No, I know the actually secure, transitioned-when-I-was-twelve, 100%-ettes, used-to-be-a-transsexual but-no-more types will scoff at this pathetic dream I have of verifiable Intersexuality (but remember, only whenever I need it). But you had the intelligence to be born just before an information revolution while I was popped out during the oblivious, inane 1950s. (another boomer going boo-hoo-hoo, woe is me) You won't understand why sometimes, when i get afraid that someone I care very much about, will caress me someplace that's still too 'male' and I move their hand away, and say, "sorry, you can't touch me there, see... deep down, I don't have the credentials."

I know I'm messed up... no explanation needed.

Hey, whatever you gotta tell yourself. Your chromosomes are XY, that is male.

Unless you have had a kareotype done, that is an assumption.  I do get tired of a world that is certain of what it cannot see.

Just so you know, those with Klinefelter Syndrome are considered male, not female.

In the case of these chromosomal configurations "male" and "female" are mearly constructs to sooth society.

I don't really see how your chromosones effect how valid a woman you are, it's not like anyone can see the things.

It's a medically established fact that some people born with male bodies have XX chomosomes and some people born with female bodies have XY chromosomes.  The only thing that suggests something is different is the men can't father boys and the women have a lot of miscarriages.

OK kitties, come on... deeeeeeeeep breaths... one... two... relaaaaaaax...

No more personal attacks, OK?

I know this is a difficult subject to talk about without feelings getting stepped on, but IMHO it's also very interesting and helpful, as we're seeing all KINDS of insecurities being exposed here... ones we all have to deal with at some point. At least I know I do.

I'd hate to see this get locked. It'd really be ashame, as I'm learning so much about myself and my fears from it. I bet others are too.

I believe most TS in their search to find out what is wrong, has explored the IS venue at one point or another either before or during transition. I may be wrong in that, but I know of several that have explored that route, including myself.

This topic is now locked.  I would advise everyone to re-visit the rules/terms of conditions that govern this site - Read and heed.

Lori is banned from posting for 2 days for personal attacks, Rachael is banned from posting for 1 day for responding to it, and continuing it. I am gonna get to the point where we start banning longer and longer for this type behavior people. I suggest following an old saying.

QuoteIf you can't say something good, don't say anything at all.

Remember attack the issue, never the person.
