Howard Stern is ready to mock your genitals

TLCTugger — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 05:20:03 GMT

Enter the Howard Stern "Worst Penis Injury" Contest

---------------------------------

Howard Stern, who has been loudly against non-therapeutic genital cutting in the past, stands at the ready to make a mockery of your penis injury.

http://www.sirius.com/servlet/Conten...=1272762266589

Until September 16th, the show is accepting 500-word essays to explain why your penis injury is the worst they will encounter. They don't neccessarily need you to show your genitals, but they will need some sort of official looking verification/documentation before they hand you the $5000 prize.

To hell with prizes. I say if they get enough IS people writing that having normalizing surgery or therapy was plenty damaging, they just may include one of them among their finalists on a lark.

Howard's co-host Robbin Quivers reads a sampling of current news near the end of every show and has recently covered the story of the "hermaphrodite transsexual" dog that made the rounds in the lazy media. This very influential show could clearly use an eduction.

These letters from wounded IS folk could be a way to put the AAP's lack of definitive advice - to recommend leaving the patient's future options as open as possible - on the show's radar and get Howard ranting again. Follow the link above to submit yours.

Cheers,

Hello newbie here

Ressey — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 21:45:39 GMT

I originally joined this forum in 09 but haven't been around much since then. My purpose was to educate myself about the intersex & transgendered community because there are still many things I don't know about being intersex & transgendered. I also want to enlighten others with information I learn and help take away the misconceptions about being intersex or transgendered. I used to moderate a LGBTQ forum back when I was teenager. I'm glad I joined that forum in the past because it helped me learn things about the gay & trans community. I'm a 20 year old bisexual female that's majoring in the field of psychology. Its nice to meet you all. :wavey:

Hmm back from my online Rehab self imposed

Kailana — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 03:17:59 GMT

ok, just wanted to say hello to everyone new and old.

And most importantly to state one simple fact as I was recently notified on youtube that someone has been running around telling people that I was impersonating someone else and my name is Eric.

That is a blatant lie. I have never impersonated anyone and for those that know me. I originally posted on BLO with my real name when I first came to BLO back in 2002 as Rudy A. Alaniz. <--was my legal federally recognized name and the one I served in the military with as I did change it from Rodolfo which is my psuedo birth name on my replacement birth cirtificate dated a month after I was born.

In 2006, July I legally changed my name to Kailana Sidrandi Alaniz and have used it ever since. Now Eric is another member and I repeat I have never impersonated anyone ever. I am at least honest when I write. And yes sometimes I might make a mistake now and then but for the most part I am reliable.

Now I have some 564 posts to catch up on but its ok, I like reading and hopefully what ever nonsense may have been reported about me I am still me and still around and if anyone wishes to chat or send me a pm please know they are appreciated.

take care for now I am sure to start back in on my usual hello's and welcome to BLO for new members and old.

Transgens At it Again: Saying intersex is a subset of TRANS

louisev — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 16:46:09 GMT

Excuse me while I fume; a home forum of mine, DailyKos, a political site for the most part, has a diary up by a M2F transsexual claiming that "Intersex is a subset of Transgender."

Here is the link for anyone who would like to weigh in alongside me.

ironically the diary is titled "Transgender Science."

are intersex people fertile?

portland23 — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 23:53:48 GMT

I was just wondering if intersex people are ever fertile.

Also, is it possible for someone who was born intersex to appear completely female later in life.

Hello, I don't believe I ever formally introduced myself on here. I am 24, I was diagnosed with PAIS, when I was 22. Until recently it has essentially been left untreated. Thankfully as I child I didn't go through the horrors of genital surgery, however mine are quite feminine. However, I look and sound male. I did not know that this cite even existed until I started making videos about being intersex on Youtube. I have had a ruff life because of my condition, and still am having a tough time coping. Heck, I had a ruff life regardless of being intersex, but that's another story. You are probably wondering why I was not diagnosed until such a late age. Part of that was due to in-proper parenting and my own stubborn fear of letting someone else control what happened to me. I also, was very afraid for anyone to know. So, since 7th grade I have lived androgynous, and still do. To be honest, I am scared to try and live any other way. My videos on Youtube are under the same username as here. I hope that through this forum, I can deal/cope, as I really haven't been able to. I have been dealing with this essentially alone, I have no one around me, and because of my past relationship/this condition I have lost the ability to socialize. I live in the U.S. in Ohio. Any and all questions, recommendations, friendships are completely welcome. I am actually wondering, as to how much longer I can take it. I have felt doomed, and worthless lately, so please feel free to contact me.:boohoo: Sorry to be a downer.

hello

lemmix — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 14:27:31 GMT

:-D hello everyone, am really happy to finally meet people who are like me, its amazing to discover that i have been living with shame and thinking am a curse and i have created lies in order to survive this world.

i have been called names "woman man" stripped naked in schools to see what i realy have down there and have tried to kill my self because i did not know what to do.
i hope i learn more about my self and will finally feel comfortable with who i am.
thanks

PAIS Hormone Therapy

lucidwinds — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 00:02:07 GMT

I was diagnosed with PAIS, in 2008. I just got my undescended testes removed, and was placed on estrogen treatment. I have noticed that my hair is falling out. I had them run checks on levels and everything is normal. I am scared this will be permanent. To be honest, I have spent 24 years dealing with problems, this is the Icing on the cake. I don't know what to do, or if this is normal/permanent. I am very masculine as my condition was left untreated until here recently. I am in a lot of emotional pain, and even lack the energy right now to go further in-depth. I am at my breaking point. Can anyone help me? :help:

Thanks

Jessi

quiet is probably good?

Hi, all:

Elane here, from the wilds of British Columbia where I am now happily employed managing a mining camp. Somebody has to do it, I suppose.

Anyway, the relevance to CAH is that I've noticed quite an interesting change in my body fat since I took this new job. Much higher activity levels, mostly walking around at the various minesites, and clambering in and out of my pickup truck (especially when stuck in the mud, which happens). I have not done anything different rather than get more of that exercise, and over the past four months up here, with no weight change at all, it seems as if all of my body fat has decided to migrate down onto my butt.

Very odd, that. I haven't had any incidences of ketosis (such as I did way back before I got my initial Dx as a teenager); no change in my meds, no sense of muscle mass changing. Just fat migrating downhill as if gravity were pulling it.

Other than that, life's fine. New marriage is a wonderful thing, still in honeymoon mode after 2 years 2 months. ^_^

Back again =x

Janessa — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 22:44:31 GMT

Well, I quit getting on the forums for a while, since I am pretty sure I am just transgender with either no intersex conditions or a very minor, almost unnoticeable one. So I felt like I'd fit in better with other transgender people and have mainly been on transgender forums, but if you guys have no problem with me being here anyway, I think I'd like to learn more about intersexed people. =x
