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.

I do not have chimerism. I am indeed not trans though.

Ah, I see. I won't ask, because you've said that's not cool, but when I did Google it I only found similar to the article I linked. I'll see if I can find anything else, but if you have paper(s) you feel describe what you're experiencing and would like to provide link(s), I'd love to understand better. Of course, no pressure ๐Ÿ˜Š
