Intersexed Male/Female

[nitehwk]

I have been a member here for a couple of months, reading and learning from the post. I am 71 year old intersex male. During puberty is when changes were noticed with my development. My male parts did not develop and I sprouted breast buds. I went through the usual teasing and torment in junior high and high school. My body continued growing and I reached 6'2" and 225 lbs. I started wearing a bra in high school very discreetly. My parents took me to several doctors to try to figure out what was going on with me. I have always presented as male mainly because of my size. Over the years I have been treated with t shots and suggestions of surgery to remove breast and re-do genitalia. The T made me ill and no way did I want surgery. I always had low T and this affected both my mental and physical development. I was put on estrogen in my late 30's and I improved both mentally and physically. My mind had always thought female and changes to during my body have made me feel more female. I love my soft and smooth skin, hairless body, 44 full C breast. I have had an orchi which really helped me. I never wanted srs. An ovary was found during the orchi procedure. So much for the doctors years ago that couldn't figure out my problem. I feel I am a transwomen, but present non-binary (butch). I love life and wouldn't change a thing. Sorry for the long post..

Hello Billie and welcome, finally!   Yours is not a long post.  We don't mind any extra words you might post!  Its interesting that doctors never did enough (correct) testing to determine you actually had an ovary.   If you feel you are a transwoman, then you are.  Enough said.  I'm happy you're loving life and are happy with things to date.  

 

Please join in!!!  Don't wait so long for you next post.

 

Cheers, Jani

Hi Billy, thanks for the introduction. Lots of us enjoy sharing here. I've found it to be a very safe place. Your post is not too long at all. Like you, I felt I rambled on in some posts, but have come to realize that the folks here appreciate the sharing and that when I do need to get some stuff out of my head, it really helps and we all understand.
