A BOXER is planning his last fight as a man before he undergoes a sex change.

Rob Newbiggin, whose 20-year professional fight record includes three wins, one by knockout and 12 defeats, said he was born intersexual – meaning he cannot be classified male or female.

He claimed his adoptive dad talked him into boxing because it was masculine.

Shame she has to move from her support group the time she needs them the most.  Just goes to show though, you never know who you're real friends are until you've been through hardship.

I roommated with an individual who was born intersexed, I hope you are not
making light of those who have a very real condition. A condition just as real
as that of many of us here who have no "evidence to present", so to speak.



"I have always wanted to have a neighbor just like you,
I've always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you.

So let's make the most of this beautiful day,
Since we're together, we might as well say,
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
Won't you be my neighbor?" - Fred Rogers

Another claiming being intersex then?
Actually, if you look at the real stats, there is a lot more intersex people than what the medical community tells us. They hide a lot of it, or deny that it is an intersex condition by saying it is just an abnormality. The number of babies with "abnormalities" is actually quite high.
