What do intersex bodies look like? (Pt 2) [+CC Español, Türkçe] 

Don't mess with intersex people unless you want to be ABSORBED xD

I have Anorchia. I was assigned Male at birth and now I'm 22 year old woman. I was never introduced to the term Intersex. I've discovered that recently thanks to the internet and it's helped me on feeling part of a community. Love your videos.

This video was amazingly validating to me! I have PCOS and started puberty way earlier than my peers. Growing up I felt like I was ugly and freakish, had doctors and people push on me ideas about what my body should or should not look like. As I'm growing older and going to therapy, having to look back at my life and who I am is hard when you have people on all sides also trying to make this decisions for you. I deeply appreciate having encountered your videos. It feels like I have found a safe corner in the internet.

This was a great video, and your explanations are great. I've never seen someone define intersex and intersex body types in such a neutral, nonstigmatizing, and easily understood way.

I guess I'm a "regular" guy who is curious. I thought this was an excellent video and tutorial, smart and informative just the right touch of humor.

Yay, you mentioned PCOS which I have ♥ I'm lucky, that the german intersex community is very kind and open to people with hormonal intersex variations, but I'm still a bit shy about using that term for me (that seems to be a struggle for a lot of people with similar conditions). My mother has PCOS too and even had surgery on the surface of her ovaries so they produce less testosterone. Of course she has no idea what intersex or PCOS is and I'm the one now who show her all the things and definitions. So thank you for mentioning PCOS. ♥

Humanity first. Everyone deserves equal rights and equal love.

You introduced this issue with EXCELLENT grasp of the knowledge and science, more than I have ever known as a nurse. Your way of explaining was easy to follow. Good job!

Although I'm not intersex I have always wondered about these things..specifically the twin absorbtion

i Love how you start each video with "hi hello i'm hans" it's Very Good

Truly appreciate you and your videos and putting out awareness. I was Born Intersex, my mother was supposed to have fraternal twins boy and girl. Before the two embryos could form into two babies. The chromosomes fused together and made me. When I was born into this world I was born with a vagina an enlarged clitoris, fallopian tubes, a uterus, and testicles. I have menstrual cycles. I'm a man on the outside and a woman on the inside. #krispheonix

One of my friends is intersex and so I wanted to learn more about it. Thanks for another awesome video!

Thank you for the video. I really didn’t know much about intersex people but I’m starting to do more research and educate myself, and this video really helped!

very interesting, it's sad we didn't learn this in school

"Dropouts", "Step Skippers" and "Midpoints" should be the official nomenclature of the DSM-V.

Very educational, with a wicked sense of humor. Thanks!

Hi, I've just discovered your videos and watched the 2 parts. I have a question ... if someone is 'completely' female phyically but with a higher testosterone level, strength and small amounts of course chin hair, would/could that be classed as intersex? Thanks for an amazingly informative and understandable explanation of what it is to be intersex :-)

Hans, keep up the great work. I appreciate this public service. Just a tip, if you could display some of the printed material/graphics a few seconds longer, it would help us to read it. The information is terrific.

I had the rare misfortune to have 2 intersex disorders. I was born with XXY chromosomes and Partial Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (PAIS). I was born as an underdeveloped male and assigned as male. I didn't find out until I was 21 and was denied entry into the Air Force because I wasn't strong enough. I was given testosterone supplements to complete the male puberty. It worked for a while and then it became apparent that it wasn't. The testosterone wasn't being absorbed and was being converted to estrogen. I went through puberty twice, once as male and once as an underdeveloped female. My second X chromosome is active. While I outwardly look male, internally I am more female. I feel like a mixture of both sexes. After much soul searching, I am comfortable being intersex. But I am still a human being first and demand to be treated as such. I don't mind being an it but is easier to identify male.

Very educational and easy to follow. Thank you.

Thanks for your educational and humorous videos, including teaching me how to pronounce the word "chimera". PS: I'm a twin and very happy I did not absorb my twin.

There's another one but it doesn't show up in genitals but the urinary tract system where they have double everything. Double uterus, double ureters on one or both kidneys, a bicameral uterus etc

Thank you very much for the video! You have no idea how much you helped me. You are doing something really meaningful!

Thank you! As an older binary guy I really appreciate the detailed information and consider myself a bit better educated now. 👍

What if you have fully functioning (as fas as I know) male gonads, but appear to have hormonal issues that has left one with underdeveloped feminine breasts and an androgynous voice and appearance, but with plenty of facial hair?

Do you ever get back to your comments. Thank you for your videos I'm am a hermaphrodite with no support what so ever. Been watching some of your videos. I like them and think you have a wonderful sense of humor God bless you.

No matter what these people developed into, they are just people with a difference...I am not sure where the person who presented this video lies nor how she or he identifies...no one really needs anyone's approval as they are happy and content.

Thank you for this education 🙌🏾✨️ I keep trying to tell people this, but you do it better.

As a intersex person myself my body failed to fully develop as a male during the germ cell phase of sexual development. As a result my right testis remained as a fetal gonad. As an adult this developed into stage three testicual=ovarian cancer. In other words a ovotestis but only on the right side of my body.. The left testis did develop as a testis but only grew to about half of normal size. In addition I also had at least four germ cell teratoma that ranged in size from 10 to 17.5 cm in size. The largest of which was removed at the Mayo Clinic during a six hour surgery. This particular teratoma had limbs, eyes, skin etc. Sort of fetal tissue. this was removed when I was forty five years old. Isn't being intersex fun. Oh one more thing my doctor also suggested I have a mild from of AIS androgen insensitivity syndrome. I really don't know for sure. I was raised male but deal with gender dysphoria, go figure. I have several surgeries done to me as a child of ten, but do not know exactly what was done during these surgeries.

Great video - I found it whilst doing research for one of my videos. Thoughtfully explained and presented in a friendly way. Thank you so much.

Such a clear explanation.

So informative, amazing, thank you for being so open and sharing.

Is it possible for an intersex person to have a body that is a complete fusion of a conventionally male and female body, to the point where they also have both male and female features and genitalia that are fully developed and functional? Is it the rarest form of intersex?

Thank you for such good info!

Intersex here. I have uterus and ovaries along with twig n berries. I took testosterone for years because my dad shamed me as abnormal. I had to recently stop taking Testosterone and am going back to "Me" ....should done this years ago.

Thanks Hans! Such helpful information. :)

Thanks for describing that midpoint!

Thank you for helping me learn about this. What a lengthy medical term!

Hans! These are great. The firehose... nice touch!

Thank You! This is the first video I have seen on intersex that was not made by a homophobic.

I'm intersex too, thank you for the information

Thanks for the education

According to this video, I can't follow directions, and that's so damn true 😂😂

Hold on, I need to know what the metal song was. That sounded like it slapped.

I Thank you. You are smart, informative and entertaining. Go ahead school the world they to hear you. I know people from different spectrums. U explain it Best

I like your explanation. I must be intersex. At 60 I believe you've covered it very well.

This information about chimaeras. When I was pregnant, another woman asked the midwife that she was pregnant with twins. But all of a sudden, one child is not there anymore. She wants to know where her child is gone. Where is it? The midwife said that this has been observed ever since ultrasound was invented. (since 1970s) But no one knows where the child disappears. Therefore, it is assumed that the uterine wall absorbs it. I don't know if this phenomenon is also chimeras. Because there is a heart and a head and if that is absorbed by the other fetus then these cells would have to transform into other regions. I just thought about that mother who wanted to know where it went.

Very well done

Everybody special now🤔 Well glad this video was more educational than most

My first bf had a hydrospadious penis, he had two working urethra tubes in his penis and two holes in the tip, one on top of the other. It was the first penis I ever saw so I didn't know that was abnormal until several years into our relationship. He thought everyone had two holes so urine could come out one and semen the other. I mean, it makes sense because girls have separate holes for reproduction and urination so it didn't seem weird to me until I saw a diagram of a male urethra and was very confused.

Thank you for this video! 💛💜💛

This popped up in my feed so I gave it a shot. I learned a lot.

Love your hair!! And the video too :D

They do actually cover it in 9th grade biology. They under the mutations section

Thank you for making this.

Hello Hans, thx a lot for your empowering videos!! Would like to know: do you consider so called 'female Hypospadie' as an inter* variation?

Excellent information for everyone

from what I understand, my chromosomes are xxxxy. I'm still learning more about myself

So, question/help. I am not obese. Under normal conditions I have an inny vs an outy....until I get excited. Then it becomes modest but normal. Notably I also have very small wrists. I was 13 the last time I met someone new and the first thing they asked me wasn't, are you a boy or a girl. In your opinion, am I intersex of some sort.

5:09 that's a pickup line for the ages

I have ovotestes!

Very informative, TY

Do mostly intersex people have prostate gland as well ? Like men ? But i know there is no identity of intersex so i gave u example of 'men'

thank you!!

Very nicely done.

I have long suspected these incidents are caused by chemicals in our food, in the air, maybe even the plastics in our clothing, furniture, autos, etc. Maybe even the stuff in our cook ware? Teflon has been called into suspicion. If any of that interferes with the development of the fetus by causing an imbalance of hormones, it is possible to have developmental inaccuracies.

Ok. Now i know why im developing breasts and female hips.

*great video* , GOOD way to put "things" ... this video was The MOST complete rapid (Non hysterical) summary, I've ever seen. You actually increased MY vocabulary a Lot, & almost nobody does that. just found the channel ...... _"Doctors?"_ ... yeah, a Lotta doctors are too dogmatic (or, just DUMB)

the worst part of realizing im probably not normal is the fact that I was lied to my whole life 3:47 - 4:10 - 5:06

For me I'm neither a or b I started out xx and xy but I'm mostly xx and have everything in path a except the xy in my genome

So I was born xxy I grew brest at 9 and have male features. And now I'm a transwoman am I intersexed

My internal medicine doctor told me that each intersex person is hybrid so that each is unique there are no two alike. There’s no book a doctor can refer to because each intersex person is their own medical book. So they depend on the intersex person to tell them what they need. My doctor an internal medicine doctor because I’m an intersex man.

I lost it at “XL Clit”

so informative and funny! i loves it!

Well I know what intersex is I just wanted to watch it anyway

I feel bad for you for having this. I hope you are happy and make a lot of friends and not be labeled a misfit. I wish you well.

on which chromosome is the gene 'pink hair' located ?

I just found you, but you seem really cool :))

Is hypogonadism intersex?

Can you explain why a dog kernel is being used to teach sexual and gender ethics and why it maybe derogatory and abusive

I've never met any one like me before I think it would be great to get to know athers like me I thort I was sloan in this

🤔🤨💭 I still remember meeting Judy, I liked it ☺🤗😄 Yup❕ G-G.

what pronouns do intersex individuals prefer to go by? for example, what might be yours?

Love your dry wit!

Human flamingo?

I’m so lost

so interesting and helpful 😁

Everything is a spectrum !!!

one ovary and one testis here the reason i changed clothes for p.e. once and they laughed at my female shaped body and i never did it again hence failing every single p.e. class ever

I died at “that’s a dick problem”

Yup that's me the last one the chimera

Is there a non comical, informative, factual video on this, online?

So how does it look u want to see

Isn't ones birth sex more prominent

I have no idea what I just watched. Obviously not something taught in public school.

my god you are so beautiful.. I wish to have someone like you for love and relationship

❤️

Everyone wants the angel#Crim😏

What are we so consumed with labels? Just be you.
