you do know why the presence of a Y chromosome is typically correlated with higher testosterone levels, right?
there is a protein called SRY whose presence causes the gonads develop as testes (which produce tetosterone).
In individuals with Swyer’s syndrome, however, the SRY protein is absent, and so the gonads develop as nonfunctioning ovaries.
Ergo, the claim that a person with Swyer’s syndrome “experience[s] heightened testosterone” is false, because people with swyer’s syndrome have ovaries, not testicles. In fact they are typically prescribed similar hormone therapy to trans women, because left untreated they would have hormone levels comparable to prepubescent children, not “elevated levels of testosterone”.
Please at least take the two seconds to google what you’re even talking about before using it as a fig leaf for your own misogyny and transphobia, thanks.
