Well most people have never gotten a karotyping test done and don't know their chromosomes for example. You assume you're XX/XY but you really have no idea. You could be an XX male (assuming you're cis) XXX, XXY etc. and simply not know. Some of your cells could be XX and others could be XY, at the same time! This would define you as intersex. A woman might have internal testicles and never know until she gets an ultrasound, a man could have ovaries and simply not know. You might not find out until puberty, or until you find out you're infertile, until you die and theres an autopsy or you and no one may literally ever know. It's important to mention that intersex is a huge umbrella that includes a ton of different stuff and it can be a bit debated. Some men have all the internal sexual characteristics of a woman, but the external characteristics of a man and some people wouldn't consider that intersex.
I’m sorry to ask what feels like a stupid ass and insensitive question while you’re making a great point, but I don’t know where else I’d get the answer and you seem knowledgeable. If you’re a man with internal ovaries, where do the eggs go? Do they not experience a releasing of the eggs once a month through menstruation too? Damn my public school sex ed was weak
Well to be graphic one of my friends experiences menstruation and was born with a penis and it can come out of the penis or the anus. I'm not really sure on the details of how.
