    I'm a bisexual male. My last GF was interesex. She was raised as a boy, transitioned in her teens. We broke up but remain good friends. She has a profile on an online dating site and a friend of mine found it. On the profile she singles out that she's supportive of "queer/transgender" rights. She also mentions equal rights as a whole, but the transgender issue is the subject of an entirely separate paragraph. My friend asked me if she was trans, and i told him that she was born intersexed. He really had no reaction to this news.

    I let her know that I said this and she flipped out. She said that I had violated her privacy. Did I?
