means.

the catboy nine thing started out as a joke but now it’s a legitimate thing.

i’m sure you’ve noticed but he uses pet names a LOT, even if he knows you well he’ll barely call you by your name. again, sometimes it doesn’t click right away that people might be like “um ?”. people are usually either suspicious or flustered.

[dhddmods]

so, I had a question about being intersex.

so I’ve been questioning being intersex for a while but it’s only really become more prevalent recently and I wanted to get other(?) intersex people’s opinions on it.

so I’m mullipatherian except due to hypothyroidism my body produces too much testosterone (I think that’s called hyperandrogism?). It also mimics symptoms of PCOS which i may have but that’s another can of worms. So I guess my question is would you consider that intersex?

Hi! That is most definitely not mulleripathian. If your body is producing high levels of testosterone naturally, that is intersex.

If you've read our intersex guide (you really should if you haven't yet!) you'd see that hyperandrogenism (including hyperandrogenic PCOS) is an intersex variation.

Here's a copy and pasted version of the hyperandrogenism segment:

Hyperandrogenism: A trait in which an individual has high levels of androgens. If they have ovaries, this describes having higher levels of androgens than mulleripathians do. If they have testicles, this describes having higher levels of androgens than wolffipathians do. As a lone variation, this comes in both an XX form and an XY form. In 80% of cases the XX form is caused by Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), a genetic condition that causes the ovaries to overproduce hormones, which may cause cysts to develop on the ovaries. Those with the XX form have XX chromosomes, a vulva or clitoromegaly, two ovaries, and a uterus. During puberty (without the influence of HRT), they will either have estrogen and androgens at near-equal levels, or have androgens as the main sex hormones, and will likely develop increased body/facial hair, higher muscle mass, and a deepened voice, with the possibility of breasts and widened hips. If androgens are their main sex hormones, they may also have hypoestrogenism, meaning their estrogen levels might be lower than mulleripathians. Pregnancy is possible, however they are at a higher risk of infertility. Those with the XY form have XY chromosomes, a penis (possibly a macropenis), two testicles (possible with macroorchidism), and a prostate. During puberty (without the influence of HRT), they will have testosterone as their main sex hormone (though it will be high), and will likely develop increased body/facial hair, higher muscle mass, and a deepened voice. They may have hypoestrogenism, meaning their estrogen levels might be lower than wolffipathians. They may be capable of producing sperm, but are at a higher risk of infertility. The XX form is extremely common, occurring in 5-10% of AFAB people. The XY form is rare. Common traits and disabilities that may co-occur include an early puberty (which may lead to a shorter height than average), oily skin, higher levels of acne, a high libido, bald patches, high blood cholesterol, diabetes, behavioral disorders, mood disorders, and anxiety disorders. Familial Male-Limited Precocious Puberty (FMPP)/Testotoxicosis is an extremely rare form of the XY form of hyperandrogenism, where puberty-influencing androgen production begins extremely early, causing puberty to begin between the ages of 1-5 years old.

So TLDR; yes, you are intersex if you have hyperandrogenism!

The only time it's not intersex is when its from an androgen-producing/androgen-disrupting tumor.

[cuntess-carmilla]

Hiii i had a question if you wanted to share ur thoughts: i would by some definitions of being intersex count as intersex. I was put on hormones at a young age due to what is likely PCOS, I've faced scrutiny of my body and it's development in a gendered sense my whole life, but I also was too poor to really go to the doctor much so like, no one was explicitly saying to me I was intersex. the thing is the line between dyadic and intersex feels really, really hazy to me. I have a partner (1/?)

who is AMAB and she faced similar hormonal differences and medical scrutiny of her body's puberty growing up (we have talked about having mirror image experiences to one another) that it seems, based on how many intersex people define intersex it hormones, would mean she was intersex. But I've noticed that a lot of intersex people who talk about hormone differences in intersexuality often only discuss PCOS and low estrogen and not hypergonadism related to low testosterone (2/?)

etc. I think this, combined with things I've seen with regards to really virulent transmisogyny among some tme intersex people, makes me skeptical of who is defining these borders and why no one else seems to notice this. I don't know if you have any thoughts/comments on this or have noticed this yourself? Most of my exposure to this has been in an online space for the record. (3/3)

Hi, babe! I’m afraid I’m a dyadic person who has very little knowledge on intersex issues beyond the barest of basics + I’m TME, so I don’t think I could give any decent input on this beyond saying that I'm so sorry that both you and your partner have gone through those things and that you’ve encountered transmisogyny in online intersex spaces.

I don’t know where exactly to direct you for proper answers. I have at least one mutual who’s intersex but I don’t know if he feels comfortable with me just exposing her like that without his consent, you know?

However, if anyone who sees this feels qualified to give a proper answer and wants to, please give it a shot, especially if there’s any intersex transfem who’d like to say something on the subject.

WW3 concept

Wind pierces the very fabric of their ballbags, sand flows into the crevices of the bellybuttons of these two fearsome warriors. Nipples erect. Nutsack drooping with machismo. This is it. The deciding battle, the final obstacle in each of these ethereal beings ways. Who will be victorious? 

 A rapid beginning to this hugely anticipated fight as Bin laden lifts off, planting his leg in Saddam's chest like he was parodying the Doom Eternal cover art; a sublime airborne assault to commence the confrontation of a lifetime. Saddam is having none of this affair and retaliates with a brawny blow to the back of the neck, slicing Bin Laden's annulis. These two brutes are said to be evenly matched. A clash of titans. The outcome may only be squeaked out by the finest of nuthairs, but for now the winner is yet to be decided for they are both evenly matched.

 Bin Laden grabs his Keffiyeh and really starts to up the anti, using it to grab Saddam's arm, dragging him over like Scorpion while doing a 360 degree turn into a squat with flawless execution; while bending down, he scoops up a handful of sand flicking it in the eyes of Hussein, bringing into play his prior experience as the infamous toothfairy. The chutzpah, the gall, the sheer masculinity to taunt his enemy in such a nuts to butt's and evenly matched fight maybe proves the hypergonadism rumours to be true. Saddam falls on his knees, emphatically shrieking in pain; he is rattled. Saddam however, is a true juicer warlord and will not back down from a fight no matter how the odds look, after all he is also an ex taliban member. He doesn't need his eyes, he is the anime protagonist the world didn't need, he is his own God and he will win! He gets up with shaky movement and goes for a full power Nigel barrage of punches and kicks, Osama backing away one micrometer at a time, parrying each and every one of Saddam's pitiful excuses for an attack. In the matter of three seconds, hussein's misplaced hubris is dumbed down to terror. Osama strikes, launching a bone crunching blow to the central invertebral disc of his rival’s spine, creating a herniation. This damage inhibits Saddam's ability to walk and leads him to fall on the ground, pleading for mercy internally although his Abdul's belly sized ego will never allow him to utter those words truly. This is it. The end...

 OR IS IT?! Saddam runs through the past traumas of his life and all of a sudden decides he can't die now. He feels the warmth eminating from his pubes, and feels a golden aura gleeming from his body, he had achieved what no man has done before, become so retarded he thinks he's turned super saiyan in a dream... Bin laden laughs and in his toxic pontification quotes, "I always knew you were a weak, curry munching bastard, and now you have faced the wrath of the number one macho tough guy". Saddam tries to muster 1 single word but his nutsack has become too shrivelled to even speak now, it is so disappointed in him it's trying to do the Luka's dad special and run away. "hehehe" is all saddam says, "what's so fun-" AND WITH ONE SWIFT MOTION, SADDAM HITS THE BUTT PLUG ON HIS CHIN AND SETS OFF A NUCLEAR, GEOTHERMAL SUICIDE VEST RIGHT THEN AND THERE! THE TWO PROLIFIC JUICER WARLORDS TAKEN OUT IN ONE FOUL SWOOP?!

 A huge ploom of flames and smoke form a giant mushroom cloud, some bystanders mourn in despondency, while others cheer with exasperation. After all the two most evil and powerful people in the world have just perished, but who will feed them their daily ration of cum now? BUT WAIT!

 Out from the smoke, a shadowy silhouette appears to be inching its way closer and closer, everyone stops and looks in awe, it can't be.

 Rishi Sunak has entered the frey... 

 Naked.

 The end.

Hey, are people with PCOS and hyperandrogenism intersex in some form? I've been seeing discussion of it a lot and as somebody with these things, I want to make sure that I'm not invading on any spaces.

I think it's up for the individuals to determine themselves as intersex or not. It depends on the description of intersex-ness, they can be intersex.

You wouldn't be invading our space, because parsex-ness is broader encompassing these sex variant conditions, and if you think this is not inclusive enough, there's varsex for sex variance.

At least I wouldn't inherently consider them as endosex/perisex or dyadic.

Biosex adjective glossary

These biosexual (biological sex) corporeal terms use depathological gender-neutral terminology. Phenotypic sex (Wolffian × Müllerian), gonadal, hormonal and genital sexes. Genotype, sex chromosomes genes in the references.

Wolffian (x): a person having testicles / dominantly testonized from the uterus;

Müllerian (x): a person having ovary / dominantly estradiolized from the uterus.

Eugonadal: people with functional gonads (reproductive cells). Includes hypergonadal (hyperfunctional gonads);

Dysgonadal: dysfunctional gonads. This includes agonadal (no gonads) and hypogonadal. Also known as gonadal agenesis/dysgenesis, dyssex and nullogonadal/asexed (null sex or avaginal/aphallia).

Ambigonadal or Bigonadal (ovotestis/ambisex): ambiguous gonads, with both testicular and ovarian aspects, not necessarily both functionals;

Disex (digenital/digonadal): uterus didelphys or diphallia, double genitalias/gonads, not to be confused with desex/dessex;

Unigonadal or Monogonadal: people with one reproductive system only, ovarian or testicular gonads.

Microgametic (spermatogenic/testi person): someone who produces spermatogenesis, the smaller of a pair of conjugating gametes, motile sperm cell (spermatozoon) or moving form of the haploid cell;

Macrogametic or Megagametic (ovogenic/ovari person): someone producing oogenesis, with ovum (egg cell), the larger of a pair of conjugating gametes in oogamous organisms.

Angenital, nullsex, bigenital/salmacian and xenogenital are altersex terms. The original or actual conditions are often called ambigenital, agenital (vulvotestis/ambiguous and null-genitalia), vulvovaginal and penoscrotal. Testoid ('andro'genic) and (o)estrogenic are the hormones.

Protosex/protsex is the opposite of altersex, perisex/endosex and dyadic/duasex counterpoints of intersex.

So instead of saying people with ovary/vagina and C/AMAB/DMAB body, you can say macrogametic vulvarians and Wolffian corporeality (there are AMAB Müllerians tho).
