I think this condition only happens in biological women, I think they have an enlarged clit,and an imbalance of hormones compared to typical women but they are indeed women.

[@Go4Noctis]

@@damecaprimm2726 Incorrect there are plenty of intersexes that have a vagina but have testes instead of ovaries. There are also those born with a penis but ovaries like she was. Some present more female some present more male others present in between. Also, they may present with different chromosome pairs or more than 2 such as xxy.

[@Go4Noctis]

She may be placed there due to her transitioning with hormone treatment as she presents as a woman (and goes by female pronouns) while having been born intersex and assigned male at birth. There is also quite a bit of overlap with the trans and intersex individuals. Due to intersex not always displaying outwardly, it may not be apparent.

[@damecaprimm2726]

@@Go4Noctis I don't think she was born in a hospital,and her parents mistook her as male but she is biologically a female and most likely has the ability to get pregnant. She didn't have a penis,her clitoral was enlarged and her hormones was not balanced causing her to have some male characteristics. My own hormones are somewhat off and it causes me to grow some hair on my chin which is a typical characteristic of a man but I am very much a woman and don't need a letter added to a group of people.

And that's what the enemy wants us to think. Because of we look at it deeper. There's plenty of people who hate others for all kinds of things not just our physical Anatomy or sexuality or genetics, some hate the littlest things and judge and can cause sad very bad things to others. If we were to change our self to meet their expectations then they our others find other things they don't like. I say God show these blind people that I'm not a threat show them that we are one that you live me as much as you love them. The truth is they are scared and they don't have to be just because I'm deffient doesn't mean that I'm bad. But how I see it is if you can see that they are scared just as much as you that they will hurt you because they don't understand. Because they're not in the same shoes. And they believe they are doing good by hating. But they really are not. I see things that I don't like but I don't let it bother me much I just say God knows best and will handle it how he/or she wants to. I have no right to tell anyone what to do with their life. I just would love people to get along better it would be beautiful. We have gotten better in many ways and I believe we will keep getting better and treat each other better.

I rarely watch videos like this that give me such a range of emotions, I cried for them, smiled, surprised, hopeful, etc....I’m proud of their growth -especially the parents. I wish I could just give Tatenda a huge hug ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@tatendangwaru7521]

Thank you so much Bookie for taking time to watch!

[@duermedespierto]

I hope she finds happiness and success....many blessings for her and her parents

[@takundag1640]

Anyone from Zim who opened this video and heard her video knew straight away she was from Zim

Then I guess you can see the impact of negativity towards the people who are born different .

[@mariamthethwa8952]

Is she Ndebele??

[@Cherrypi393]

As hard as her life as been and the troubles she’s faced, she’s very blessed to have the family she has. Her mom and dad are amazing. When her mom cried, I cried.

[@Nickster7]

Oh Tatenda, I feel for you my sister. I know things are tough, just know that there are people who love you and accept you the way you are. You are strong and beautiful! Sending you blessing and kindness all the way from South Africa.

[@tatendangwaru7521]

Much love to you and Thank you for watching!

[@pjtippett5510]

Sunday is a hard day for her. So sad for this women. What a blessing her parents understood, and did what they could to keep her safe. Even sending her away pains them but the lines of communication and love remains. God Bess them.

[@alicetheegreet]

I watched the movie, "Every Body", which is about intersex people and their struggles in society, and it was really eye opening. Thanks for sharing your story with us.

[@emilynelson5985]

That tile work in Zimbabwe it’s amazing

[@artuselias]

How does it feel to be human?

[@diamondintheroughiamthelaw9682]

This is in every culture under the Sun.

[@mudiakevweedika9685]

She should be thankful for her parents... They know they brought her to this world so they needed to protect.. God bless the good parents out there

[@MmmKayHuuNay]

This made me cry. I pray for her.

[@tatendangwaru7521]

Thank you for the prayers!

[@silentnight3970]

People will claim to know and love "god" yet they haven't even begun to understand human nature.

[@robertastfleur8358]

?

[@silentnight3970]

Roberta, people think "god" is responsible for things that nature does. That's all!

[@brendonmartin9550]

What a wonderful thought provoking documentary very blissful, good luck to Tatenda and keep up spreading the love 💕

[@tatendangwaru7521]

Thank you so much.Peace and Love to you !

[@tatendangwaru7521]

Thank you so much Brendon for watching

[@brendonmartin9550]

Tatenda Ngwaru - you most welcome 😊

[@sninimoyo5320]

I hope you all the best Tatenda, love from a Zimbabwean 🇿🇼❤️

[@tatendangwaru7521]

Thank you so much

[@shelsparkle2691]

I’ve never heard a white woman be this real / educated/ transparent / understanding it’s rare

[@chriswhite4999]

So you don't know very many white women personally and are using this as a blanket statement.

[@OnsceneDC]

What a beautiful, strong, and poised woman! Thank you for sharing her story. The fact that almost 2% faces of the world's population faces this condition, means that e everyone probably knows at least one or more people who are intersex, and probably doesn't even know that they are. It must be such as challenge, even in societies that are more accepting of different sexualities and orientations. This is clearly not a choice. My heart goes out to these people and hope that more awareness is raised so that societies around the world come to understand and accept intersex people.

[@2goblinsinatrenchcoat]

"he's 19, what is he doing?" 😂 I feel that

[@pantonpam8024]

Lola Not a He but a SHE

[@2goblinsinatrenchcoat]

Panton Pam I was quoting HER, when SHE was scrolling thru tinder remarking at how many 19 year olds were on there and how she didn't wanna get with a 19 year old. Ya fuckin dicksicle.

[@GrowingGoodHair]

Same here🤣😂

[@SweetyShanice96]

I really enjoyed this. I learned so much that I didn't know. She seems so kind and has a beautiful heart. I'm so happy that she has wonderful and supportive parents to be with her. God bless their beautiful souls. I wish them all so much happiness, love and peace.

[@wowwee0]

Excellent example of loving parents!! I wish all the best for them.

[@chriswhite4999]

Thank you for this wonderful documentary! Also, Tatenda's mother is so beautiful! Her cheekbones and round face!

[@LWWM]

What's terrible is that in African tradition what we now call gay, bisexual, intersex were spiritual leader as they were in between it all. I choose to believe this still. God has created a way to show us that there are in between black and white. It is the Christian missionaries that came up teach us otherwise.

[@jusme9400]

I hate that they beat her up...wtf is wrong with people.

[@804smiles]

I so love how her family loves & accepts her for whatever she is! They love her! I pray she finds the love of a man/woman or whoever long as it's real love! Blessings sis! Thank u for giving back 2 a community that wasnt always kind 2 u!

[@sarahmichelle6385]

If I have a daughter, I hope she will be as brave and kind as Tatenda.

[@tatendangwaru7521]

Oh Sarah thank you so much for your kind words

[@D4NC3Rable]

This made me cry. I love the parents too, wow.

[@Creativeich]

She is very blessed to have such amazing supportive loving parents! I do hope she gains a strong community of friends and find a partner to love her. I pray that this video may open many doors for Tatenda!

[@tatendangwaru7521]

Thank you so much for watching and your well wishes

[@johnanddenisemarsh7708]

Tatenda, i had an aunt who was intersex. She got married and had a happy life. She was a grwat cook! I am SOOOO proud of you! You are definitely a very sweet, tender and beautiful woman. I pray that God, who made you very special, will hold you close. May you feel His presence every single day. I have a son eith Aspergers syndrome. It is a special assignment to be born different but i have always believed that it is also an invitation to walk closely to God. I hope that you will read John 11. After i lost 2 babies it is the chapter in the Bible that helped me the most. Jesus knew he He was allowing His dear friends to go through a hard time. Even though He knew that in a few minutes He was going to things better He just stoppedand cried with them. Someday He will make all problems disappear but until then, i know that He hurts when we hurt. Much love to you, special lady! Denise Marsh

[@queenmeisha634]

Tatenda is a beautiful human being inside and out. She is a person I would love to meet because she is a strong immigrant woman of color.
