Hi Roe: Being born intersex means that you are born between male and female. I was born with a male brain and a female body. I have severe gynomastia (man tits) and will have them removed. I have a very small dick for a man, or a very large clit for a woman. I was not born without any balls, but had very dysfunctional ovaries which were removed when I was 29. The other term that is used sometimes for men in my condition is tranmale. It took me till I was 54, just last year, to finally come to terms with being a male living in a female appearing body. I'm now taking Testosterone shots and am living full time as a male--actually have for many years, just not consciously to the outside world. That means that I always dressed in male clothing and had a very male perspective on the world, related as a male, etc....but thot I was a butch lesbian rather than a male. Through excellent therapy, some deep soul searching, lots of education on the subject, and a very loving, supportive and safe relationship I finally was able to be honest with myself and others about my real life and who I am. I'm not ashamed of my past life in the estrogen zone, neither am I ashamed of myself as an intersexed person, nor as a male who has some physical deformaties that will be fixed with plastic surgery. It was very difficult growing up and being conditioned as a female in the 50's, all the while knowing and feeling myself to be male. But I'm not looking back now, I'm looking forward to living a full and happy life. I am so thankful and grateful to be alive, reallly for the first time in my 55 years! Now, I'm ready to celebrate living, as I think we all were created to do...some of us just take longer to get to that realization.
