I was assigned male at birth but have increasingly started to notice over the years that other guys don’t have a big notch on either side of their torsos like I do. It’s my pelvic bone. I would go to a doctor to see what they had to say but they’ve seen me plenty of times and said absolutely nothing about being intersex and now I live in a rural conservative area and they don’t seem to diagnose the same way in hardly anything that is a conservative third rail. I just seem to have a really wide pelvis just like a female. Everything else seems male. I am a very normal weight so it’s not fat tissue - its clearly bone. I just feel gaslit over it and have been trying to gauge perceptions people have of me in my life in order to get on with things. I hate to turn to the internet but this is driving me crazy. I need something to work with, somewhere to start.
Get an X-ray and compare.
It seems pretty obvious just from the outside. It sticks out like one or two inches or so on either side right at the pelvic bone. Males I’ve seen always just have a straight line from armpit to waist.

I’m a man. No we don’t. And it’s silly to think we do.
I’m afraid to ask what sort of pseudo science macho nonsense you’ve been exposed to which could have gotten you to this point…
Some men have wide hips. Some women have skinny hips. People are extremely variable and that’s a great thing.
If you really care you can get genetic tested. But if it isn’t impacting your life, you may want to ask why bother.
Is it likely? No. Is it possible? Yes.
It’s worth getting checked out at some point though, because some intersex conditions can impact fertility
1 or 2 in 1000 people are xxy

But even if you’re XY, hormones aren’t binary, you might just have a lot of estrogen, or it could be something that isn’t related at all to gender or hormones.
There’s a shit ton of human variation
I am pretty skinny, my pelvis protrudes in the way you describe but I wouldn’t considered this a sign of intersex
