Within trans activist circles there’s a misunderstanding (perhaps deliberate) of what intersex actually means. So, for example, a girl with SW Asian phenotype might be hairier, and have a different build than a girl from a European background. This is taken as evidence that the girl with SWA genetics has a higher than average testosterone profile. No more investigation is required by way of genetic testing or physical examination. If someone says they’re intersex then you must believe them and facilitate medical transition.
