Intersex activist Peggy has contacted me about the ongoing problems with posers and fakes in both the transsexual (TS) and intersex (IS) communities. ("Peggy" is the pseudonym of a woman with grade 5 PAIS who grew up as a boy but changed to living as a woman in early adulthood. She has been active in the AIS support group USA.) Both groups occasionally encounter people who self-diagnose as TS or IS because they see these demographic groups as more socially acceptable. Others pose as TS or IS people because of a fixation or fascination with these groups, often of a sexual nature. These troubling trends are exacerbated by two things.
