kendological:don't mind them. He only talks like this because he is a man so for him its like fun. He doesn't understand how all this feels for someone who identifies herself as a woman. Do you think i enjoy having masculine traits in my body as a woman? Do you know the suicidal feelings it gives me each day ? but i try to stay strong and face life the way it is. With negative people like this who have refused to be sensitive, you keep making our lives more miserable. 1 Like |

kendological:its a pity these people always think they need to operate on us because we don't fit into society male or female norms or chose gender for us because we score higher in the male range or female range. Referring to James Johnson, he was born intersex, raised as a girl, he himself said he was nonbinary in his brain, he didnt really know what gender he was. He continued living his life as a female, did very well in female football team but his whole career shattered when they found out he was intersex and disqualified him and they ran test on him finding out he scored higher in the male range and they decided to make him a male and James i know is a very humble and godfearing person, he just choose to follow the path the phsycians choose for him and he had many costly operations to transform to a man and up till today his body doesnt still function as a normal man because it was never really meant to be like that, if not for this wicked society not leaving him the way he was naturally and accepting him that way but forcing surgery on him and destroyed his whole career because he doesn't fit in, because he is intersex. Till today, James is still begging for more aid to have more operations to be able to function as a normal man and all this will cost a lot. Even in male soccer teams, they still reject him because he is intersex. They should have left him the way he was naturally but will ignorant shallow minded people ever leave us alone? If someone is nonbinary, they are nonbinary, God made us this way, do not go start choosing gender for us so we fit into what your mind tells you we are. Who are you to tell us who we are? We are born intersex this way. Intersex means intersex 5 Likes |

Caster semenya is one of the true example of an intersex icon/hero that inspires many of us. Caster Semenya stood her ground as a woman despite all odds, all the abuses she recieved, she was forced to take testosterone reducing drugs as doctors claims she is more of a man in her body but she refused and maintained her stand as a woman and kept on racing in her career as a female athlete. Many times they try to disqualify her, she fought for her rights... These are people you call intersex heroes or inspiration not people that allow doctors or ignorant society to choose gender for them because they score higher in the male or female range and end up destroying their lives and career. 2 Likes 1 Share |

IntersexSherry:I wouldn't put down those who choose to have what they now see as a problem corrected. I mean it is all a matter of personal choice, is it not? The means to "correct" what they see as a problem is available, so it's their freedom to choose is it not? It is also a choice to have heros. That you are able to live with your body as is, does not mean that the next man, or woman,or intersex is able to do the same. |

travelland:And why? For some reasons if i get the operation to fully develop my vagina canal and my opening and also get my testes removed, i have greater chances of functioning very well as a woman. As the doctors will still run test on me to discover where my ovaries are located. And for the womb i just guessed it could not be there since i don't get true periods. Even if there is any tiny womb they can discover inside and be able to develop it. Last time i did pelvic ultrasound, my seminical vessels were not detected and the radiologist found it kind of weird but he said we need to do more deep testing to find where it is located. Lol intersex discoveries are never easy. You need series of testing. |

Wow! Interesting, educating. I was curious, but all my questions have been answered. Like others have said, I applaud you for taking the courage to come out. And as you know aforehand, more people would disbelief you than accept you. A percentage would even ridicule you. Intersexsherry That's the sorta situation you find yourself. Since you said you're a she, you're a she. One question that just popped to me. At birth were you given a masculine name, or a unisexual name? If it was masculine, have you changed it to your choice, or you still bear it? Dazzol |
Re: I Am Intersex/hermaphrodite. We Exist. Learn! by Nobody: 4:54am On May 11, 2020 |
barackodam:Thank you very much. Its good people learn about us, it will help reduce the hate, misconceptions and ignornace. I'm a very shy and indoor person as a result of my intersex self so i don't like coming out much in public, i prefer writing and giving out the message. Yes, i do write novels too. And to your question, i was given a masculine name, i have not made any legal changes on any of my certificate, they all still read male so its very hard for me to get a job or some people to take me serious but luckily i got some good friends that understands me and donate money to me. I gave myself the name Sherry but it hasn't been legaly changed yet in any of my documents. |

how is your relationship with your parents like, were they able to accept you as a girl that you feel you are or they objected especially the fact that they saw you as a male and that's why a male name was given to you. |

greatbuc:All these type of people its only sex they think of. They will keep on imagining ''how will i be having sex with a woman and seeing dick, where will i put my dick?"" Just from their talks, you can know where all their whole anger stems from. Do you even know what makes a man a man or what makes a woman a woman? You will never know because all your thoughts are shallow. |

Orubebe01:orubebe. My doctor already examined all this and diagnosed me as intersex female . Both my body structure, my breast, my genital, my hair, my voice he all examined very well. I ran an ultrasound on my pelvic but my seminical vessels were absent which is strange. The radiologist then suggested more deep testing to reach all parts very well. All these testing requires lot of money which i don't have. I will still have them to be sure if my female reproductive organ can be developed well and i can be able to function very well as female. But as a man, the test carried out has already proven am impotent as a man.. If i'm also impotent as a woman after deep testing is carried out then whats the reasoning of doing surgery rather than leaving myself this way . Most intersex people are infertile depending on the variation, only a few are lucky to deliver through IVF but that will require series of tests, research, surgeries and hormone replacement therapy. It helped some and others tried all measures still no luck |

One lesson i learnt from all this is how shallow humans really are. Most of their hate and ignorance all stems from shallow reasons, using religion to support their ignorant claims. Yes most Nigerians are very ignorant on this field and they believe we don't exist here in Nigeria. All Most Nigerians know is you either male or a female. Nonbinary people like myself are never understood instead perceived to be something else. Not everyone is going to accept or fully understand you and you shouldn't live your life defined by society or others. Learning to love and accept yourself completely is the best of all. We all know there are lot of assholes that exists in this world that refuse to accept knowledge so don't waste your time trying to proove anything to them. They all have the tools to educate themselves but they choose to wallow in self hate and ignorance. I have learnt to love and accept myself and i don't care if i end up alone. I rather be alone than to be with a closeminded person, if i want to be someone, the person must be very openminded but sadly, hardly would you find such person. A woman is not made for sex or made for a man alone. There is more to life than all these and also many ways to be happy . Just facing facts, lot of men out there are only perverts and assholes that in a way am even grateful am intersex.. |
