Tatyana, I read your post previous to this, a complex situation, but still an amazing revelation. Knowing you are a girl, now you know what is physically driving that. You have excellent advice here. The choice is yours. To be almost as natural woman as possible, Wow! You have to be jumping up and down for joy! Looks like insurance can cover. Your Mom is wonderful! I am giddy Happy for you & going to start jumping after is finish typing this. As someone noted you have what probably most girls here would like, now I have misty eyes.

All the best.
Hugs
Jamie

Thank you and yes I have never been so happy.  The best news I could have hoped for.  I feel very blessed and I'm so exited about the real possibility of being a normal girl or at least very close.

Tatyana,

I'm curious, maybe you've answered this elsewhere, and I hope it's not too personal.  If so, just ignore me.

Have you ever had a karyotype done?  I'd love to know what it is.  a karyotype describes your DNA.  Of greatest interest are the gender chromosomes.

Hugs

No I've never had one of those.  In fact I had never heard of that until I started reading in these forums.  But that is definately in my future as I have an appointment with a geneticist as a part of all this.  But it's several weeks off.

your doctor really should have been a little kinder to you and should not have made assumptions about you. But irrespect of that, with a complete investigation of you, they should prove yoru intersex, and genital surgery should be covered by insurance. You were right about your natural inclination that your not male. Would you ever have guessed about your results. I am surprised that they did not notice this in childhood. My pediatrician almost always did an exam every other time to check the genitals.

Yes it's official I am now classified as intersexed and it's now in my medical record.  My mom has been talking to my insurance and it looks like I'm covered but for exactly what we don't know yet.  It's kind of a grey area.  My parents did notice that I was different but they are really laid back people so they just accepted it and didn't worry about it.  They are really sweet but perhaps a little irresponsible.

Consider yourself very fortunate! I had a friend who tried to pass herself off as a post-op MtF up until we went hot tubbing together. She claimed that Toby Meltzer had done her SRS. I called her on it and she broke down in tears, because her genitalia was definitely neither male nor was it anything like Toby Meltzer or anybody else's work. She was from a broken home and had been on her own since childhood, there was no-one to help her and she suffered indignities from every quarter. Finally she was able to get SRS as a corrective surgery and move on with her life.

Your parents may have just glossed over it not wishing to create any unnecessary angst for you, be thankful for loving parents though, I would hate to see anyone suffer like that poor girl did.

There is nothing more important than your loving, supportive parents!!! Cherish them and be happy you know who you are and that they're more than OK with who you are! ♥♥

I agree.  I'm very fortunate to have my parents.  They are the best parents I could have hoped for.
