Why Pictures????
I don't understand why people feel the need to post pictures of Intersex genitals! Honestly I think it is in very poor taste to show these pictures, especially when they are pictures of someone doing things to themself or having someone else do it. Having pictures of IS genitals seems to be putting us on display even more as FREAKS, and NOT to satisfy someone's curiosity or educate others. These pictures put the focus back on our genitals and not on us as individuals! I think that written or verbal explainations for education are wonderful, and if really needed for some reason, a drawing of atypical genitals are satisfactory, but real pictures of a person's genitals are just simply poor taste and sad that someone feels they need to show off what they've got.
My experience in educating others has been if they have seen pictures of adult IS genitals, they become more forceful in their questions and want to know specifically what I've got and how it all works, some have even asked to see for themselves!
I believe 100% in educating others about Intersex conditions, and more importantly, our culture, but I think that these kind of pictures are totally unnecessary!!
That's my 2 cents.
