Have you ever been to a gynecologist or any doctor who gave you a pap smear/saw your junk at all?

I think it's fairly common to find out you are intersex after you have gone thru this for awhile (not my experience). But I do know several people who only found out later they were intersex. There are thousands of possible conditions. It sounds like a possibility and if it would help you get care, should probably see some sort of specialist (a gynecologist is a good start here, they would know what things are supposed to look like). I know someone who got top surgery paid because they found he was intersex. As I recall you are in some conservative country which might be more okay with transition if you were intersex.

Jossef, from what you have described, it does sound as if you might be intersex. But only medical professionals can determine that for sure. I know that finances are tight for you right now, but try to find a way to see a doctor in the near future. Either save up or find someone who will see you for a reduced fee. Do you have low-cost clinics in your neck of the woods? Or a family member who might be willing to help you out?

I, too, am curious to know whether being intersex improves your chances of transitioning without prejudice or at least with less. You've really had a lot to put up with, and it would be nice if something went your way for a change.
