Personal Stories

[Betsy]

As many of our members know, I am a big advocate of sharing our stories as a way of beginning to heal.

Today, we received and added a new personal story from Jon. I hope you'll take a few moments to read it. I believe you'll find great insight from it.

You can find it at http://www.bodieslikeours.org/Personal%20Stories/jonsstory.html

If you would like to share yours on the Bodies Like Ours website, feel free to send it to personalstories@<hidden>. Please include a note that it is okay for us to post it.

Warm wishes,

Betsy

Thank you for posting Jon's story. And thanks to you Jon for sharing your story. Not an easy one to tell I am sure. I am the mother of a 9 yr old intersex child who is now questioning her assignment as female. I just wanted to thank all of you who post and tell your stories. It helps me to know I am doing the right thing in being totally honest with Kelli and to be open to anything she feels is necessary (identifying male for instance etc.). I listen to every word you all express and say. Never feel what you have to say goes unheard. I am right here learning from all of you and trying to help educate others along with raising my child without the shame and secrecy.
Thank you again.
