You don't have to apologise to me

spoilerI think I was treated when really young. I never had hormone treatment, as far as my parents go, I don't know if they were aware of any of that. It's often done without the parents knowledge. I was treated as a cis male growing up and still had enough testosterone to have some facial hair (but not much) and other things of that nature, but I also developed breasts and wider hips than a typical cis male.

Linky if you dig about you should be able to find some more information, including some on the planned parenthood site, I thought I had some more links but can't find them.

CW some abuse talk

spoilerI suffered abuse for behaving different to my assigned gender.. they had no idea I was trans but because I wasn't acting like a boy I was smacked or beat or worse.. that's as plainly as I can put it.

I will continue to apologize until I stop doing things I need to apologize for sicko-wistful one day

It's often done without the parents knowledge.

That is... bizarre to me. Like... how. On every level that is just very odd to me. I don't understand how doctors would actually be able to do the surgery, how your parents would never have known. And that's common... poor intersex kids/people oh my god. I can't imagine trying to navigate that, especially as a child.

And then obviously how could parents be so cruel, and how could you have to be treated/suffer that way.

Thank you for answering my questions. I will try to learn more about intersex people. I am glad you are in a better situation now.

Because many don't know much about intersex people in general so don't worry I don't mind answering some questions

I edited my last post to provide a link to a basic rundown, I had found a good blog a few years ago but lost it in moving to a new laptop but if I do find it at some stage I'll send you the link

I don't even know much about trans people kitty-cri death to society for not educating me better. But I'm glad you understand.

Thank you! I will I have a look at that link, and yes if you ever remember I'd appreciate it.
