I agree about everything except the claim that Kallman syndrome isn't an intersex condition. The intersex umbrella includes hormonal conditions like hypogonadism. For context, biological sex is several physical traits that fall into bimodal distributions. One mode we refer to as male, and the other as female. Intersex describes anyone who is medically between the ranges of both modes of any sexed trait or who falls into different modes for different traits. Micropenis at birth is one of the classic reasons for "correction". It's a wide umbrella even if most people think of it exclusively as abnormal sex chromosome configuration or structural ambiguity (historically called hermaphrodism)
My issue isn't with people calling Hitler out on this, no more than I had a problem with people mocking his believed Jewish ancestry. I am uncomfortable with people elsewhere in the thread acting like micropenis or hypogonadism causes one to be evil or predisposes one to fascism.
Also we need to change the description of the ideal nazi to: tall like goebbels, thin like goering, and masculine like Hitler.
Excellent points, and yes I was mistakenly assuming you were just referring to sex chromosomes. Thank you for explaining that and teaching me something new.
