I’m intersex and I wish doctors left my body alone

[@shareathought769]

Intersex does need to be taught about in more detail in biology class.

[@theshermer]

@NegasConquerorOfKZbinintersex is real and does happen. What should not happen is how intersex is treated. They are human beings and their feelings should be taken into account in the treatment. And yes this should be taught that this does happen. Thank you for sharing your story. ❤

@aidentherulerCABT oh so what am i, a ghost?

[@moviezone10]

@aidentherulerCABT well do u know what I had to go through, imagine thinking u were a normal male kid and then puberty hit and everything went wrong, started growing boobs and having periods and yet people say my condition is a lie and we are freaks, do u know how that feels

[@noone.3532]

I feel the thing about the loss of what made you unique, that loss of control. it's the worst aspect of it imo. You guys have cheered me up today thanks.

[@lifesanadventure-mybestlife]

I'm intersexed and can completely understand and relate. Mine is a long difficult story. But it's a scary lonely path of life.

[@sportcoatjoditv7148]

Stay strong, your not alone 🙏🏾!!

[@melissahirst3078]

I'm there with ya, but for me they said I was a boy... it was hidden from me. I knew inside but when I finally was told it was like movie flashes of my entire life. The world perceives me as Transgender and I see how people are treated, I now want to help everyone be true to themselves regardless of trans, intersex, any other ostracized status. Keep rocking you are a badass❤❤

congenital adrenal hyperplasia?

[@abracadabra112]

Bless you💜 that is very unfair. You are beautiful inside and out!

[@mishakailana]

Thank you for sharing your story Mikayla. I agree with your comments on doctors not listening to our experiences and explaining our conditions, treatment options etc. bodily autonomy does not exist regardless of our age. thanks again for sharing and helping others learn from your thoughts. i've a different condition, did alot of sharing a decade ago. i'm not active these days on youtube but i am definitely much happier at 52 years of age then when i was in my 20s and 30s. i almost feeel like a productive adult and do wish you the best. thinking it takes time sometimes to rediscover ourselves and find our happiness after any sort of trauma. i think that goes for everyone. be well, be kind be happy.

Doing important work on sharing this from a Aotearoa perspective

[@rodpolintan6533]

Conservatives would never try to learn more about this kinda stuff. The ignorance today 5/26/23 is too much

[@marlonbrando33]

Lies

8/25/23...It's about time this is shared. Thank you. 🙏🏼❤✌🏼

[@Lynthari]

Sharing this across everything.

[@josephinealchin1851]

Androgen insensitivity syndrome.

That’s “what we’re told” - can’t say I would blindly swallow that as pure facts. With the amount of plastics, heavy metals, pesticides, jibby jabs, crazy chemicals, frankenstein meds. Do you think it really just is that that hormone receptors stop working all of a sudden for no reason and “we’re just born that way” I’m skeptical. Back to the video. Yes I have medical fuckery around this and feel like I lost my bodily autonomy

[@What_Kaity_Did]

Awesome video

[@blackrose8643]

You are beautiful, and very special. 🥰

[@janetjanet4885]

wow

[@suesattler2596]

Well. You are an attractive young woman, as far as I can see.

[@chemtourex444]

What’s this?! - every circumcised man in the world.

[@pistache3186]

Not every genital mutilation is the same

[@Trinidadianlove]

Both things are wrong! Hope this helps

And it’s definitely abnormal disorder of sexual development! Just like my condition is a disorder because there’s a mutation which alters me

[@lil_weasel219]

mutations also cause light hair and skin, which causes you to be burned easily and have thin skin more prone to aging yet thats not seen as a disorder. But, thats just an illustration Im giving to illustrate the arbitrary nature of this. "normality" vs abnormality is irrelevant, it refers to the norm, tajt which is common. Being very intelligentis thus abnormal. That doesnt mean you should be dehumanised and be dened your bodily autonomy rights

[@pistache3186]

The only disorder is you

[@never2muchluther803]

Leave these intersex individuals alone!!!

[@banzzz11]

i understand that this is a very hard situation but blaming doctors is not okay. They remove it because there is a very high risk of that gonad will turn into cancer. On the other hand i dont agree with doctors saying you shouldnt reach out to anyone about it. They probably thought they were gonna have bad reactions from people.

[@pidgeonator-2-peckment-day]

Absolutely agree with you 👍

[@Trinidadianlove]

30 to 35% percent is not a "very high risk." It's just a risk.

[@haiimcookie]

you could have also been raised a boy and then had to deal with years of confusion, dysphoria, and ultimately backlash when you decided to be yourself. this is very similar to what trans people experience but worse and much more life altering 🥲

[@haiimcookie]

at least with this people would treat you gender identity much more seriously 🥲

[@haiimcookie]

this is the interesting bit that transphobes choose to ignore . XY chromosomes do not determine someone's gender identity. the brain is a sexually dimorphic organ and undergoes specific changes before the body develops. in her case, the brain developed in such a way that made it so that she is more comfortble with being female then male. if you understand that concept, then what does make someone comfortable being either female or male? it's a difficult scientific question but the fact that dysphoria IS real provides significant evidence that this is something that happens. chromosomes do not determine gender identity. that's what is clear with this. then what does?
