Blood tests can only test so much. Many times the answers lie in the chromasomes and genetic variations-and that testing is unfortunately very expensive. What does your Dr say and recommend?

If you have mixed development there is an amazing variety of ways it can be expressed. I always knew I had something going on-to the extent that before I discovered the truths my daughter suggested for years maybe I was a chimera with mixed male and female DNA. She was right about the male and female but wrong about the reason. I am a DES baby and I found scars eventually that indicate I was born dual sexed and had surgery as an infant. That actually was harder for me to accept for awhile than being trans. There is no one left to ask though my Dr agreed that was likely the case when I discussed the scars. In time I have come to see that it is really not important to me anymore. What matters is that I know what gender I am and have addressed that whatever the cause. But that is me and each of us has to work through these questions and feelings in our own way.

Whatever you decide I would recommend talking to your Dr more. Maybe even asking about genetic testing.

i know im a woman but my body dosent know, its a mix of both thank you for your reply it help alot ill get it done when i see them as my doctors has said thats my next step

I agree with Johnny,

In the end as long as you know in your spirit who you are the parts don't matter as much. While the dysphoria is there, at least you know in your heart what is right and can start taking steps needed to correct the condition as needed if that is what you desire. :: hugs :: hope it all goes well.

Honestly... if you have a specific gender in mind, it helps not to have non-standard parts. The surgeries are more complicated sometimes.

I hope as a group we can convince you that you are not a freak. Others on here have felt that way, but were able to gain better insight into themselves. As others have pointed out, breast growth can occur for other reasons. It was a surprise for me when my tests came back with a 'T' level that was in the 'normal male' range for my age group. It did not change how I felt about myself, nor the experiences I had.

Huggs,

Kaine, While on the persuit of finding out your chromsomal and genetic make up, which sex do you prefer being; Male or female?

Just being yourself is actually the most important thing. If you prefer and have been presenting as a male than there is no reason to change unless you feel you nust chane. And if, you have been presenting as a female then there is no reason to change up. You will alwys be you, no matter what the body parts and or chromosomes.

My brother Johnny, has some good thoughts on the subject, And from the time Johnny ventured from his death bed and into the world, he has made miraculous progress in taking on the outer trapings of a man. But, inwardly he has always been a man, so he just needed the outside to match the inside.

I would say that if you really need to talk to someone in depth- Johnny would be your best bet. He's come a million miles in a short period of time.

Thou Shalt Not SHOULD On Thyself!! Knock off the "I should" garbage and you will feel tons better!!! I should be rich and have three Lamborghinis and a chauffeur that out hunks all other hunks around!! I should also look like some knock out chick movie star, but I look more like a Yeti.

You DO have the characteristics you have, and they are yours and need to be in good health to keep you on your way. You are just a YOU and we are happy to have YOU here with us. Overthinking our UNIQUE characteristics <not freak like> is going to confuse us. Look at Camels or Tapir's or for heavens sake a Giraffe over in the zoo, and tell one of them they're a freak, but be ready to run. Take a breath and decide what you are going to do with the life and features you have, and if they work fine with each other, YOU are a YOU.
