Do I "Identify" as intersex? actually no, I spent most of my life being hacked and chopped by doctors and ended up female, so if I "Identify" as anything it would probably be female. Does my being intersex somehow legitimize my being female? well no. in legal terms in the UK it is more likely to have me legally defined as male than female. Thanks to Julienne Imperatio Mc Ginley's flawed and biased studies on the condition I have and the urban myth peddled by the likes of Jeoffrey Eugenides. Is intersex all about having both sets of genitalia and surgery? No the notion of both sets of genitalia as the media would have it is more an urban myth than fact there are conditions where this happens but not the way the media describe it.
