Before I begin let me make two things clear:
1) pls no bully
2) I am sincere
Ok, so I have a good friend who recently came out as transgender and when I asked him to give me a sense of how he has felt his whole life up until this point given that he has been using the gender appropriate restroom and has been participating in gender appropriate athletic games, he dropped a bomb on me. "We have known each other for over 20 years right anon?" He asked. I replied, "Yes friend." He followed with "Please forgive me for what I am about to do"
He dropped his pants and he didn't even have a penis. I was stunned and confused, he told me he was born with a vagina but went through male puberty.
NOW
How common is this? Is this considered "ammo" in the LGBT community that can be used against the "LGBT = mental disorder" argument?
Thanks anons.

Is he intersex? He could be SWYER syndrome or AIS/CAIS etc who never got any hormone treatment.
It's not that common, but can happen if they choose to not grow up female.
If I hadn't gotten hrt as a teen I might look like your friend.

how old are you both/when did you meet? that's pretty interesting.
i don't know what exactly you mean by "how common is this," but a lot of trans people, believe it or not, don't advertise the fact that they're trans after they start passing. 20 years is a really damn long time, though, especially because hormone therapy wasn't really widely available or known about until maybe a decade ago. also, most trans people in my experience tell their friends eventually after they become close, but it's up to the individual. and then again, my social circle is pretty young and liberal.
>Is this considered "ammo" in the LGBT community that can be used against the "LGBT = mental disorder" argument?
well...considering most LGBT people are, believe it or not, normal sane people who just want to live a normal life, i guess so. i hope this doesn't drastically change anything in your friendship with him.

Wouldn't a person with this syndrome normally go on estrogen though?

Just point and laugh.

Does "came out as trans" mean that they came out that they were going to transition MTF, or that they were FTM?

neither swyer nor cais work like that, but there's probably some sort of 'untreated' intersex syndrome going on there (assuming OP means mtf, the wording is kind of...confusing)
