Wow this is really horrifying. She had her right over her own body taken away from her.

[@susannahtemko9839]

This is fantastic! Thank you Georgiann.

[@arlinegeorge6967]

Great great talk. Inspiring. Thank you, bless you. All your dreams come true.

[@Thesilenceiswhere]

I’m thankful for this information. I tried to look this information up to understand and I couldn’t find any info till now. I think your gender is fluid. Not for some one who is born male or female. We’re not all gender fluid and yoursituation is as normal as being male or female. So I get it. I thank you for sharing.....

[@jf8200]

Are there new honorifics yet for people who don't identify with solely one gender or whose gender identity is unknown to others? In the South, "sir" and "ma'am" is a culturally important way of showing respect (regardless of age) that occurs daily, e.g., "Excuse me, ma'am? You've dropped something." How could you address someone you don't know and whose gender identity isn't obvious?

[@chelleroberson3222]

Its not about identify its about the body

[@synonymous_]

J F I would try to just not use any "gender specific" words till it comes up tbh...

[@fantasticbeck3938]

I think I've heard of some people using "mx." It's pronounced like "Ms." except you replace the s with an x. That might be a more neutral term you could use.

[@celestine5231]

In situations where people were unsure which honorific to use for me, I've been addressed as "friend" and that's felt pretty appropriate. It's not quite as formal as sir/ma'am, but since we don't have an historically established formal gender-neutral honorific (wow, that's a mouthful) it feels like a good compromise. I'm personally not a fan of Mx in this context, as it feels more nonbinary-specific than gender-neutral to me, but I could see it catching on in the future.

[@jf8200]

@@celestine5231 Thanks! I'll go with that!

[@im19ice3]

i actually really like her name :D whether its was clever of her parents or not :9

[@highlanderjeff2720]

Agreed with most of everything that you said, but gender isn't fluid. Clothes are just clothes and people should always wear what they feel compatible with.

[@chelleroberson3222]

AceOfHearts u can present how ever you want still doesnt chamge who you physically are

[@Flora0966]

AceOfHearts The way you dress is also your personality

[@Gdf353bgy]

Shawty why are you screaming

[@kaiencross91]

I heard many story about this. Thats doctor not said the truth. Why they do that?

[@AlexMint]

Because in the 50s some quack taught them that it's best to gaslight us to "minimize emotional harm". This theory has been largely disproven(see: David Reimer) but apparently nobody cares.

[@AlexMint]

@@VaetanThought I am aware that Reimer was used as a case study after a botched circumcision using experimental methods, but while I used him as an example, intersex people have far less bodily autonomy sustained throughout their life than the men you defend.

She claims to have CAIS (complete androgen insensitivity syndrome), but her phenotype seems to be at odds with that of XY individuals with CAIS - short with short limbs, rather than slender, tall and long-limbed. Strange.

[@Patsy_Parisi]

Perfect prom date - no need for contraception

[@AlexMint]

Most of us aren't too happy about being infertile...

[@marysunshine2027]

Alex Mint true but I once was and kind of not now. Can't your blessings you don't have to bleed have to death once a month and it gets worse as you age.

[@AlexMint]

Mary, I never said I didn't have those symptoms. There are a lot of people who are infertile and have some semblance of a period. Personally I do still get cramps, but because of the surgery I was subjected to, it feels like I'm peeing glass most of the time.
