GenderLife Forum: The Information Exchange

I've discovered over time that the few intersex members the forum has had over the years were forced to spend most of their time here reminding others of why they're different from most forum members, and why this or that issue doesn't apply to them, so I've come to believe that this forum is not really set up to handle intersex issues. If you were diagnosed at birth with an intersex condition or sex chromosome anamoly, you will probably not find the information here useful. As an alternative, try an intersex-specific forum like Bodies Like Ours.

Many intersex people were assigned a gender at birth (regardless of genital configuration) and remain living in that assigned gender now. They do not deal so much with the issues involved in crossing over from one societal gender (male) to the other societal gender (female). Instead, many intersex people deal with a different set of medical issues and self-identity issues relating to the choices made "for them" at birth by family and the medical community.
