I Always believed i'm an intersex and still ,before my puberty i remember i had like a small ball in the right side down there and i thought its a testicl but after puberty it disappeared but its still there if i touch there i can feel its there but its not seen like before, also the fact that i pass pretty well people talk to me and noway they know i'm trans i'm not saying i have a high T but i pass also i build musles fast if i go to gym for two weeks i start to see the results also i'm tall and i have big feet ( a bio male size) also my chest looks like a chest of an overweight person and if i lay on my back shirtless my chest is 100% a male chest and finally (thats kinda embarassing) but about the sex part i can have a full intercouese with my gf i'm not saying 100% as a bio male but its a full intercourse...do you guys think i'm intersex? if i'm that would help a lot cause here they can help intersex people...anyone here have informations or have the same case as me?!

Delayed puberty or low estrogen levels could cause much of what you are describing so it's hard to point to any one thing and say you are. The only way to be sure would be to have a doctor run several tests because intersex can be caused by more than one process. You should also have the doctor examine the lump as it could be caused by something other than intersex. The only way to tell for sure without a doctor is if your body has major differences from normal development.

You should probably have the lump looked at - but it could be a good cover if you're young enough that your parents have to make your doctor's appointments as it might not be anything to do with you being intersex

I believe there are some medical tests that can be done to determine whether or not you're intersex? I'm not sure though.

You have to go to a doctor to know for sure. There are a lot of different kinds of intersex, so we can't really tell you. The fact that you are big enough to have sex with your girlfriend is a clue. So is your height and big foot size.

I don't want to get too personal here, but do you menstruate? If you do, it's not likely that you have testicles. It's also possible that you have PCOS.

Here is a list of the types of intersex condition. It might help you figure something out. http://www.isna.org/faq/conditions
