After seeing some of the discourse and tons of misinformation on various subreddits I just needed some validation I guess!! I’ve always had a very difficult relationship with my gender identity due to being intersex. I came out as nonbinary in highschool but as I’ve gotten much older I feel like the nonbinary term doesn’t quite fit me? I’m also perfectly okay with having nothing to strictly define my gender and just telling friends/family I’m still using they/them pronouns, but I’m unsure.

After seeing some of the drama online of (uninformed) people saying that “Intersex isn’t real” or “Being intersex is just a deformation” or “no one identifies as intersex” … I’m feeling so confused and unsure!! I know it’s okay to identify as intersex but I worry about people irl questioning my choices to just identify as intersex.

Does anyone else have a similar experience? Anyone else just identify as intersex? Feel free to share stories or whatever, I just wanna talk to yall and feel better!!

EDIT: I AM intersex. I am asking about using it as a gender identity AS WELL
