Check it out Ma, I'm INTER-esting

Hello there, strangers and loyal readers. I come to you with news. Good, bad, awesome? You be the judge, for I shall merely state the facts. Well, maybe I'll throw in my opinion somewhere. Ok, let's get crackin'.

About a week ago, I went to my primary doctor thinking it was just one of those standard visits where you say "Hi, I'm fine. Gimme a lollipop." and go on with your life. Boy was I wrong. Nope, I did not exit the office with a lollipop, folks. I went home with a new item to put on my life menu. You see, my doctor was checking me for the usual stuff when suddenly, he stumbled upon my body/facial hair. He asked me if I was taking testosterone already to which I replied "No." quite disappointed. He kept looking at me and the places I had body hair. When he finished lookin' around, he took the "thingy with the light on the tip" and told me to say "AAAHH". It was then, just as I was opening my mouth, he casually blurted out "You might be INTER-SEXED."  To which I went "AAHH????". Yup, you read right. I might just have a magical penis hidden inside my body. He said the reason he thinks I might be Inter-sex is the amount of body/facial hair I have and how its distributed throughout my body. And I trust the man 'cause I am NOT his first tranny, people. He's one of the few doctors who is very integrated into the LGBTQ community. So, yeah, he knows his stuff. Those are the juicy, curious, interesting, surprising facts.

Now, let us explore my initial reactions to such facts. First of all, WHAT  THE  ACTUAL  FUCK?!. Ahem, now, let us explore my current reactions. To be honest, even though it definitely caught me by surprise and freaked the bejeezuz out of me (yes, two z's), I think this would be a good thing. Not that I ever thought it was bad, 'cause I don't have anything against inter-sex people. But its just something you don't expect to be told about yourself so your natural reaction is, well, my initial reaction. You never think "Hey, maybe I have a secret penis hidden inside me." or "Hey, maybe I have a vagina in here.". Its what some would call "a shocker". So, yeah, I freaked. After freaking came the acceptance and then came the embracing. I don't really care whether I'm trans or inter-sex, I just care about having my body corrected. But the thing about being inter-sex is that my medical insurance might just pay for my surgeries because they might acknowledge inter-sex as an actual condition, opposed to gender dysphoria, which they seem to ignore. The other good, or great thing about it is that I may just have a hidden penis! Yay! This is good because it means they won't have to create something out of nothing. They can use what I have secretly hidden, right? Well, it makes sense in my head. Anyway, this would definitely explain what goes with me and it could just be one of the best things that's ever happened to me. So, again, yay!.

On a different note, I am seriously considering changing my name legally to Pandora Box for obvious reasons. Mama don't know just how special her baby is. I'm starting to develop a high tolerance for shock and surprise. Ain't nothin' out there I ain't seen or heard that'll scare me, mistuh. Preach it, gurl.

Stay frosty ;)

  1. This is actually a really interesting Blog, I'm glad I came across it :) It's great that you embrace these things! Congrats! You're the first person I've ever "known" that is/might be an inter-sex. "Different" people are the most interesting people! I hope to read another post soon ^_^
