Apparently whoever qualifies as intersex can, like anyone else, achieve trans status by simply declaring a gender ID that doesn't align with sex "assigned" at birth. So whether actually socially constructed M or F we could both ID as NB & *poof* we're reconstructed as trans.

Yep, according to the spectrum, you'd really be cis-NB But anyone can ID how they want, and be strategic about it. IDK why I didn't think of the NB gender hack before...

Instead of coming to grips with my sex & bisexuality, & being myself in spite of gender expectations thrown at me, I could have declared my gender ID = my sex & that I'm only attracted to NBs. That would have made me stealth cis hetero, by definition!

You don't think being trans is about being yourself in spite of gender expectations?

Our Physical bodies are real, but the way we categorise them is socially constructed. Like how the levels of melinin people's skin has is real but categories of race are socially constructed too.

And as for your other question, what we define as illness (as opposed to, say, natural variation) is a social construct. The idea of what is "normal" and "healthy" is a social construct.

Though that's not something you'd say to a dying cancer patient while they were vomiting up their own shit, right?
