That is terrible that a parent would have this type of surgery performed. The part I don't understand is why do<br />people put their bodies through these dangerous and expensive operations, at any age, just for the physical apperance? Aren't we, as people, so much more than what we appear on the outside? I would never change my body, unless I were sick.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506187185402877766.post-32469163708477175322012-04-07T11:37:10.245-05:002012-04-07T11:37:10.245-05:00Kudos and blessings, and hugs!Kudos and blessings, and hugs!Clases de ingléshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16988621738792107240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506187185402877766.post-52629958209913266052012-03-25T21:03:24.086-05:002012-03-25T21:03:24.086-05:00You know as lucky as I have been not to be critici...You know as lucky as I have been not to be criticized for being intersexed.

She was born intersex and raised as a boy, given male hormones but in her twenties decided to adopt a female identitiy. It just shows that the doctors can not know the mind of the infant that they butcher and should not make those decisions lightly. I think a lot of the worlds problems with gender come from the bible, god made men and women, male and female, Adam and Eve and if anything else should crop up it is the work of the devil and a freak. They need to accept that we were not created we have evolved and evolution knows no boundaries only those of survival and if humans play god by stopping the survival of intersex in the natural state then they are interfering with life, with evolution and may well be depriving the world of a natural progression. It is sad that our physical body has to define us so much, eg gay marriage it is surely just the joining of 2 people so whats the problem? I am just a rural housewife but if I had the power...!! I am so glad that you are free to speak your mind and give support to others to live freely too. :0)Shadownoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506187185402877766.post-49149791393520413452012-03-15T08:36:04.385-05:002012-03-15T08:36:04.385-05:00People like you I support because it emphisizes th...People like you I support because it emphisizes the question of what people really are: human.

I have been coming out to myself recently and I don't know if I fit clearly into any categories and am not sure if I want to. It is rich and liberating to come home to being both male and female. I often want to dress half and half, while some days one gender is more than the other. It seems to be very fluid. For me this seems to be a huge soul rather than anatomical issue. I was born anatomically female. Yet, I always wore boys clothes as a child and was convinced I would never menstruate. In college I learned to be female (kinda) and am now coming home to my male side again,integrating the two. The idea of ever surgically undoing someone's anatomy from birth is beyond criminal. It seems to violate every ethic about do no harm on the level of body, mind and spirit. Is there a place where we can petition against this online or otherwise? It is hard enough to honor one's natural gender orientation without this extreme abuse. I would love to hear more in the way of positive strategies and education. Also in my therapy work with adolescents I will integrate psycho education/information with teens who are disclosing gender identity issues. Thank you so much for your passion and commitment...and not giving up!Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04542299510481559929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506187185402877766.post-24012778912307762712012-02-12T18:56:41.425-06:002012-02-12T18:56:41.425-06:00Hi, I enjoyed reading your blogpost.
