"Just hours after giving birth 30 years ago, Jeanette and her husband Malcolm were shocked to discover their newborn baby was intersex – meaning it had male and female sex organs...The couple were shocked to discover their baby boy had a female reproductive system – including a womb, ovaries and fallopian tubes – but also a penis and testes. The doctors explained the baby was a hermaphrodite, or intersex, a condition which affects around one in 5,000 babies..." - Reports The Mirror (UK) as Jeanette Lane recants life raising a child born hermaphrodite.
Okay -just read that doctors give people a 5-Alpha Reductase test to determine if they carry the genetic trait that births hermaphrodites.
ReplyDeleteIf a person is born with a deformity, they are also tested. At this point, doctors tell their patient that if they decide to have a child, chances are their child will be born as a hermaphrodite or intersex.
Please read this information i discovered on the internet:
March 8 (IANS) Drugs commonly used to treat urinary problems or hair loss can produce erectile dysfunction, depression and loss of libido even after the medication ia discontinued.
According to a study, 5 alpha reductase inhibitors found in such drugs interfere with the effect of certain male hormones (androgens) on the prostate.
**Straight men who take drugs with 5 Alpha Reductase Inhibitors will experience many side effects. Most Hermaphrodites are born without 5-Alpha-Reductase, so why are they putting 5-Alpha Reductase in medicine and given it to people who isn't a hermaphrodite?
The side effects from these patients affects the straight male and straight female -- not the hermaphrodite.
****5-Alpha-reductase deficiency (5-ARD) is an autosomal recessive intersex condition caused by a mutation of the 5-alpha reductase type 2 gene.[1]
**Why are scientist putting 5-ARD in drugs to treat urinary problems and other health conditions?
5-Alpha-reductase is an enzyme that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in peripheral tissues.

ReplyDeleteDoctors test people who were born that way to determine if there’s a deficiency in 5 alpha-Reductase-2 or a 17 beta-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase.
All person born as a hermaphrodite carry one of these deficiencys.
One example to further illustrate this can be found in the treatment of 5-Alpha-Reductase (5-AR) Deficiency, made infamous by Jeffrey Eugenides’ 2002 novel, Middlesex. 5-AR affects only a limited population, one in which incest seems to be highly prevalent, and it has been documented as occurring quite frequently among some living in the Dominican Republic and among the Sambia people of New Guinea (Herdt 68). In this condition, children are born male, having both an XY chromosomal makeup and testicular gonad tissue. However, they lack the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, so their bodies cannot convert testosterone into the dihydrotesterone necessary to create male genitalia. As a result, they are born with female-looking genitalia, including what appears to be “a short vagina and apparent labia and clitoris” (Dreger, Hermaphrodites 39).

Children birthed through incest are born with 5-Alpha-reductase (5-AR) Deficiency.
ReplyDelete"5-AR affects only a limited population, one in which incest seems to be highly prevalent, and it has been documented"
Because this intersex condition has always occurred in the Sambian culture, where medical technology is limited, those born with this condition are not treated. In fact, they occupy a special place within the culture. For them, as Gilbert Herdt writes, the Sambia “have created an historically divergent third sex category, neither male or female” (420). In fact, the Sambia call 5-AR people kwolu-aatmwol, or “female thing changed into a male” (Herdt 68). In the Dominican Republic 5-AR also occurs so often that prevailing rhetoric has generated a name for those that are neither male or female. 5-AR children not fully developed are called guevedoche, or “penis at 12” (Herdt 68).

…They have a son called Milton, who woos his cousin Tessie with a seductive clarinet (touching her intimately with the bell of the instrument as he plays). All this incurable incest enables those recessive family genes to cosy up together, too, and this is how our heroine Callie gets to be born as a hermaphrodite.

During the transatlantic voyage, brother and sister fall in love with each other and are married by the ship’s captain. They know this is not really allowed – but what the hell, nobody knows who they are. Are you ready for some genetics? The happy young couple are blissfully unaware that they are each carrying a recessive gene on the fifth chromosome that blocks production of an enzyme called 5-Alpha-reductase. Without this enzyme, a body baby can’t produce dihydrotestosterone, his testes won’t descent, and he is brought up as a girl. No one suspects anything until puberty, when regular testosterone starts to squirt from those hidden gonads producing disturbing gender ambiguity.

^This is sad!
ReplyDeleteWhy are these people telling a fib? Out of all of the interviews that i've read. These people always talk about wanting a sex change but they never mentioned how their body suffers from a defiency of 5-Alpha-Reductase.
Do your own search. Search for 5-Alpha-Reductase and incest and watch how your screen will become flooded with some mind blowing information.
So all you straight people who are falling in love with these hermaphrodites WAKE UP!
Hermaphrodites should marry their own kind. They are the only people who understand each other because each were born that way.
And there you have it! The Hermaphrodite condition has been linked to incest.
ReplyDeleteI am sure this will save the government A LOT of money.
Why should we spend our tax payers dollars on giving a person a sex change operation when they willfully engaged in sex acts with their family members? Had a child or children who were 'born that way' and now they are begging for the government to help them!
Please! Laws should be set against this. Some states actually approve cousins to marry but they can't have children.
They do so any way and lean towards the government for financialy support.
Incest!
They are walking around talking about gay rights PLEASE! Stop having sex with your cousins!
SAY NO TO INCEST!
Thinking my daughter is hermaphrod but don't want to talk about it to her. What specialist should I contact for blood work? She already has high levels of androgen . Help not found
ReplyDeleteHowdy! This blog post couldn't be written any better! Looking at this article reminds me of my previous roommate! He always kept preaching about this. I am going to forward this article to him. Pretty sure he's going to have a great read.
