KimDi -

I certainly cannot understand how you feel or the magnitude of what you have been through being born inter-sexed. However, it is not something for a circus freak show - thank goodness I think those days are over (at least I hope).

I have watched specials on hermaphrodites and know that being inter-sexed is confusing enough but throw in parental response, humankind response, and potential issues with two different sets of hormones, and it is not a pleasant situation.

I hope that you are receiving medical and psychological assistance for this. Being intersexed is being intersexed, just as being mentally ill is being mentally ill. It does not make you a good or bad person in itself - your thoughts, feelings, and how you treat mankind is what makes you who you are and we have control over that.

I'm glad you shared and I hope you can feel better about this.

Tranquility
