I think I was treated when really young. I never had hormone treatment, as far as my parents go, I don't know if they were aware of any of that. It's often done without the parents knowledge. I was treated as a cis male growing up and still had enough testosterone to have some facial hair (but not much) and other things of that nature, but I also developed breasts and wider hips than a typical cis male.
Linky if you dig about you should be able to find some more information, including some on the planned parenthood site, I thought I had some more links but can't find them.
CW some abuse talk

I suffered abuse for behaving different to my assigned gender.. they had no idea I was trans but because I wasn't acting like a boy I was smacked or beat or worse.. that's as plainly as I can put it.
I will continue to apologize until I stop doing things I need to apologize for one day

That is... bizarre to me. Like... how. On every level that is just very odd to me. I don't understand how doctors would actually be able to do the surgery, how your parents would never have known. And that's common... poor intersex kids/people oh my god. I can't imagine trying to navigate that, especially as a child.
And then obviously how could parents be so cruel, and how could you have to be treated/suffer that way.
Thank you for answering my questions. I will try to learn more about intersex people. I am glad you are in a better situation now.
Because many don't know much about intersex people in general so don't worry I don't mind answering some questions
I edited my last post to provide a link to a basic rundown, I had found a good blog a few years ago but lost it in moving to a new laptop but if I do find it at some stage I'll send you the link
You don't have to apologise to me
