Since you mentioned in the tags you can't decide if you consider yourself cis or trans, in case you didn't know there are some intersex-specific gender modalities: - ipsogender: for intersex people who agree with assigned gender - ultergender: for intersex people who transition genders
There's also intersex-specific genders like intergender (gender influenced by being intersex).
I struggled for many years on trying to figure out why neither cis nor trans fit me and finally figured it out when I learnt this terminology! Hope it's helpful. 😄
I recently realized how messed up it was that each time I was hospitalized as a teen (in a children’s hospital, not a regular one) I had doctors try and get me to agree for them to laser off my chest and facial hair or to have them shave down my Adams apple despite those having nothing to do with why I was there. It’s like, I didn’t know I was considered intersex until I was an adult but I had medical professionals trying to coerce me into cosmetic surgeries to “normalize” my gender since I hit puberty.
