Highlighting that this is “considered quite rare” but in actuality we have absolutely no idea how common this, or indeed a great many variants in sexual development, are. Because if it’s not visible from the outside then we only learn about it if doctors (or coroners) go looking, and doctors only go looking if it’s causing a problem.
Also for clarity’s sake, and because not everyone knows the word, this is called an intersex variation — when the anatomy or genetics of a person do not match perisex expectations
(ie XX ovaries uterus vagina breasts clitoris urethra above vagina, XY penis testicles no breasts urethra in penis)
These men probably faced significant issues in their communities if/when they found out they had a uterus and ovary/ies like ostracisation, harassment, and/or abuse. They are facing immense discrimination, judgement, and intersexism online just about anywhere this is posted.
Yes this is an example of why transphobic (and intersexist) attempts to define ‘female’ and ‘male’ are inaccurate, but these are real people facing real difficulties.
