Parents should better not trust their doctor?

I was shocked, when I saw this video.

shocked on what level!


i think the biggest point of that video is that the parents said they are going to tell everyone that he is a boy

and i think thats a big mistake


plus there are some features that are remarkably definetly female looks and male looks and she actualy looks more female in many ways

but as an intersex myself...i would definetely say that patrick is intersex
and so we need to add the name patrick to the list of unisex names

fucking doctors that are like that...can be found in nearly every hospital in any country
my mother had similar stories to tell
and maybe when my video editing gets better ...then we will do one of our own stories

Shocked in two ways, that adults just say, that Patrick is a boy*. What makes them so sure? The other shock, that these doctors don't listen. They have their model ... and that's it!

I had to be a boy too ... and after so many years, I know that I am not a boy, not a girl, but just what God has made of me: an intersexual person.

And not a DSD!!!!!

I finally dragged my laptop into the office so I could watch this clip - I am sorry I did. It makes me so incredibly sad How ANYONE could think they have any right, in any form, to any degree, to alter someone else's body without that person's permission absolutely defies any concept of "civilized". I think that doctor should be castrated - THAT would be justice! And I'll offer to do it!

I viewed the video and was very saddened by it. I wish the best for Patrick and Patrick's parents in their ongoing legal battle over infant genital feminizing surgery performed on their child without parental consent. The apparent level of medical dishonesty involved is shocking, but not really that surprising.

Was wondering what is the % that actually turns cancerous?

No, this doesn't surprise or shock me but brings me back to a not to long ago conversation that I had with my ped Endo that when I the person that own the body that who be me mentioned that gee it would of do wonders for my mental health if you hadn't made me service medical residents and also would of be tops if you would of allow me input on my own body as to when or if any surgery was to be done The ped endo a realy nice guy in the end actually even though he tried to do the it's my experience that You would of had infection ...I went Oh you based a clitorectomy on someone that might of happen ? with that he burts into tears and stated you hate me and No I didn't but would of be better to be left alone. After he knew that he couldn't BullShit me He issued a formal apology of everything they did at the best medical center in the Midwest. I could die tommorow as what they did ruined me but things there are changing a little.

Maybe, what happen in the video will change things for the better just a little.

I also had a talk with the surgeon that did the genital surgery and he really thought it was in my best interest ...how I was born was really a societal emergency but I would disagree. My genitals worked for me and my mind was wired for those genitals ....yep they endo/surgeon were fixing what the fucked up adrenal gland AKA did but the rush in way it was done ruined me.


I hope this kid in this video has it better and I hope that surgeon finds some understanding.
I don't know what condition this kid has but before putting a gender on anyone that is born with any condition .....they should ask what that person feels about it.

Any given day lines are so drawn by gender ...nobody calls me intersex but they do use the word miss, lady, woman and everything else that goes with the female gender.

I think that this surgeon should be made to pay for this kids testosterone pills the rest of his life and hand deliver it to the kid besides whatever settlement
they get.

Doctors do whatever they want to us..... and now the kids Parents know this too. Sliced up to fit into this world.


A game : Count how many times during a day gender is used.
