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.
