I brougth my sis-in-law back stateside /w my wife & I: then quickly found out about her having CAH (non salt wasting). She is a high function Austism (sp), very shy, & a littly clingy. But, she tends to want to skeep /w her blue feeldoe & wear her share-sx during the day; even though she is "well endouded" enougth to urinate as a male due to her partly fused inner labia. Should my wife & I try to encourge her to 'act' female at leat some of the time, or just leave her be?

I just saw this being advertised at Blockbuster and decided to post it here. I will rent it when I get the chance and will comment on it here when I do. Let me know what you think when and if you see it. It is Spanish with English sub-titles so that may stop people from watching it. I have watched many foreign films and read the dialogue and am so glad I did otherwise I would have missed many excellent movies. Anyway, here is what Blockbuster posted regarding this film.

anyone see the documentary on the national geographic channel last nite (15 sep 09) called Explorer: Sex, Lies and Gender ? if so, any comments? chances are, if you saw the show The Girl Who Cries Blood, you might have hung around and caught Explorer. it dawned on me this morning that The Girl Who Cries Blood was advertised - i saw the ads at least a half a dozen times in the past week. hmmmmm.... if you missed Explorer: Sex, Lies and Gender... it is supposed to air again on 19 sep at 6pm, and on 22 sep at 5pm. both times are central, U.S. Dr Tiger Howard DeVore is featured in this documentary. in the program, the parents of a 7 year old girl [somehow] get…

My hips spread during puberty (like I'm as wide as my mom) and I think I have a very feminine face. There are also other things I've noticed, like I've been told that my nipples are "really big for a guy" and I have no hair on my chest and my brother and father do. Is this enough information for me to know that I'm intersexed? Oh, and I'm a male to female transsexual, so there must be a connection between this and that, right? I feel like maybe I started to develop as a girl as a fetus and then something went horribly wrong and there was a switch of some kind. That might not make sense, but whatever. I do have what seems to be a fully functional penis, although I…

Gender Puzzle (part 1 of 5) Video description: Are we on the cusp of discovering what determines gender? The old mantra - all girls have XX chromosomes and all boys have XY - is no longer reliable. Scientists are now looking beyond chromosomes to "brain sex" and the role of newly discovered genes. By studying transsexuals and people on the gender extremes, they believe they can unlock the gender puzzle. This high-quality documentary looks at the new and challenging science of gender.

Hi, my name is Gennee. I am not intersex but I desire to know you and understand what being intersex is. I am a transgender individual who believes that we should support one another. I guess that's my intro. Gennee :)

I have determined over the years I was born intersexed and am trying to get some answers...this gets personal. All of my seocndary sex chacteristics are female, and i never hit a male puberty and my voice never changed physically although I did start forcing it down after i grew breasts. I have no recollection of genitalia before i was 4, and my natural testosterone level was 347 before ever goin on hrt. before my grs....I had a scar that looked like fused labia. said scar heated up, got wet and could cause me to orgasm incessantly. when that scar was being...aroused, my quite well endowed male genitalia receded all the way up inside me to where the 7 inches of male, and …

I've been a healthy male as far as I could tell for the last 21 years. However as of late, especailly do to commentary by one of my girlfriends i've kind of questioned if I was really born a normal baby boy. *warning, next part is a wee bit descriptive and blunt* As a treat to my girlfriend, I did the whole "porn start cut" on my penis and scrotum. While she loved it, she noted that I had a pretty wierd scar along my scrotum leading down pretty far toward my anus. She even noted it felt there were scar tissue from stiches. Now at the time it wasn't that much of a concern, since I was otherwise pre-occupied. However after the incident I began to examine what she…

Just a heads up that the Oprah show today is about the Intersexed. Tune in if interested!

I ran across this site today. The revised Harry Benjamin Standards are saying that one is not transsexual but rather intersexed. I was wondering what others thought of this. To me, it makes perfect sense Billie Jo http://www.harrybenjaminsyndrome-info.org/soc.html

I was doing dishes this morning and thinking about various recent conversations and posts on the Internet when something hit me like a ton of bricks! I am in my mid-50s and grew up with a very strong female gender identity and (seemingly) pretty normal male genitalia. The only oddity was that, at puberty, I had both some male and some female development. Because my self identification was strongly female and I hated the “male parts”, I started self-medicating very early (about 14 years old) and tried to swamp any masculinization with estrogen. I lived a dual life for many years (female and androgynous). I had genital surgery at age 24 and took to my new life like a fis…

Twins can be identical, fraternal and apparently semi-identical, scientists now report. Read more... This story provides an intriging clue to the nature of genetic mosaicism. In genetic mosaicism, a single organism is thought to grow out of two or more fertilized eggs. The process by which they would combine into one embrio has never been satisfactorily explained. I think it is possible that the theory is upside down. I find it more likely that people who are a genetic mosaic result when a multiply-fertilized egg does not divide into semi-identical twins. This would imply that genetic mosaicism is far more common than previously thought.
