No, it's not.
It's genuinely not. I am truly concerned with the growing number of people on tumblr who feel that physically diverging from an extremely narrow, colonial, oppressive and genuinely unrealistic notion of "what the sexes allegedly look like" makes you intersex. No. Like, 80% of Middle Eastern women have a lot of body hair and face hair they need to wax (or sugar) all the time, yes, with beards sometimes. No, impotent men or infertile women are not something else than dyadic men and women unless they actually are. No, there's cis men with "buried penis" who are 100% dyadic perisex cis men. Yes, men and women are sometimes almost indistinguishable by a glance without makeup, grooming, brow shaping, different clothes, different hair, etc: our natural dimorphism isn't particularly strong as a species.
You are reinforcing the idea that the "natural state" of the two dyadic sexes is this extreme Disney-animal dimorphism that is actually a social construst and not the biological physical reality.
You are reinforcing these extremely narrow and straight up statistically incorrect boxes by, rather than questioning them, calling what lies outside them "Other".
Intersex people are people born with intersex variations.
Like me. And our experiences are not just limited to the pressure to fit in narrow boxes we don't really fit in (hello, feminism 101 - that's everyone, that's how gender works), it's a lot more specific, often a lot more violent, with specific medical axes of abuse, with specific forms of discrimination, etc.
