-'''CTF''' or '''Close To Female''' is a term for [[intersex]] individuals who can be closely described as a female, or described as 'almost female' but aren't actually female. This usually implies one has XX chromosomes, a vagina or something similar to a vagina, and other [[feminine]] traits while not being entirely female.
+'''CTF''' or '''Close To Female''' is a term for [[intersex]] individuals who can be closely described as [[müllerian]], or described as 'almost müllerian' but aren't actually müllerian. This term is important, as the term "[[AFAB]]" implies that they are assigned female at birth and [[PWHV]] implies they have a vagina, which is not always the case.
+Many CTF individuals have XX chromosomes, however they do not have to. Instead, they may have other feminine traits such as a vagina, ovaries, a uterus, a feminine body, etc. All that matters is that they can easily be classified as 'almost female.'

 They may have [[Ambiguous Genitalia|ambiguous genitals]], be on the [[Agenital|agenital spectrum]], or have a penis which means they may be [[AMAB|assigned male at birth]] instead. Because of this, calling them AFAB may be incorrect to properly describe their experiences.
