Hi Sal and welcome. You can feel comfortable here too. Though maybe make your next thread in the introductions forum, so many more can greet you. We want to know all about you, not just the body parts. We do have much to share too. Don't worry you will fit right in. Also if you haven't, check out the terms and conditions link. It's the little button on the bottom right hand corner of the page. No worries, as we ask this of everyone at the start, to keep us all on the same page. Oh, a bit about me?

I am intersexed too, though they decided to correct me way back when as I was born. They chose male for me. Way wrong answer! I am correcting me to female ever since. I came to terms with all this about five years ago and I changed my gender presentation about three years ago, I have no real idea what my original bottom configuration was, so that will always be a mystery for me. All I have left to do, is to learn to be a grown woman and live my life as I truly am. There are others here like us, with each our own journey and story. So you are not alone. Hug. JodyAnn

I am not inter-sexed myself, but I just wanted to say you are by no means a 'freak' really that word should be stricken from our vocabulary. We are all strange and weird in our own way, and honestly as soon as you label an individual as 'normal' that means everyone else around them is weird, so I prefer to just think of it as everyone is weird, we all have our own challenges. And I hope you feel comfortable here to be able to have a place to talk to others like you, trans, inter-sexed and androgynous.

Sal, please don't be afraid to talk to your medical provider. That's why they are there, to help you! You are not a freak. You have a condition and that condition should get properly diagnosed. Once it is diagnosed, you can decide what to do from there.

But you need to start by trusting your doctor and allowing them to examine you and make that diagnosis.

I don't know how things work in England, but once you are properly diagnosed I would expect them to work with you to resolve things however you choose to resolve them.For intersexed people usually there is solid medical support to help that person choose to live as they see themselves.

Sal, I am so sorry that you were bullied through childhood. No one should have to suffer through that. Do you have access to a Therapist? If so, they may be able to help you through some of the emotional pain.

I share what LizMarie said about talking to your medical provider. Let them know you are reluctant to talk about it, but they should be able to help, or at least refer you to someone who can help.

Huggs,

Opal

Hi Sal,

I 'm glad that you have been able to talk with your GP about your intersex condition. It doesn't have to be an embarrassment. I did not understand the reasons for the bullying when was in school or afterwards for that matter. And it still bothers me that other people aren't willing to believe that intersex is real.

I have found that often religious zealots are the hardest to convince that someone can be intersexed. They can accept and feel sympathy for any other birth condition, but intersex they just refuse acknowledge it. You can't try to convince them even with medical evidence, they are so blinded by their own ignorance, for lack of a better phrase. I've had futile communications that only served to irritate me and solved nothing to change their opinions.

I can totally relate to everything you are saying Sal. I hope you can move forward with your life in a manner more fitting to who you know you really are.

      I grew up with it, my mother's side were Germans.  I still like cabbage.  I make a sweet/sour dish with vinegar and brown sugar, add some bacon if you have it.  And in warmer weather, slaw.  I like that better if it's a few days old, and has worked off a little.

      Pity that we can't just respect each other and get along.

      Good Friday Morning    I will be spending a good portion of my day at church today.  I don’t know how any of my family would have been with me.  They all passed before I figured myself out.  I often think my mother and sister may have figured it out before I did but maybe it was just my depression that they saw.  I don’t know and never will.  My grandfather Young unconditionally loved me but he passed when I was 9.   Same with my wife’s parents, both gone before.  We’ve never had the greatest relationship with my wife’s brother but we do see them occasionally.  They words and actions aren’t always in sink when it comes to me.   Sour kraut or boil cabbage were never big even with my parents so that was something we were never expected to eat.  Nor was anything with mustard.  My mother hated mustard and it turns my stomach. My wife tried to sneak it into things early in our marriage but I could always tell.  She stopped after a while.   well I wave to go get ready to go to church.  I have a committee meeting at 10 and then we have a Good Friday Service at noon.   Willow

      Good morning everyone,   @KymmieLI hope you're misreading your bosses communications. As you say keep plugging a long. Don't give them signs that you're slow quitting, just to collect unemployment.   I have a few things to do business wise, and will be driving to the St. Louis, MO area for two family gatherings.   Have a great day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone, TGIFF   It seems like I am the one keeping or shop from being the best. According to the boss. I don't know if my days are numbered or not. But anymore I am waiting for the axe to fall. Time will tell.   I keep plugging a long.   Kymmie

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      Having just a normal emotional day.

      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.
