Perhaps you might just ask your doctor to rewrite the information differently. I really don't think it is neccessary for him to state what you have anatomically. Talk to him, and ask if it is possible to change the wording, like include the hypogonadism, intersexed female. Normal female hormone levels and the like. I really don't think it is neccesary for the Passport Agency to know what genitalia you actually have, or if you are going to transition to female. Talk to your doctor and see what he will do, can do. I think there is alot of confusion over the differences of a intersexed person and a transsexual.

From a medical point of view, the intersexed condition negates the transsexual condition, it is a different diagnosis in the DSM. Basically, if you are intersexed, the rules, regulations, for mtf, ftm, transsexuals, are not suppose to apply, the Intersexed condition takes presidence(i think i spelled that right)a intersexed person is not so suppose to be held to the harry benjamin standards of care for transitioning , that is why many Dr.s can assign an intersexed child as they see fit, the medical community is only using part of his work( which i really hated) and ignoring some of his advice for those who identify as the opposite of there genetic sex. Also why an intersexed child who isnt happy with that assignment is suppose to receive or be able to change what was done, reassign as there chosen gender. <--- that believe it or not is also ones of Dr. Moneys beliefs. I had to reread several of his books too find that information. I read another persons post concerning Dr. Money in another support group forum were someone actually used his opinions to find there own acceptance as in intersexed person and for changing gender.

hope it helps.
