>>229620That's definitional. Is Caroline Cossey a man? Are CAIS women men? All of these people have the SRY gene. None of them can father children, ever. Even true hermaphrodites have the SRY gene, even though it might be a genetic mosaic.
>>229622There's also XYY and XXX and both conditions have (comparably mild) effects but generally do not impair fertility, while XXY usually does kill fertility. Another one of those chromosomal mishaps is X0 (Turner syndrome) in women which also impairs fertility.
Klinefelter syndrome affects about 1 in 1000 boys, while PAIS is 1:20'000 and CAIS 1:100'000 so there are a lot more Klinefelter boys than there are CAIS women. The same is true for the other chromosomal aberrations, XXX and X0 as well as XYY are far more common than AIS.
>>229664> people with Klinefelter's syndrom are unmistakenly maleThey are also unmistakably Klinefelter, as are Turner women unmistakably Turner women, at least once you are familiar with the symptomology. You could also, just as legitimately say, Klinefelter males aren't real males, they are feminine and infertile, they are somewhere in between men and women.
I am not saying you have to accept these as women, I am merely pointing out they have a legitimate claim when they say they are not males, even though a superficial inspection might suggest they are.
With CAIS, not even a superficial inspection would reveal them as anything other than female.
Most other intersex conditions can be summed up as "weird/malformed genitals" in otherwise typical-presenting males or females. That can be a girl with an enlarged clit that passes as a dick, or a boy where the penis didn't normally form and so there are labia and internal testes (i.e. ovaries that do not produce eggs nor sperm).
Another example of an "intersex condition" that I don't consider an intersex condition (as opposed to Klinefelter, which I do consider as an intersex condition but often isn't considered one, for afore mentioned reasons) is adrenal hyperplasia, what results in women that are a bit more manly than average. But still fertile, just less so.
There is a gradient, some people are just more one thing or the other thing, and so you do have normal people who are more like their cross-sex stereotype. Effeminate men, butch women and vice versa. The cutoff for me is where they naturally can have children. XXY males are naturally sterile (or like 99% sterile) while adrenal hyperplasia-women have something like 60% the fertility of normal, and they have to be fertile because the condition is fundamentally inheritable, which chromosomal aberrations aren't.
If you can't have children because of how you were born, maybe without a dick or without a womb, and you feel like you'd have a better time as the gender than what you were assigned with I can accept that. Because nobody can say with any degree of certainty that you are that sex that you were assigned at birth. Because sex is a part of reproduction, and without reproduction, there is no real meaning to the sex.
But that's a far cry from perfectly normal healthy specimens what could reproduce as their birth sex, rendering themselves infertile and disfigured because of retarded coomer fantasies. They do not become the other sex, they become sexless instead.
