Dunno legally, but all XXY ppl are medically not Intersex we're defined as male even if I dont agree with it, so no special dispensation or protections.
My issue with having to rely on medical exceptions is didnt they just deny a life saving operation to a woman who applied on a medical exception, because it was an abortion, and the Texas Sc ruled shew should have let the pregnancy kill her rather than be allowed the exception, so if the cause is political enough theyll even deny those.

disclaimer: IANAL, but was born with ovotesticular disorder and fight insurance regularly for care re:intersex conditons
there aren't exceptions made for intersex people in the states, as no third biological sex is currently recognized in the united states. if you're concerned about insurance cutting you off from medication, i would have a chat with your provider about how your medication is being billed (cpt codes etc). if you're taking it due to not producing enough hormones, for example, not having it would screw up your bones, so they could try that angle. in general i've had to fight a lot with billing, and i normally don't have my providers bill services related to intersex care as gender affirming care as i'm not transgender and my condition in openly visible. but ymmv based on the condition in question.
