They say do not fix what is not broken Yet they tried to fix me and they tried to fix you too They said they loved me Tears go down my face, how could this world disgrace? They said… Continue reading Poem: This world will not disgrace us.
Intersex Awareness Day, is October 26th, 2015, and this day marks one year since the Emancipation of my spirit. It marks the day I decide to escape the cultural entrapment and social expectations of living and appearing as female when I was never female. This day marks the day, my spirit was able to fully… Continue reading The Emancipation of my Spirit and my true Gender.
I know the title of this blog is drastic. I did it on purpose. There is no nice way to say it. I will not comply to this being called "corrective surgery", when a baby is not sick, and this destroys fertility and sexual pleasure later in life. But guess what, it happens daily in… Continue reading Cut IT off: A “Psychosocial Emergency!”
After forty-six years, I finally figured out that I was born in the right body! Since my life had been destroyed by this ideal regarding male and female, I have joked that I was born to the wrong planet at times though. I joked that the Mothership had left me here. Yes, my life was… Continue reading All Intersex Bodies are Beautiful, and I do not need fixed to fit your ‘normal’.
Since I have chosen to live as my true self, I have been having deep thoughts about this male/female binary. Being born an intersex person in the late 60's, and even if I had been born now, there is no option to raise me gender neutral, androgynous, gender non-conforming, or non binary gender. Even transgender children, and… Continue reading Mx. Anunnaki Ray and They, Them, Their, He, Him, His….
For fun, I compare myself to a seahorse dad. For it is the seahorse dads who give birth. Yes, I am a gestational father, a term I got from my intersex friend. I am an intersex person, who identifies as being a man and gender nonconforming because my body is not male. My body… Continue reading I am a SEAHORSE Dad
As an intersex survivor, it is my commitment to join other intersex or social activist, in helping to show this world that little intersex children should not be harmed any more. I am now dedicated to do this with Judi Herring, M.D., and with the new friendships, mentorship and wisdom of several intersex activists who… Continue reading I am an Emerging Gender/Intersex Activist
It is important that I share with you something I see many having confusion around when referring to a person born with intersex traits. My body was born with physical traits of both male and female. There are many different ways this can happen in a person, but to keep things simple, for me it… Continue reading I was born with an Intersex body, but this does not create my Gender or my Sexual Orientation.
There are too many dying, and committing suicide who are gender non-conforming or transgender. I was almost one of them. Being born with intersex traits, for me, does not separate me, or protect me, from the ugly prejudice and misconceptions the world has about us gender non-conforming and transgender people. I speak for myself, but… Continue reading Too many Dying: I was Almost One of them.
I believe that people with intersex traits are a natural occurring variance in nature. Very few conditions of intersex cause disease and need medical attention. Being born with intersex traits is truly no different than being born with red hair, or green eyes. It is simply unique and rare. Abnormal is used in describing a… Continue reading My Body is Not Abnormal. Please Don’t Call Me Broken.
