In my writings there are two common threads and they are as follows:

* I was surgically messed with as a child and I resent it.

* During my late childhood and early teens, I was sexually abused as a "novelty".

Now today, even though I have the physical form of a woman, complete with vagina, if I am raped I get no protection. As a child when I was abused I got no protection, because the law in the UK says that as I am an intersexed individual. I am not even allowed to ask for legal protection.
