Poll Are You A Man Or Woman?

[Anna]

I am female.

 

[Changing4Best]

I was born intersexed, both male and female. Doctors saw fit to sugically remove my masculinity and support my femininity. I was never able to carry a fetus past the first trimester of pregnancy, had seven miscarriages.

I read that the life history of a person such as me is not easy, and I agree. We tend not to wholely fit into any exact lifestyle or group. I was married for 23 years, my husband passed away, so I am alone now. I tend to think that is for the best, though I am sometimes lonely.

I have never met in person anyone born with my condition, though I have heard of others of course. I did try to join a Forum for folks like me, there are many I hear, but I could not relate with them either! LOL... I've always been kind of a loner, though I do tend to find one or two close friends here or there, and visit personally with them sometimes.

I am not really the homemaker kind of person, cooking and cleaning are foreign to me. Thus I make a lousy wife! My hubby, God rest his soul, was the best chef. We had five dogs, so there was no use in cleaning house very much, it didn't make a lot of difference!

I did not find out about this until rather recently. I am 58 and if I recall, it came to light when I was 57. I was in a state of shock and ended up in a mental institution, as you well might imagine. My parents took this secret to their graves, so my family did not believe me! They wanted proof. I was insulted, to say the least. So I just don't talk about it anymore. Not with them anyway!

A man by all outward appearances but a bunch of scared, angry, playful, mean, creative little boys running around on the inside taking turns making my life interesting. Easier posting in polls area here since no one will ever see them for months or years.

I am most emphatically male.
