Penoscrotal Transposition is a trait that - in some cases -may be considered an intersex trait. This trait effects AMAB/CTM individuals, in which ones scrotum (the skin that covers the testicles) is in the front or at the sides of the penis instead of being behind it.
Those with this condition typically are also partnered with hypospadias, cryptorchidism (in this case, the skin covering the penis would be full of empty tissue,) anal issues, mental disabilities, growth defiencies, and issues within the nervous system.
Fertility depends on how ones body formed, whether or not they have formed or complete testicles, and whether or not the penis needed surgical change. The causes of this condition vary, however it is usually due to a chromosomal or horomonal disturbance within ones genetic build.
This trait isnt inheritely intersex in of itself, however it often is found partnered with intersex conditions.
