Okay this thread is going to be pinned.
I’m intersex. Androgen insensitive. My chromosomes are XY despite looking phenotypically female. When I was born I didn’t have all the necessary mapping like a vaginal canal or cervix. I had a partial uterus, an ovary and a gonad not connected to anything. Because of this, the doctor suggested to my parents to get me “fixed” right away. There was 0 reasons to do this. It was not negatively affecting me. I could pee just fine.
@Qbae I am so sorry you had that crime committed against you and your body. *safe hugs* You and I are part of a group who can definitively say, “This was not a choice; ‘modern’ medicine did this to me!” (My hormones were changed by my antiseizure medicine [valproic acid].) I’m certain your experience has been much more traumatic than mine, but I feel we have a lot in common.
@caaddison88 nah, trauma isn’t a contest. 💕
