Usually I don't celebrate pride in any way, but I saw a post lamenting the lack of good intersex representation in pride posts, and it made me go "oh hey, I write this guy as being intersex, maybe I should actually post about it?"
Note: I do not have NCAH, and as a result this is based on what i could find and understand online. I welcome corrections if I misunderstood anything about this condition
Tord has Nonclassic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (NCAH). It is a condition that leads to decreased cortisol and increased androgen production.
Tord presented with several symptoms, but wasn't diagnosed until his mid 30s during research he was conducting relating to fertility
He started puberty several years earlier than his classmates (precocious puberty), which played a small part in his eventual interest in hentai
His adult height is quite short: 162cm (5'4")
He started developing breast tissue in his early teens—an experience shared by over 50% of boys—and was assured that it would likely go away within a year or so. It did not, and Tord underwent a mastectomy a few months before he turned 17 (he is shown recently post-operation in the picture above)
Although he was relieved to get surgery at the time, Tord eventually grew to wish that he'd opted out of the procedure. Something about being a man with breasts feels... right? (He's too busy taking over the world to think about that, though!)
One's gender does not play much of a part in Tord's sexual attraction.
If you were to ask Tord what his sexual orientation was, he'd think about it for about 15 minutes, then come back—smirking—and inform you that he is "moron-sexual". (He does not know that Morosexual exists as a micro label. He thinks he's smart for coming up with it.)
He's more attracted to people who make him look good in some way
He often has the urge to hurt the things he's attracted to—think of a boy pulling a girl's hair because he thinks she's cute.
Tord doesn't feel romantic attraction towards somebody unless he is aware of feelings that person already harbors towards him
If he was the type of person to think about romantic orientation, Tord would've identified as "some kind of aromantic" up until he was ~17, when he overheard Tom confessing feelings for him while drunk
Tord understood romance only as a (slightly annoying) means to obtain sex until this time. Realizing that he not only might enjoy a date, but also was excited by the idea of one, was rather overwhelming for him
Tord has only ever experienced strong romantic attraction towards Tom, since Tom is the only person who's admitted to being interested in him in that way
He'd likely develop an attraction towards Edd if Edd held any feelings for him (he does not—promiseMe!Edd is aromantic)
