Over the last year this blog has cast a seriously skeptical eye on the proliferation of highly dubious claims by people with transsexualism or ->-bleeped-<- to being physically intersex rather than TS or TG.
The examination of these claims to improbable intersex conditions was prompted by things we were reading on a mailing list that was founded with the purpose of removing GID from the DSM. We were going WTF? WTF? Particularly, considering the majority of these claims were not coming from kids who might have exhibited a physical appearance that would have caused someone looking at them, even as they were dressed as boy. and say, "My that kid looks more like a girl than a boy". Kids whose bodily build would indicate a failure to masculinize.
