Poem: Over 50% would have died.

Over 50% would have died.

I just survived what most would not have.

No I do not like this world.

It is a cruel and cold place for intersex people and transgender people.

Most would not have switched their gender to save their lives.

I can’t respect that.

I just survived what most wouldn’t have.

I sit here envying that death would have been easier for you.

I sit here wondering why I chose to survive this hell.

Most would not have switched their gender.

I can’t respect that.

I just survived what most wouldn’t have.

I sit here wondering if death would have been easier.

I sit here wondering why this Earth is so fucked up!

Why is it that over 50% would chose death, over saving their life like I did?

I am supposed to learn this and just sit here and do nothing.

I can’t respect that.

No, I will not sit here and do nothing!

Why is that?

Why I wrote this poem:

This poem was written in response to finding out that over 50% of my friends and family would have died, like I would have if I had done nothing. Yes, over 50% would have died, over saving themselves, like I did. They would have refused to change their gender and how they appear to this world. Please note that Sex and Gender are not the same thing. When I refer to gender I refer to how we identify as male, female, both or neither. When I refer to gender I am also talking about how this world perceives by our gender expression (how we dress or appear as to other).

To me gender is like our personality. Sex has to do with genitals, reproductive systems, hormones and chromosomes. Some people are born dyadic (typical bodies), and some people are born intersex. Both dyadic and intersex people can have any gender. I believe that the two do not, and will never be the same definition. I believe that the self-determination of gender is a human right.

This meme was not created so much for me, since I am OUT publicly. I created it mostly for those who deserve to live stealth lives and not be outed. They did not ask for it like i did, and to be “OUT” is not always safe.
Now that I am a public figure, and like many intersex or transgender activist, or advocates, I have shared with the world in order to change this world! I have shared things about myself that most could never imagine sharing about themselves.
Please, if you know me, it is your responsibility to make sure I remain safe. Since my story is out there, don’t gossip about me! Instead, Educate, educate, educate! It is only by changing culture that we make this world safe for all the babies born intersex or transgender. I strongly suggest you use resources from United Nations’ Free & Equal Campaign to accurately advocate for your LGBTQIA+ friends. The United Nations’ offers many sheets you can print and hand out.

Last, and most important, there are countless others, who are not “OUT”, and should not have their lives destroyed by rumors, gossip, or people sharing about who they are without their permission. They are not activist, or advocates, and they deserve their privacy and safety. So if you are privileged to know an intersex or transgender person, please protect their right to dignity, privacy and safety. One simple rule of thumb: Always ask the person before sharing.
Here is the intersex and LGBT Fact sheets created by the United Nations. These two sheets are an excellent resource to print and share around. Here they are below in the links provided.

Intersex VS Intergender. Do Intersex Transexuals Exist?

January 21, 2017June 25, 2017 Mx. Anunnaki Ray4 Comments

What is Intersex?

Intersex is general term used for natural bodily variations in which a person is born with a reproductive or sexual anatomy that doesn’t seem to fit the typical definitions of female or male. Some forms of intersex also naturally occurs after birth and later in life, however these are all naturally occurring bodily variations. In humans, it is a variation in sex characteristics, including chromosomes, hormones, gonads, or genitals that do not allow an individual to be distinctly identified as male or female.

Just like anyone else, an intersex person can have any gender, sexual orientation, or gender expression. The “rules” of the heteronormative binary, male and female, often do not work for intersex people. Since intersex is a way to describe a person’s biological sex, it should not be confused as gender identity , or with transgender gender identity issues.

Dyadic: A word used to describe someone who is not born intersex. Dyadic people are born with sex characteristics which could be categorized them either as typical female or typical male. Dyadic people can have any gender identity, sexual orientation, or gender expression.

Note: In the past, and in some countries, the term “hermaphrodite” is used to describe people born intersex. Depending on the country or the person, this can be considered offensive. Always ask to make sure it is ok to use the word hermaphrodite. Please always ask if it is ok to say in your country. Some accept it, and some do not now.

To learn about some of the worse human rights violations known to this planet, please visit the United Nations Intersex Fact Sheet PDF.

What is Intergender?

Intergender is a gender identity that is considered a non binary term. Some feel it fits under the transgender umbrella terms. Intergender people have a gender identity that is in the middle between the binary genders of female and male, or lies on that spectrum between the binary genders of female and male. Some inter gender people may be a mix of both.

Note: The word “intergender” has been independently coined by different people at different times, resulting in two main differences in meaning:

1. Some believe that this term, intergender, is an identity label that any person can use. Even if they are not intersex (dyadic) themselves, they can declare themselves intergender.

2. Others believe that “intergender” can only be used by people who are intersex, and that intergender is an identity only for intersex people. Some believe that intersex people need words for their gender identities that correlate only with intersex bodies. These people feel that in this case, dyadic nonbinary people should respect intersex people, by taking up a different non-binary label than intergender for themselves. It might be more respectful if they used androgyne, bigender, gender fluid or queer to describe themselves instead.

I personally believe that the Self-Determination of gender is the right of any person. I believe any person has the right to declare themselves “intergender”. However, only a naturally born intersex person, should declare themselves born “intersex”.

The Gender expression of an Intergender person:

Some intergender people see it as solely a matter of gender identity, and therefore do not feel they have to dress in a particular kind of gender expression. They may even be satisfied with an appearance that fits within the gender binary, and conform to societies expectations of how a typical female and typical male dresses; even though their gender identity does not conform to binary notions. However, other intergender people will dress androgynous and have a gender expression that is a mixture of both typical male and female. They may or may not, express their intergender identity through their personality or activities such as crossdressing or “interdressing”. They may or may not the intentions of being seen as any particular gender.

The Assignment of Sex VS The Assignment of Gender

Sex Assignment is done surgically and with the use of hormones, and requires a physician and surgeon. Gender assignment is declaring one’s gender identity, and is a feeling within oneself. Much like their personality, and does not require surgery or hormones to declare.

Note: Some people legally change their gender now, depending on the laws of their government, and do not ever feel they have to undergo sex assignment surgeries.

Intersex Transexual do exist, however they were born Dyadic NOT Intersex.

Transitioning to appearing “Intersex”

Some non binary people, who were born dyadic, have described their transition as one that will make their body more “intersex”, and call themselves female-to-intersex or male-to-intersex transsexuals. Through surgical assignment, or with the aid of hormones, some intergender, or non binary people wish to transition to a body that has traits in between female and male, or wish it to be more like a naturally born intersex body. These dyadic people may call themselves female to intersex, or male to intersex transsexuals, or female to intersex, or male to intersex transgender.

This type of person starts out as a dyadic person. They were NOT born biologically as intersex. They had surgical or hormonal interventions to create “intersex” with the help of a surgeon or physician. They often do these surgeries, so that their bodies can match their mind. This type of person, I feel, does not have the right to claim they were born intersex. They are simply a transexual, or transgender person, who has transitioned to appearing intersex.

The difference between transgender and intersex and the harm that wrong language can bring

January 11, 2017June 4, 2017 Mx. Anunnaki Ray4 Comments

MX. ANUNNAKI RAY, GENDER/INTERSEX ACTIVIST: EDUCATOR, WRITER & SPEAKER·WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 11, 2017
My thoughts for the day:

Language is very important, and language can do harm. Here is one example to why:

The biggest priority most intersex activist/advocates/educators have, like myself, is decreasing genital mutilation in babies born with intersex traits and decreasing our bodies being aborted when detected before birth.

This means “Born in the wrong body” transgender theories, can do us harm. This is one example of why I educate.

An intersex advocates message is: “No body is shameful” and “born perfect”. Instead of saying disorder, the United Nations wants us to say: NATURAL BODILY VARIATIONS. I like to say we are born a “variety of human”. I urge anyone who is wanting to speak up for intersex rights to please read and memorize these two pages given by the UNTIED NATIONS: INTERSEX FACT SHEET

Also, Although some intersex born people may accept the word “hermaphrodite”, that word too, can bring stigma, and shame, due to it being connected to a medical history of misinformed doctors who justified fixing our bodies due to some of us being labeled “pseudo hermaphrodite”. Always ask before using this word. It is always safest to say: “Intersex Person”.
The words we use to stop genital mutilation and abortions from happening are a vastly different from how most transgender people are being taught, or may feel about themselves and their, bodies and their genitals. Most psychiatrists, councilors and doctors are teaching “born in the wrong body” theories and that transgender people need to “transition” through hormone manipulations and surgery to correct their “body dysphoria”. Although some transgender people truly have body dysphoria, and benefit from treatment, some do not. The same truth holds true for intersex people. Everyone’s experience is unique to their own and generalizations are never a good idea.

Here lies the problem, the medical and psychiatric communities are teaching these theories even to the parents of intersex babies, and children. Even us adults, who discover later in life that we were born intersex are being taught these theories. The harm is horrendous. The set back in our movement is great.

Here lies the biggest difference between transgender and intersex. It is a mountain of misinformation, we are up against, when it comes to saving bodies, and lives, so that we can simply be born with “NATURAL BODILY VARIATIONS” and co-exists our true gender in this world.

An intersex person can have any gender identity, and according to the social construct of gender, it is not always going to “agree” with our genitals. So this means the self-determination of our gender has to be our choice. This choice needs to be a fully informed choice, and should be given to any child born intersex. Here are some examples of the different gender identities an intersex person can have: Gender Identity.

Thank you, Mx. Anunnaki Ray

To learn more, here is an excellent link regarding the “Basic Differences between Transgender and Intersex“, shared from Oii Australia.

An added note: Some, but not all transgender people elect to have Sex Reassignment Surgeries (SRS) or Gender Confirmation Surgeries. This can involve just doing “top surgery”, which involves masculinizing or feminizing one’s chest; or the more involved “bottom surgeries”, that help the person to align with their genitals to the expectations of the male/female binary. Also, some intersex people, but not all, can also identify as transgender and intersex both. It is up to the person how they describe themselves, and not up to others.

Sad to say, these types of surgeries are also performed on infants and children, born intersex, and is often called “corrective surgery”. As you now understand, self-determination is a human right, to what surgery a person may or may not want. The United Nations says that cosmetic genital surgeries, and corrective surgeries, need to stop in non-consensual infants and children.

My thoughts about the Third Gender Box, Gender Neutral or Gender X

December 26, 2016October 20, 2017 Mx. Anunnaki RayLeave a comment

I was born with intersex variations, here is my autobiography. My body does not comply with the rules that would put me into either the biological male box or the biological female box. So at my birth, and during my life, and up until the emancipation of my true gender, I was forced, mostly by social expectations, to conform to the female box when that was not my true gender.

As you know, at our birth they can mark either the Male box, Female box. For many of us, our true biological sex cannot be marked on most forms. Some believe we need a third box, gender-neutral, or gender X box, for those of us born intersex, gender variant, non-conforming gender, non-binary gender, or transgender.

When I started to think about this option of a third gender box, I realize that it is not as simple as adding a third box or gender X option on our birth certificates. In reality, there are some really good reasons to do this for consenting adults, and some possible really bad consequences to doing this with infants and children. Below I write about the Pros and Cons, the way I see it, and a rather radical solution is given at the end of this blog.

Before I go into the option of a third gender box though, and how I feel about this, I need to first educate you about what intersex means, since few understand about us. The below was taken from the United Nations’s Fact Sheet on Intersex:

What does ‘intersex’ mean?

Intersex people are born with sex characteristics (including genitals, gonads and chromosome patterns) that do not fit typical binary notions of male or female bodies.

Intersex is an umbrella term used to describe a wide range of natural bodily variations. In some cases, intersex traits are visible at birth while in others, they are not apparent until puberty. Some chromosomal intersex variations may not be physically apparent at all.

According to experts, between 0.05% and 1.7% of the population is born with intersex traits – the upper estimate is similar to the number of red-haired people.

Being intersex relates to biological sex characteristics, and is distinct from a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity. An intersex person may be straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual or asexual, and may identify as female, male, both or neither.

Because their bodies are seen as different, intersex children and adults are often stigmatized and subjected to multiple human rights violations, including violations of their rights to health and physical integrity, to be free from torture and ill-treatment, and to equality and non- discrimination.

To read more from the United Nations please go HERE

Now that you understand what it means to be born intersex I will share my thoughts.

Seven Possible Negative Consequences if our Government offers third gender, gender X, gender neutral, option:

Some intersex people are happy with their birth assignment being either male or female, and would not want it any other way. Simply due to one thing, prejudice. If they had been thrown into a third box at birth, they would then be obvious intersex sexual minorities.
If intersex infants were marked the third gender box at birth or the gender X box, we would not be able to live stealth later in life (not known to the public). Anywhere where we have to prove our gender or show our birth certificate, everyone would instantly know we are an intersex sexual minority. The consequences in a society that has much prejudice around this could be dreadful, especially in a world that offers few laws to protect LGBTQIA+ people.
If assigned at birth the third box or gender X, once again the self-determination of gender taken away. It is no different than experts deciding for us, male or female.
If an intersex infant is put into the third box at birth, it could be more of a stigma for the parents of the intersex child, that could lead to the very surgeries many of us intersex advocates and activists are trying to stop. Surgeries that could be justified in order to get their child out of this third box. Once again, taking away the self-determination of gender for the child. Note: I have spoken to other intersex advocates and activist, in countries that provide a third box or gender X box. They have all voiced concern around cosmetic genital surgeries showing an increase. Note: Surgeries that can take away sensation, fertility, and sexual pleasure later in life. Not to mention, that the wrong gender may be assigned.
Right now, if they detect some forms of intersex in-utero, through testing, a genetic specialist can suggest aborting that intersex fetus. Even though the United Nations states that we born with human bodily variations, most doctors still call us a “disorder”, “syndrome” and “condition”. If parents had to worry about their child being an obvious minority with a third gender box or Gender X box, this might increase the eugenics and genocide of intersex humans through abortion.
It also seems that a third gender box continues this patriarchal and misogynist views of the world. Where even typical females are seen as the “weaker sex”. A third box, or “gender X” person would definitely be faced with similar prejudice, if not worse! A third box could simply continue cultural dysphoria around intersex bodies unless our society was able to accept human bodily variations better.
Last, the suicide rate is already high for all sexual minorities, it could go higher if we were marginalized and prejudiced against even more with a third box, or gender X box. Especially if we do not want this option.

My thoughts about how this could effectTransgender People:

If transgender people were forced to mark the third gender box or gender X box, this would take away their right to self-determination of gender. Some transgender are simply either male or female. Just because they were assigned wrong at birth should not take away their validity as a person who might identify binary male or female.
However, some transgender people identify as gender non-conforming, non-binary, gender queer, both male or female, or neither. So as adults, having this option of third gender, gender neutral, or gender X, could be very validating and confirming of their existence and greatly welcomed.

Two Possible Solutions that could work for everyone:

I feel it is a Human and Civil Rights solution to Give all people, of adult consenting age, the choice to pick a third box, or gender X option. After all, at eighteen a person can legally change their gender to the opposite of their birth assignment if they are transgender. This also is allowed to happen when us intersex people are assigned the wrong gender at birth. It only stands to reason a person should be granted a third gender option or gender X if they feel they are both male or female, or neither.
Here is a radical solution: Get rid of all gender assignment at birth and offer the self-determination of gender for every human being on the planet. Along with a few out here, I believe that at our birth no one should be assigned gender. Yes, this is a radical solution to some. However, when one believes that the self-determination of gender is a human right, it stands to reason that this should become an obvious solution.

In closing, I realize that the second solution is rather a radical one. However, I believe that the self-determination of gender is a human right. No matter what genitals we are born with I believe this to be true. I believe that our genital integrity is a human right too, and those cosmetic surgeries should stop in infants and children. I also believe that transgender children should never be told that they are in the wrong body nor made to believe that they need genital surgery to conform.

I will never feel that our reproductive system, genitals, hormones, and chromosomes determine our gender, and simply never will.

So, I end this blog with a question to you: Is time to Get rid of all the gender boxes?

About my collaboration with Judi Herring, M.D., who believes it is time to “(un)know gender”:

I’m a Gender/Intersex Activist, who works collaboratively with Judi Herring, MD. Our collaboration grew organically through a series of interactions, among which, Dr. Herring’s 2014 TEDx Jacksonville talk, Gender Bound: Lessons from the world between, was key. I have included the link to that, fourteen minute, TEDx below for your viewing.

In the talk, Dr. Herring delivered a message, which resonates with me, “It is time to (un)know gender.”:

“There is no question. The time is now.”

Judi Herring, M.D.

“It is time to stop cutting the genitals of infants and children just so that we can bind them into M-F boxes.

It is time to stop cutting the freedom of people, by applying labels, nonsense words – homosexual, bisexual, intersex, intersexual, transsexual, transgender – groin-focused words that bind us into in-groups and out-groups, entrenched in a state of perpetual dispute; destructive words that keep us bound, all of humanity bound in the realm of UVT – Us versus Them.

It is time that we unbind ourselves from thousands of years of certainties that place our reproductive parts, our reproductive potential at the center of who we are and how we relate.

It is time to raise our gaze from between the legs, so we can see. So we can see that it is our mind that is at the center of who we are and how we relate.

In my journey from one cell to sentience, through some magic of biology, through the wonders and the miracles of nature, my mind was embodied. I stand before you the embodiment of a mind. You are the embodiment of a mind. We are embodied minds, not bodies that happen to have minds attached to them so we can function and move and reproduce.

It is time to transcend our physical boundaries, to come together across these physical differences that divide us.

It’s time to unknow gender.”

Today is: “Gender Correct Day”

November 29, 2016November 29, 2016 Mx. Anunnaki Ray3 Comments

14462855_10210569250892948_307559009698152570_n

I have a dear lady friend. Her name is Synthia Roy, and she lives in my city. She now lives her authentic gender, after being assigned male at birth. Her insight about what is happening around the definition of transgender, in our city, has truly concerned me. I would like to talk about two issues. Those who are jumping into transition without care, too fast, and those who are calling themselves “transgender” when we both personally feel they are not.

She feels that being “transgender” is in style now. She calls some of the kids (teens and young adults) who think they are trans “Trans Hipsters”.

FIRST

First of all, Synthia sees that the message of transgender is being changed into something she feels it is not. To her transgender means to go from one thing to another. A complete transition from one gender to another. As in a complete transition from male to female (MTF), or a transition from female to male (FTM).

However, she now sees teens and young adults not truly realizing the seriousness of this; and like a McDonald’s Happy Meal, doing everything super fast. We see people going in for HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy), and having surgeries, that they may or may not later regret. This is a “fast food” world, after all. She sees many “transitions” ending with the person stuck in the middle; and not truly a transition from one gender to the other at all. She sadly has witnessed such “trans hipsters” de-transitioning back into their birth assigned gender; after reality hits. That reality being that they are now a hated sexual minority; with the loss of work, family, friends and all the other sad things that happen. When the seriousness of what it truly means to be transgender comes to light, most of these “trans hipsters” bail out. A truly transgender person could never bail out of owning their authentic gender.

SECOND

Second, we both feel that if somebody is gender non-conforming, non-binary, or gender queer, that is fine. Just don’t call it transgender. We feel there is absolutely nothing wrong with non-conforming, non-binary, or gender queer. However, don’t take on the label of transgender. After all there is no transition from MTF or FTM. I might also educate, as for being intersex, a person can not become intersex or transition to being intersex. There is no such thing as transitioning to intersex.

CONCLUSION

Being that I was born intersex, and having to do things hormonally to appear female and now male; I could relate to being transgender in many ways. However, never felt truly comfortable saying I was transgender due to never having a complete transition. I now see this problem in our city and in our country. For my friend Synthia Roy and me, it has created an atmosphere where one doesn’t want to say they are “transgender” anymore. Like me, Synthia also feels she reclaimed her true gender as well.

So in conclusion to this problem, she said, from this day forward instead of saying that she is “Transgender”, now that transgender has turned into something else, she is going to say she is “GENDER CORRECT“. I personally love it! I too appreciate being able to say I am “gender correct” now, after living my wrong gender most my life.

So, as of today, November 29th, 2016; Synthia Roy and I hereby declare this day:

“GENDER CORRECT DAY!”

A Male/Female Mosaic Brain Proves We Need the Self-Determination of Gender

September 15, 2016September 19, 2016 Mx. Anunnaki Ray1 Comment

People have tried to create the myth that the brain is either male or female. However, the science around this is very skewed, biased, and is always proven to be not good science at all. I can see why transgender people, and their doctors, psychiatrists, psychologist, would be eager to want to prove the existence of a male or female brain. Especially since our world has been told that the genitals of a transgender person supposedly do not match their gender, and that the genitals of some intersex people are supposedly ambiguous and disordered. Despite all this, I now realize there might be a better rationale to giving all humans the freedom of picking their own gender.

Recently MRI studies have proven that there are no significant differences between the “male brain” and the “female brain”. They have proven that the brain is such a mixture, that they can’t tell if the brain is either male or female. So some say that the brain is a MOSAIC of both male and female. You can read references below. However, I will note, how does anyone know what male and female brain is in the first place. That in itself is an assumption based on the social creation of gender.

Regardless, this is proving, what many, including myself, have said all along. That Gender is a social construct, and that sex is a social construct. Let me clarify for those who get gender and sex confused. Gender is our personality and how we determine ourselves to be male, female or neither. Sex, has to do with our reproductive system, genitals, hormones and chromosomes. Both gender and sex have been created by cultural expectations, and thus the “myth” of the male/female binary was created.

It is time to stop Diagnosing those who do not obey this gender and sex social construct:

From this male/female binary myth, came two diagnosis. One being: “gender dysphoria”. A diagnosis often given to people labeled transgender. It is when they do not obey psychologically, and are told that their genitals do not “match” their gender. The second being: “disorder of sexual development”. When our bodies are born intersex, and in-between, and not conforming to this myth of male and female. Both transgender and intersex people are being told they need to have their bodies “corrected” to “match” this male/female social construct of gender and sex.

If the brain has now been proven to be a mosaic of both male and female, telling those of us born transgender or intersex that are bodies are wrong, simply has to stop now.

This gives a new valid argument to ending all genital corrective surgeries on those of us born intersex. As well as giving new freedom to those who are labeled transgender, or say they are gender non-conforming. Sex assignment surgeries will no longer be so necessary to validate our true gender, by our world’s governments.

The Male/Female Binary Myth can Come to an End Now.

It is my hope that the male/female binary myth, and the harm it has caused so many people will finally end now. Now that we know the brain is a Mosaic of both male and female, this argues that the self-determination of our own personal gender has to become a human right.

As human beings, may we all be given the right to pick our own gender. No one should be assigned at birth based on our genitals. We should all get that chance in life to determine what what we will; be it male, female or neither. How we act, dress, appear as, whom we become, and what surgeries or hormones we may or may not want, should now be up to our own Self-Determination.

Bottom line, like I have said all along:

Gender is a personal thing and how one feels internally about themselves. Gender is not determined by our genitals, reproductive system, hormones or chromosomes.

The Self-Determination of Gender is a Human Right.

————————————————————————–

After I wrote this blog, above, I had some very deep thoughts, and would like to share them here: If biological sex is a social construct, and gender is a social construct, according to MRI science. Then in reality a brain can’t be both “female” and “male”, nor a “mosaic” of both. It is simply a human brain. And if it is simply a human brain, then why are we not all receiving the right to assign our own gender? I know it is due to the social construct of biological sex claiming that genitals create male and female. My question is not about that; it is about science proving, that the self-determination, is truly a human right. Now to make the “gender experts” at our birth realize this. Between intersex and transgender, that’s a lot of people being mis-gendered at birth!
