Pride Month?

And that's how I found out I'm Intersex.
(And what a spectacularly FUGLY flag for Intersex!)

Haha, I don't think the intersex flag is THAT bad! But to each their own.
A few years back, I went to see a new doctor, PCP but specialized in LGBTQ+, and he looked at me and was like, "So, have you ever wondered if you're intersex?" Then he did some blood tests and blah blah blah, told me I have some hormone thing which can technically be considered an intersex condition. I considered identifying with it for a while, but never really did, and now I think it might have been the wrong diagnosis anyway.

But I know that I’ve never been “one of the guys” (except, perhaps on a certain gross (in all senses of the word) anatomical level), and more than just on the surface level. I’m more comfortable, at least at a deep and connected level around women, but I’m not one of them, either.

In retrospect, mine's a similar case to the 'now having the word(s)'. But learning the word is what sparked the 6 month long self-reflection and reexamining something I thought I'd already sorted out[1].
[1] I pride myself in knowing myself, and I strongly encourage others to learn themselves and self-examine their psyche.
EDIT: And I chronically overthink.

Heh, I think that too much time in the goth subculture delayed things for me, particularly knowing cis and largely het dudes who wore makeup and skirts or dresses on a regular basis. I assumed that I was one of them, albeit somewhat more on the heteroromantic asexual spectrum for the longest time, and still wasn’t entirely comfortable.

Ye gads, yes. But it’s still a flag, and IIRC, that means having a country.
Pilchard123:
Isn't the relationship country => flag, not flag => country? "if P then Q" does not mean "if not P then not Q" or "if Q then P", though "if not P then not Q" is equivalent to "if Q then P". Making P "has a flag" and Q "has a country", then "no flag, no country" leads to "country implies flag" but allows for "flag, but no country".

Sadly true. But it least it’s a starting point.
