I just recently found that I am IS. How it has taken this long to find this out is beyond me... Whatever though. And, this is long after knowing that i'm TG. What does this mean? Like Keaira said, not much. The only major difference is that it makes things far more complicated. I've just tried to explain it to my parents, and they're completely lost.

@ Zenda, people have heard of transsexual before... most people, including doctors, have no idea what involves being intersexed. So, I doubt it.

I can see where you are coming from though, OP. I think IS and TG in many occasions go hand-in-hand, but I'm not so sure it should be added to the IS category.

If I do have PMDS, does that move me to the IS group with TS as a subgroup? Or the other way round? Which one comes first since both occur on the womb?

I guess what I'm trying to say is, that if I had to explain my medical history would I say, " I was born intersex but I corrected my body to match my gender" or would I tell them " I'm an MtF who later discovered she was intersex."
Which category from a medical standpoint is the more important?
