'''Vaginal Aplasia''' or '''Vaginal Agenesis''' is when someone with a [[müllerian]]-like body has little to no genitalia. It is estimated to occur amongst 1 in every 4,000 [[AFAB]] or otherwise [[CTF]] individuals, and many with this variation seek out surgical change later in life (if they weren't altered as an infant.)<ref>{{Archive|URL=20220127100218/https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/vagina-aplasia|Site=web}}</ref>

'''Vaginal Hypoplasia''' is a term for when someone with a müllerian-like body has an underdeveloped vagina. It typically causes little issue, as sexual activity with the vagina is still possible, even if its undersized or underdeveloped.

'''Imperforate & Microperforate Hymen''' are conditions in which a person is born with a hymen that is completely covering their vaginal opening, or completely covering their vaginal opening except for a hole typically no bigger than the urethra. In many cases, surgery to remove the hymen is necessary for the patient to have normal menstrual periods or sex. <ref>{{Archive|URL=https://youngwomenshealth.org/2013/07/10/hymens/}}</ref>

'''Penile Agenesis''' or '''Penile Aplasia''' is a term for when someone with a [[wolffian]]-like body has no genitalia. This is estimated to occur in between 20 and 30 million [[AMAB]] or otherwise [[CTM]] births. One with this variation almost always needs to have surgical intervention, as they usually have no urinary outlet.<ref>{{Archive|Site=web|URL=20220120174749/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penile_agenesis_and_testicular_agenesis}}</ref>

'''Penile Hypoplasia''' is a term for when someone with a wolffian-like body has an underdeveloped penis. It typically causes little issue, as sexual activity with the penis is still possible, even if its undersized or underdeveloped.

'''Micropenis''' is a term for when one with a wolffian-like body who has an unusually small penis, usually due to another intersex trait, however this is not always the case. This effects about 0.6% AMAB or otherwise CTM individuals. This may be considered a subset of [[Ambiguous Genitalia|ambiguous genitalia]] in some cases, and may overlap with [[clitoromegaly]]. It typically causes little issue, as sexual activity with the penis is still possible, even if its smaller than expected.<ref>{{Archive|Site=web|URL=20220124202904/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micropenis}}</ref>

'''Cryptorchidism''' is a term for when one with a wolffian-like body is missing one or more testicle, or when one or more of the testicles have formed fully within the body rather than outside. There is currently no findable estimate of this occurrence in AMAB or otherwise CTM births. One with this variation likely also has [[hypospadias]].<ref>{{Archive|Site=web|URL=20220201040227/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptorchidism}}</ref>

'''Monorchidism''' or '''Monorchism''' is a term for when one with a wolffian-like body has a single testicle. They are typically fertile, as their single testicle is usually functioning.<ref>{{Archive|Site=web|URL=20220120174751/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monorchism}}</ref>

'''Microorchidism''' is a term for when one with a wolffian-like body has unusually small testicles. One with this variation typically has a lack of masculine hormones released due to the decreased size and functionality, which often leads one to have more feminized traits.<ref>{{Archive|Site=web|URL=20220127043640/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microorchidism}}</ref>
