[[File:Ppsh.jpg|thumb|The PPSH flag.]]
'''PPSH (Pseudovaginal Perineoscrotal Hypospadias)''' or '''5α-Reductase 2 deficiency''' ('''5αR2D''') is an [[intersex]] conditionvariation in which a [[CTM]] individual has male chromosomes (XY) however their body does not not produce enough of a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT) which causes more [[feminine]] developments within the body.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5%CE%B1-Reductase_2_deficiency</ref>
Because of this conditionvariation, the individuals likely will have a vagina, [[Ambiguous Genitalia|ambiguous genitals]], [[Agenital|a smaller than average penis, or a partially formed penis]]. Due to this, they are often [[AFAB|assigned female at birth,]] despite their male[[wolffian]] chromosomes. If they have a penis, they often have a urethra opening that is on a unusual spot of the genitals ([[hypospadias]].) They may also have [[AMAB Hypogonadism|AMAB hypogonadism]] and/or be classified under [[Aromatase Excess Syndrome|aromatase excess syndrome]] as well.
Individuals with this conditionvariation often have a deepened voice, increased muscle mass, and very little body hair during puberty, making their puberty (in most cases) usually quite [[androgynous]] in nature.<ref>https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/5-alpha-reductase-deficiency/</ref>
This is a rare conditionvariation and the exact rarity is unknown. Those with this conditionvariation often are fertile and can produce sperm and parent children, so long as they have horomonehormone or medical assistance ([[Hormone Replacement Therapy|HRT]].)
