'''Familial |
'''Familial Male-Limited Precocious Puberty (FMPP)''', '''Familial Sexual Precocity''', or '''Gonadotropin-Independent Testotoxicosis''' is an [[intersex]] variation that effects [[AMAB]] and/or [[CTM]] individuals. It is unknown how common it is, however it is rare.<ref>https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/familial-male-limited-precocious-puberty/#frequency</ref> |

Those with this variation hit an early puberty, beginning sexual development at the ages of 2-5. This may cause a lot of confusion within the child, as their mind is not yet developed to understand these changes within their body. |
||
The changes include body hair, acne, a deepening voice, spontaneous erections, penile growth, sexual desire/interest at an early age (unless they are [[Asexual Spectrum|ace-spec]],) and increased height. Those with this variation tend to stop growing at a very early age, due to their early puberty, and tend to be shorter than the rest of their family. |

Those with this variation tend to stop growing at a very early age, due to their early puberty, and tend to be shorter than the rest of their family. Those with this variation also have [[Hyperandrogenism|CTM hyperandrogenism]], which is one of the reasons for their early puberty.<ref>https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/familial-male-limited-precocious-puberty/</ref> |

Because of this gene mutation, hormonal activity tends to begin early and at an increased rate, causing the individual to grow [[masculine]] traits at an early age. |
