Hey there,
I'm sorry, I've noticed there were many topics like "am I/is s/he intersexed," et cetera, and I don't mean to spam this area any more; however, I have some questions about intersexuality and I think this place would be the best to ask. Hope you don't mind!
Anyway, I know a [little] bit about ambiguous genitalia and how that is a defining trait in intersexed persons... but is there something beyond sex organs that defines intersexuality, like bones? I ask because of the slight differences between standard male and female skeletal structures: pelvises, finger lengths (albeit, fingers are not too defining), ribs, and so on. I also ask because my bone structure seems to be evenly split from the left side to the right side. My right clavicle is very large and pronounced whilst my left clavicle is very "delicate" and not pronounced in comparison; my right hand's ring finger is longer than my index finger by a considerable length, but it's not as noticeable on my left hand; my right hip bone is not very pronounced, but my left hip bone definitely flares (I'm slender, so it's not an uneven distribution of fat, it's the bones); and even my feet/toes are different from right to left side but there isn't really a difference between male and female feet in the bones (not that I know of, anyway?). Interestingly enough, my left foot (how the toes align) is just like my mum's, in the meantime, my right foot is just like my dad's so it stays in theme. My face is even androgynous, I can easy pull off male or female depending how I "dress myself up" (or don't). The only thing I don't think is too different (to my knowledge, no X-rays to confirm) is my ribs aren't that different?
I'm probably reading too much into it, but I can't help but wonder. There have even been tales where I was always thought to be one sex up until birth (that sex was announced when I came out), but then that was claim was apparently a mistake - I don't know any more details than that. My birth-given name (legal) is 100% unisexed, but I do have a secondary "unofficial" middle name for the sex I was supposed to be that has sometimes (but not often) been used. I'm also an artist, so I go to school and do nude figure drawings and my genitals are both alike and not alike the people of the same sex, though that isn't my concern since genitals vary from person-to-person.
So, what do you think? What do you know? Is intersexuality defined by bones as well as sex cells and organs? Is this something I should bring up with my doctor? Aside from my lack of assurance, I don't have any medical problems relating to such (that I know of) so it's probably unnecessary.
Anyway, that's it for now, thanks ahead of time and have an awesome day! (Or try to, at least.)
