…you do understand that an intersex person is not the same thing as a trans person, right? Or is this another one of those cases where ‹checks notes› one is pretending to not to understand things?

Gonna need you to expand on that, because I don't see how that sentence is “uniquely LLM” at all. It feels pretty typical for legal people speaking informally.
