Why is it when you speak to endos, other doctors and on and on about the surgery that was done that they think you are some how supposed to be thankful for it ? "We don't do that type of surgery anymore," they say with a smile hoping that this makes everything OK, IT DOESN'T.

I tell them that I was find with what I was born with and their sugeries didn't make me anything but someone that was butchered.

Who the hell do these people think they are? Not everyone was suppose to look alike. Just living in their narrow world. Also, why when someone expresses displeasure with what was done they call you depressed when in reality they should offer an apology. Financial compensation from the ones that did it will not happen but an apology is a start.

Just a walking myth. I think doctors and others hate people like me because we upset the status quo.

People just want you to shut up, be good and blend in. I'm good at passing though but it has taken a toll on my soul because I walk the earth and realize that few accept you for what you really are. If I act like this then I can't have that. So, I'm the ultimate actor.

Unfortunatly, I like the sex that for the most part is opposite from me. Which makes my life a cage. If I act to much like them, it's weird to them and they back off. I turn one part off to exist in their world, it doesn't work though and I think they sense it.

Hi NAW,

Welcome to Bodies Like Ours. I know pretty well how you feel because it is much like place I too find myself. I remember so clearly when it was that I was moved to to more. I had just watched the Discovery Channel production "Is It a Boy or a Girl" and that SOB doctor was on there saying that adults who spoke up were "unfortunate historical footnotes". Thankfully, I was able to refocus my anger into something bigger rather than my initial reaction which would have landed me in jail. There's not a day I don't think about that quote, particularly if I am having a bad day full of self-doubt.

Again, welcome to Bodies...I look forward to having you around.
