Hello everyone, I just learned about this site a few days ago. I've spent the past few days going through the message board & think I've read most of them now. From what I've read here & on other forums I guess I'm one of the lucky ones since I didn't have "corrective" surgery inflicted on me.
I've "come out" to very few people about being intersexed, with mixed results. I think one of the worst responces was "So what are you then?"
But I've also had friends who were at least understanding, if not supportive. If nothing else they could appreciate how difficult it was for me to tell them about something I've kept hidden for so many years.
Like many of you, I grew up wondering what was wrong with me & why couldn't I have been like everyone else. It's been a long difficult road for me to come to accept being how I am.
I don't know what else to say now. I'm sure I'll think of more in the future.
Best wishes to all of you,
Andi
