Thank you Kailana!
What an awesome name I must say! It's my old male name rearranged! I used to first present myself as a boy when I was younger in online video games with the handle Laik, and my friend in Taiwan would be Kail. We used the names in real life too and since its just such an odd name I thought it worth the mention.
It was very nice to wake up to your post.
I too am glad to see someone who you can't jam into a box.
Have you ever looked into Muslim views on Hermaphrodites? You may feel very comfortable to see that many Muslims who are born seemingly male have found a holy place in the society as women and they go out without HRT or anything, in public and are actually accepted in some places. Which I totally thought was awesome.
A lot of religions worship and respect the intersex individual, in many ways. I think it is the widespread misunderstanding and stigma that has thrown us off this century but that hope is very very near for acceptance.
Not one single person I know in my new home town misunderstands or is unaccepting of my condition and I am very open about being "Daddy" even though I do not pass for my life right now because I can't bind my breasts since I do intend to breastfeed my new baby come August. So everyone sees this "girl" who is being called "Daddy" by his daughter in public and if they don't like it well TS!
Speaking of my pregnancy there are a lot of interesting points about it. My hips don't, will not and can not separate, and neither will my abdominal walls as my midwife has pointed out. Instead of a pregnancy belly I have a thick stalky trunk of a body, still very muscular on the front because I do have the abs to brag about and my whole body, save for the newly developed breasts is still very male.
I can really now say "Hey Look, A pregnant man!" and thats now how I really look!
At 25 weeks I went from a size 28 waist to a 34 and gained 30 lbs!
