just a heads up, this isn't the case. intersex people do not have laws to protect them in the united states. if you have certain intersex conditions you can even currently be denied basic care like bloodwork and medication by insurance on account of your sex.
i can say this because i have fought all my life trying to get basic civil rights here due to being born with mixed genitalia. i have not succeeded. i have lost so many claims and legal entities have essentially told me time and time again there is no current ruling to protect people that are not born male or female when i filled with the civil rights department. unlike some other countries, a third biological sex is not recognized in the united states. my condition is instead considered a disease that i have chosen not to "resolve" through surgery.
the real answer to "will they let you use hormones" when you are intersex here is more or less always "does it move you in the direction *they* think is right for you", as we don't have true bodily autonomy in the states. it's based on what they believe will "fix" you to be male or female, their choice. as such, it's often easier for people with prominent intersex conditions to get access to hormones or surgery here (in comparison to someone that's MtF or FtM), but it's hard to have much choice in what type.
There's nothing here!
