I heard this before and I want o set the record straight because I'm sick of rumors if we say a woman has XXY chromosomes. they have the body of a woman and face of one but have external male organ can they get someone pregnant?

I’ll try my best at this one because this one gets tricky.  I apologize in advance if I get some of it wrong.

Of the XXY people I’ve talked to, about half identify as female and the other half as male.

As far as I know, XXY people can produce sperm but very often in such low quantity to actually get a girl pregnant.  There was an episode of Baby Story on Discovery Channel about two weeks ago where a XXY guy was able to get his wife pregnant but it took some medical help to find enough of them to inseminate his wife’s egg.

Don’t really pay attention to the Y chromosome.  Studies often show up that XXY people end up XX dominant and are ordinary reproductive females, and also of females who test as being XY but are completely reproductive girls.

Probably my best friend ever finally came out to me after many years and said she tests XY but is a completely ordinary, reproductive female.

I'm new to tumblr- is there an active intersex community? How can I connect?

Not on Tumblr, but pretty much any intersex person you’ve ever seen is on Facebook.

This person just came back from learning that she has CAIS and does her best to explain it to us and how she feels about that.

Imy shares her five best things about having CAIS.

Note: Imy also shares that these are not common amongst all CAIS individuals, just among many she has connected to.

Intersex activist Del LaGrace Volcano asks people what they think makes them men or women.

Del is a really awesome person and I’m glad to have connected to a person such as Del who is willing to go out and create a video like this.
