I could probably talk my Doctor into doing it but I know, the odds of me having Klinefelter's are low. So do I want it bad enough to do something or is it just wishful thinking? I think the later. I know what you said (below) is true but I'm just "dreaming" a little. Maybe my OP is a little confusing because it combines something factual with something emotional.

Anyways... The chances are that you're JUST GD, but it's possible you're both GD and intersex. You'll never be JUST intersex, since as flamesabers pointed out, there are many intersex who do just fine in the gender role they're assigned at birth.

Doodlebug, I think even if you are both GD and intersex, there are still some issues to resolve. For example, would your perspective be that you have GD because you're intersex? Or would you consider the two independent of each other?

I get the impression that being intersex would be a convenient explanation for why you have GD. In other words, intersex would be the culprit for your GD, and not your gender identity. The people around you and perhaps society at large may be more accepting of your GD and may even pity you if that was the case. After all, society or whoever may see you as a man who identifies and likes being a man, but has GD only because he was born intersex.

I think the larger question is how do you feel about yourself. Do you wish you could make your GD disappear just like that and enjoy being and living as a male? Or do you accept and maybe even cherish your female identity as an important part of who you are, despite the unhappiness this conflict creates for you?

I don't intend to trivialize or change the subject but imagine a crossdresser who's looking for a woman that not only accepts him for who he is, but actively encourages crossdressing. If he ever gets caught by someone, rather than admitting that he likes to crossdress, he could say something like 'he crossdresses because it really turns on his wife.' Using such excuses is convenient for him because he gets to enjoy crossdressing without anyone actually knowing how he really feels. If it wasn't for his wife, people would think he would be like the average typical male who has zero interest in crossdressing.
