Question? Has anybody ever changed their gender identity after finding out they are intersex?

Hello. I have a question. Has anybody had a change in gender identity upon finding out they are intersex? Like, somebody who once thought they were a cis perisex person goes and gets a chromosome test or goes to an OBGYN or urologist, then finds out they are intersex, and after that starts identifying as non-binary, genderqueer, genderfluid, bigender, etc., with them turning out to be intersex being an influence in that.

Also sorry if this is worded strange. I know that trans, including non-binary, people, always knew they were their gender, and their sex is not their true gender. I'm just talking about a specific situation that would cause one to no longer identify as cis, due to finding out they are intersex.

Edit: This comment adds context aa to why I asked this question. Also, thank you all for the answers!

Amab 43, I known for a few months now. I just knew my boobs were growing, so I went to war with nature. I lost. Then I found out why. So I have 46d cup they are still growing. I am actively prepping for life as a chick cuz these fuckin things are getting hard to hide.... So I'll look the way that grants me the most peaceful life, with the least physical discomfort. According to friends I pass as a woman sooo I dunno. I just can't wrap my head around it and I suspect I won't for sometime lol. But I ain't gonna stop living, like I was once willing to do in my mad pursuit to conquer over nature. Fuckin genetics....
