So recently I found out I was intersex and my parents knew but never told me and I don't know how to let them know that I now know. My whole life I was always very feminine (even reconnected to my elementary teachers once I came out and they said being a girl would of suited me) I couldn't gain muscle, have no adams apple and small feet and hands. When I was 11, I was hospitalized for a week with abdominal pain. I was told it was gastritis and they made me take pills. I always tried to be hyper masculine when I was a teen but I was always smaller then everyone and had a hard time making friends. Fast forward to 18 i got a job in the oil patch and worked there for 11 years. I drank beer, watched football but always felt out of place. I never had a sex drive and always had moobs even though I wasn't overweight. In 2014 I decided to transition to female. In Dec 2015 I started HRT. Last July I started having abdominal pains again and had blood in my urine and stool. I thought I was sick but my MD being a specialist in sex and gender stuff did some tests and it turns out I have female parts inside. He looked into my history and found that the Dr's back then had told my parents but they decided they were going to tell me at a later date and never did.
       So I was wondering now that I know, does anyone have any advice on how to tell my parents that I know? I am completely out and living full-time (complete with new name and birth cert saying f) and my relationship with my parents is better then ever. We were never close before but after coming out things just clicked and now I talk to them daily. I'm worried if I tell them I know they might get mad or it might ruin what we now have because they accept me as their daughter. My parents are very conservative and things are going so well, to hear my dad call me by my new name makes me cry with happiness so much. Should I let them know what I have discovered? Or should I let it be and just be thankful for what I have?

P.S I thought I was rare for the condition that I have, but when my best friend told her mother about me she said her cousin had the same thing, but when he was 16 had surgery to remove the "female" parts.

Quite honestly I think this may be a conversation you should have with your mother alone, explain to her about your doctor visit and what they have discovered and ask if she is able to elaborate on it to help you understand.
