I was a happy little boy. I played with cars and computer games. I had a tree house —albeit a very tidy one. Then puberty kicked in and I thought: “Hang on, my sister is developing breasts and hips. Why aren’t I?” As my face started to change and I got hairy, I was horrified and desperately ashamed. I thought I was some kind of freak.
One of my guiltiest secrets was trying on my sister’s clothes, but it just made me feel worse, because when I looked in the mirror a boy’s face stared back. I thought there was no hope for me.
I grew up thinking that transsexuals were slightly gross: I didn’t want to be someone who looked like a man in a dress; being a target for ridicule would have just added to the pain. When I saw a transsexual in the street — 6ft 2in with a huge man’s face — the distress I felt was indescribable. I didn’t realise that the trans women you don’t see are those who have had successful surgery and have vanished into society.
A friend’s mum told my mum she thought I might be gay. I wasn’t: my first girlfriend became my wife and I loved her deeply. It was a meeting of minds that transcended gender. I played the role — the good son, the good husband — because I thought there was no choice. I balled the pain up inside myself and closed down emotionally. I never drank alcohol, because I knew if I had a couple of drinks, someone more feminine, more animated, would emerge..
Story Continues..
So I guess this person is intersexed!!

ReplyDeleteDid she grow up as a girl and then puberty kicked in and she started to look like a boy and the process freaked her out and this made her "desperately ashamed"?
There's still something missing and she was the one who shared "her" story.
She grew up as a intersexed or hermaphrodite.
What gets me is the parents of these people don't tell them the truth about their condition. Then they have to find out gradually as their bodies start to develope in the opposite direction, as you will, as opposed to the way it should based on the gender that they are being reared in.
ReplyDeleteHow can a mother do this to her child? This is what I would like to know. Don't they know that eventually their children will find out one way or the other. This has to be very hardening for the person to grow up not knowing what is wrong with them. This can lead to deep manic depression and eventually suicide. This shyt is aweful.
But what gets me is WHY isn't these hundreds of web pages not coming forth and explanning that inbreeding is ONE of the (because there has to be others) reasons that hermaphrodites are born. They speak about plants and animals that are close in relations giving off hermaphroditic seeds, but they never come out and say that the rules apply to humans also. Only people that are smart enough to connect the dots and put 2 and 2 together can relate it to Homospiens. I really appreciate the Moderator for bringing this information forward. This answers so many of my questions about Hollywierd.
I've been interested in Hermaphrodites every since I started studying Nuwaubu. Did yall know that King Tuts father was a hermaphrodite. I can't think of this pharoahs name but if you take a look at the pictures of the Ancient Eigptians (the correct spelling) you will see one of the pharoahs had extremely large hips. Also as I mentioned before EVITA PERRON WAS A HERMAPHRODITE.

"EVITA PERRON WAS A HERMAPHRODITE"
This has taken place for over 100 years. The articles under the post "The Truth About Hermaphrodites" was written in the early 1900's and last 1800's and it's remains an issue to date!
The facts were published throughout many medical journals and even those within the medical profession refuse to educate us all.
There's too much information out there and i am a little upset that the url for hermaphrodites.us.com website isn't updated on regular basis.
I read the story about Evita Perron and YEs she was born as a hermaphrodite. When she discovered the truth and because tired of being raped by her father, she ran away from her family and got rid of everything that would link her or him to them.
Dorothy Dandridge was born as a hermaphrodite and her daughter was also born as a hermaphrodite. The movies that depict the life of Evita and Dorothy was far from the truth.
It was only fair that they picked two hermaphrodites to play the lead role.
Halle Berry and Madonna.
These two people were "MADE" for Hollywood.
2000 years!
ReplyDeleteActually, I am transexual, which is an intersex condition where body development and brain development diverge in terms of gender during gestation. I was not a hermaphrodite (someone with both sets of genitals), but anatomically male with a female brain. Nor was I the product of an "incestuous relationship"!
ReplyDeleteKate Craig-Wood (the actual one)
It's hard to believe that Dorothy dandridge was born a hermie. How were they able to hide it at that time. Because they didn't have the medical technology back then that we have today, it seems it would have been next to impossible to hide.
ReplyDeleteThey didn't hide it - instead those chose to hide Dorothy's daughter.
ReplyDeleteWhere is she or where is he?

ReplyDeleteKate, there are several genetic spin offs that associate with the condition of the hermaphrodite.
I strongly encourage you to step into a medical textbook to read more about your condition. You can begin by explording through this website: pubmed.gov
It's an remarkable article in support of all the online users; they will get benefit from it I am sure.
