I realized last night that I had hypospadias and bilateral cryptorchidism. I learned last night that I had a surgery at three years old to move one testicle down, and there was also some work done on my penis which I was told was a "circumcision" (this was 1972). Regardless of what the circumcision op was, I still had mild/moderate hypospadias until my sex reassignment surgery 20 years later. I only learned last night that I had hypospadias and that I had bilateral cryptorchidism (as I was never told obout the surgery to correct one of the testes). Another part of my story is that the testicle that remained in my abdomen got torsion at age 11 and was rendered nonfunc…

For those of you who can get the Canadian Broadcast Corporation (CBC) channel. CBC Newsworld will be reporting on "The Third Sex". http://www.cbc.ca/documentaries/thelens/2009/thethirdsex/ "Someone around you has a secret, a family secret. He or she was born with both male and female genitals. He's not handicapped nor is he mentally challenged. But he is faced with a continuing unresolved personal issue: should life go on this way? The strain of not being able to share with others is unbearable, as the frustration of medical dead-ends leads to stress and the issue of being physically a man, but feeling like a woman (or vice versa) can become obsessive or even …

Intersex surgeries spark move away from drastic treatment Apr 17, 1:18 AM (ET) By LINDSEY TANNER CHICAGO (AP) — She was born to a young Chicago couple, named Jennifer, and grew into a beautiful long-lashed child with wavy dark hair, big brown eyes and a yearning, youthful desire to be just like all the other girls. Only she wasn't. Doctors first noticed her slightly enlarged genitals, and then discovered she had testes inside her abdomen and male chromosomes. And so began a series of surgeries to make things "right." http://apnews.myway.com/article/20150417/us--med--intersex_children-696841353c.html

on these grounds: 1. insufficient evidence that atypical genitalia leads to psychosocial distress 2. the surgery can cause severe and irreversible physical harm and emotional distress 3. they violate an individual's right to personal autonomy over their own future http://oii-usa.org/4325/former-surgeon-generals-call-for-mor-unnec-intersex-infant-surgeries/

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…

I always wondered what happened to me. I had a "GID" all the way back when I can first remember. I had a bad case of TS where I had srs and all the therapy one can stomach in 3 lifetimes. I had no difficulty in passing as all my life when people first see me thought I was a girl. I had a girls voice and still do. I am in my 40s now and my life is stable. I always have been a girl. Even though I was biologically male back then, I had a hard time passing as a guy. My mother said that she had bleeding when she was three months pregnet with me. I often wondered if I have some sort of intersexed condition. Sheila :unsure:

With all of the undue stresses a mother endures these day's Is it possible that mankind is going to another plateau ? Have We Evolved Again ? Share your story or idea Thank you ; Intersex/Helper

This is something iff'y but Tricky and touchy to Define in word's but We As humans must do What we feel is Right To Be Whole As A Person Gender Wise . Year's ago Sometimes @ Birth it is not Uncommon that Medical intervention is Used to help alleviate The Worries amongst young parents / or parent's and Dr's or Midwifes etc. This stuff goes back long time but it is hard to define To the Beggining's of Mankind .. Being a Organism with both Sex organs is Able to live is A Devine gift . With this being Spoken There is Curious Clues ( Medical )( Explanations ) but not Totally Factual as to what causes Hermaphroditism' Mank…

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.

Posted 7:48 PM, December 30, 2016, by Mariel Turner For the first time in the United States, New York City issued a birth certificate reading “intersex” in the gender field. On December 15, the city’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene corrected the original birth certificate of Sara Kelly Keenan, born in Brooklyn 55 years ago. She received it in the mail at her Santa Cruz, California, home on Tuesday. “It was wonderful. It was the first time I saw ‘intersex’ in print related to my name,” said Keenan, an addiction life coach. “When I applied in court, I chose ‘non-binary,’ because that’s an umbrella term that would also include gender variant people.” More here: http…
