I'm not a huge blogger but I felt the need to open up about a
condition I have. After a recent cat scan, it was determined that I possessed a
uterus. I also believe a have what's known as ovotestes or a combination of
ovaries & testicles. This is interesting to me because I suspect that I was
born an intersex child with ambiguous genitalia. I also suspect that doctors
constructed a penis so that I would be raised a male. Chromosome tests came
back XY. I have several surgical scars from procedures in my lower abdomen,
scars on my penis, undescended testicles (ovotestes are unable to descend) and
a urethra underneath the penis (known as hypospadias).
As a result, my penis has a 90 degree bend. My reasons for posting in this
forum center on the need to research intersex conditions and connect with
others who suspect they were born as an intersex child. How does this play into
my bisexuality? Does this play a part in transgender people? Any thoughts?
As a woman who loves an intersex man with a uterus, I fully support your desire for more information about who you really are, and what it means to be an intersex person.
