This seems to be the main issue of confusion here. It seems like maybe people aren't reading the full article? I didn't see anything that suggested that these children were transgender (biologically speaking)? (Or am I wrong?)
- delecti 9y agoIn general, the word transgender is used to describe people who internally identify as a gender other than what they were assigned at birth. In this case, the people described in the article grow up to identify as men despite being assigned female at birth. The definition is admittedly a bit weird when dealing with intersex people, but there you go.
- freeflight 9y agoSome people just want to see this as evidence for "genderfluidity" being an actual thing, which it ain't, it's actually evidence to the contrary.
- JimboOmega 9y agoThey quote one of them saying they were never happy as a little girl... before puberty I don't know how else to describe someone who appears female but feels wrong in that gender assignment. That's transgender.
