Good afternoon all. I am new to this forum and wanted to chime in on some items that I think should be explored in the DSD, intersex, hermaphrodite arenas. I know that this thread is a bit long and I hope that people find it helpful. Even being my first post here, I would hope that it opens up a discussion and doesn't violate any protocols on the forum. I would love to explore my own personal journey, but I wanted to answer an older thread without reviving a zombie thread. If I overstepped any bounds please accept apologies ahead of time. This subject is of great interest to me and I wanted to answer with some gus…

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.

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 …

I have always known that I was androgynous, both male and female in my personality and identity. Though my outward social persona has been male from the beginning, it crossed my mind a few times wondering what it would be like to be fully female, but mostly I have considered this the best of both worlds to be both. It was the greatest gift when, in my twenties, I discovered that I have an almost hidden female part in addition to my male anatomy. It gave physical three-dimensionality to my inner experience and I feel much more whole or complete. I feel extraordinarily fortunate to be both male and female, and it has enhanced my relationships with my female partners. There'…

Well, I was wondering about a few things... because I'm having an intersex character in my story... that I'm making. Anyways, what do intersex's use for pronouns? He? She? IT? And, is there anything else I should know?

I found the following article to be most informative: The Hidden Gender Annie

A have read across the various websites full of research into the different types of intersex and one concept still confuses me. Ovotestis. Wikipedia seems not to have a page on them. My understanding is that they are basically a combination of an ovary and a testicle. But some thigns are left unmentioned by most places I've looked. What type of cells do they produce? -Sperm -Ovum -OvoSperm? Where are they found in the body? -Where Ovaries should be? -Where Testicles should be? -One of each? -Somewhere in between? How many are there? -Is it possible to have two ovotestes? When (If ever) do they generate cells? -Ovaries generate Ova before even bei…

Hi, I'm new on here. For all my life, I've been wanting to being a girl and denying and supressing it. I've only now admitted and decided to live with it. However, I think I may actually be intersexed. A lot of my body features and shapes are distinctly female. I also go through mood swings and emotional changes in ways that women do and guys don't. My bodyhair is light, on my arms and face (I can't grow a real beard, even if I don't shave for weeks, just some dark fuzz), although moderate on my legs. (although I suspect that's a genetic feature of being Italian-descended). So, is it possible that I've got something generating estrogen or something similar in me? Is…

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…

Humaity has this Trait inbred in all our chromosomes DNA Not all doctors will pick up on this Genotype and part of humanity sadly many times untill later in life as one asks why do I feel or ct this way etc !!!!

Hermaphrodite - Sexuality the Documentary http://www.sexualitythedocumentary.com Dual sex is a state that seems so remote to most but, it is more common and comes in more forms than can be imagined. Brian Leonard's brevity in this clip is to be admired. He talks about his painful upbringing and the family confusion about his duality. There is frontal nudity in this segment as Brian shows us what he/she is all about. This documentary is for mature audiences and contains nudity.
