Separating sex from gender

[Nygeel]

Ah I see. For me, I am always aware that I don't have a penis and I do have a hole. It's a little disorienting at times. Is that normal?

I guess it might be normal since I don't know too many folks who relate to their bodies in the way I do.

Ok. Thank you very much for your responses.

Thanks for agreeing about gender as separate from the social fads. It makes me feel less like I'm banging my head against a wall. On that subject, I talked to my gender therapist today and he said, "Would it be enough to be a tomboy or a butch lesbian?"    Uh NO!

Ok, so that's dysphoria. That definitely clears some stuff up. Thank you very much! (And no, that wasn't dismissive. It was exactly what I wanted to know. All this stuff is new to me, so I'm sorry for floundering.)

Anthropos, the idea of being intersex makes me feel really happy, but I thought it was impossible for intersex people to reproduce? Because I have.

You may be case of mosaicism, which is sort of intersex, but some people with mosaicism are fertile

Ooh interesting! I will look that up. Thanks!

It is normal.

FWIW, I am aware of a penis and a hole. That's just my experience.
