AFAIK modern transgender definition don't include hermaphrodites who were fixed in hospital right after birth.
Someone having issues with their hormones doesn't become transgender either.
So I'd say it's safe to say that the person has to have consciously chosen to transition to be considered a transgender. Also, people who didn't transition (yet) on hormonal level but did minor plastic surgeries and wear clothes accordingly are considered transgenders too.
If someone has XXY chromosomes and consider himself one gender their whole life, do they "trans" between something?
- liminvorous 8y agoThere are some degree of differing opinions on this but roughly speaking, people who encounter a person who has xxy chromosomes will make some judgement on whether they are a man or a woman (this is gender, and orthogonal to the fact that they are intersex). If they have a strong preference for which option people pick they are either cis or trans gender depending on whether it matches up with the one people pick or not.
