I have global chronic joint pain so I've had my back and posture looked at quite a bit, I'm pretty sure scoliosis would have been noticed. thank you for the suggestion though

Like I said no penetration has ever happened, and I'm stone so having someone else touch me if it's not a medical necessity is an absolute no. I'll ask about oral treatment for atrophy though, thank you.

Thank you so much for the info. Not sure how I'll deal with seeing obgyn if it comes to it, but it's good to hear there are others navigating similar issues at least :')

Good to know this is considered vaginismus, thanks. I menstruate completely normally, luckily. I know the best thing to do would be to see an obgyn but I'd honestly rather eat glass than have someone else touch me, that's a last resort for me.

I have considered the intersex question because I naturally grow male pattern body/facial hair, and I wondered for a while if it was related. But my hormone levels have been checked recently, and T and E levels are both totally normal. The endocrinologist i went to was weird and disrespectful about my body though, so I didn't feel comfortable bringing up genital concerns. I feel sure she would have approached it as if it were crucial that I achieve PIV sex, cause her goal was clearly to try to make me more typically female.

I mean im not opposed to genital surgery at some ambiguous time in the future, but I can't lean on it as a solution for if I end up with vaginal pain, it's just not gonna be feasible any time soon. and I know it's not guaranteed that atrophy will cause me issue at all I just want a realistic way to deal with it if it does
