Yes, i'm new here, wish this was here years ago. The life I remember, when I was young people always stared. I was born with large breasts and a micro penis. In school the early years, the other kids didn't say too much and school plays they cast me in the women's part. My dad was never around, so my mom would take to the doctors for those special visits she called them. They peaked and proded to no avail. They would prescribe pills which never did any good and even shots I was to give myself every few days,all of which never worked. In high school it seemed to be worse, with lack of maturity, facial and body hair, I was treated differently. Remembering after PE,having to shower the remarks were sometimes unbearable. As years have passed by, there have not been too many relationships. I'm now in my 60's, life's had its highs and lows for the most part, I try not to let get me down.
I too have learned to be my own best friend.

Hiya Weezy1, just wanted to welcome you to the forum. I also wish this was here earlier. like 14 years ago. I really couldn't find any support sights when i first found out i was IS. Then again, i had an extremly hard time just finding anything at all for XY/XO mosaic karyotypes back then too. I really didnt start finding any usefull information untill around 97 or so. Support groups like this untill 2002. I kept alot of things in for many years, not really knowing what exactly i was. I knew about what my anatomy said i was, internally female, externally male, but thats mostly genitalia. It didnt really tell me anything about how i saw myself, you know "am i male, am i female"? it wasnt untill my late 20's, when i basically fell apart, constantly question what oneself is can become very debilitating. When counseling, psychologist started telling me i was Delusional, only made things alot worse for me. Anyways after many many years of questioning, i really just decided, that what i am is up to me. I really thought about what would make me happiest. I often consider my first half of life as being extremely cruel, and i am hoping for a much better last half of life.

I appreciate your sharing your short story. I hope you post again. I would like to hear more about your life. You have a great deal of life experience that i still havent aquired.

Best wishes
