Wow

Sorry if it sounds a bit flippant but it sounds like you must have a really cool body. It seems like you can assume a male or a female look depending on how you're currently feeling.

I'm kind of jealous of that cos I've always worried that people think I look different to the way I pecieve myself... that I don't look very female when I'm wearing girly clothes but I don't look like a man when I'm wearing bloke clothes.

You can choose either rather than looking like neither. That could be the best of both worlds, at least superficially. I guess it's not as simple as that emotionally though. It must be really hard for those who have had surgery forced upon them.

It's funny you saying about being an intersexed lesbian because when I first found out I was CAIS I couldn't help feeling I must therefore be gay based on my genes. I guess it just goes to show that nothing is straight forward. You have to be true to yourself in the end but as long as you're not harming someone else and you're staying safe, why not stay as you are? Sounds like you're managing to have fun?

I'm sorry your parents don't seem to see it that way at the moment, I guess they're just worried about all the possible outcomes for your life. I'm sure they care though.... my Mum has said she feels to blame for my intersex condition, that she gave me the wrong genes. What can I say to that? I take that to mean that she feels ashamed of me... and guilty... like I'm broken and it was her that did it. Rather than I'm fine the way I am and she's pleased with me!! see what I mean?

Anyway, sorry, I haven't been of much assistance on the surgery front, sorry.
