A friend had an intersex baby a few years ago and had a WONDERFUL doctor! The doctor explained everything and told the parents that the child seems like it may feel most comfortable as he/him based on the doctor's previous experience, but could absolutely end up being trans or non-binary. The doctor said the best option is to be mentally prepared in case that happens and let the child decide for themselves when they grow up rather than taking a guess, doing surgery and being wrong. It was awesome! You hear so many horror stories, but there are docs who understand and do the right thing!

It’s always really fucked me up that doctors perform these surgeries on *INFANTS,* literally some of them days old, for nothing other than cosmetics, even though they’re fully aware the surgeries cause all sorts of medical issues later in life, lifelong trauma for intersex people, and more often than not they “choose” the wrong sex and the person ends up transitioning later in life, or at least not fully identifying with the sex they were *literally* assigned at birth. A lot of times parents are told by doctors that their children *need* these surgeries and then they need to never talk about it again. It’s absolutely insane. Performing surgery of that magnitude, surgery that alters someone’s life to that degree, *requires* consent and infants cannot give that. Any doctors performing these surgeries should be in prison.

Ya, like there are people who are born a sex but it doesn't match their gender (trans), and people who dont feel they identify with the main genders (non-binary and genderfluid). And obviously the parents won't know until the child is older, so it makes most sense to treat them as their sex until they say they don't feel their gender matches. But then intersex people, who are born as a different sex (not male or female), are still shoved into one of the boxes by their parents! People who are Trans can have a very difficult time receiving these surgeries, yet they will give them to babies who have no sign of wanting to be that gender? It is so crazy! It needs to be normalized that having a kid should not be because you want to have someone to raise or feel you succeeded in life. You should have a kid if you can truly raise a child and have the patience and dedication needed, and you will be chill with them having any looks, traits, gender, sex, sexuality, etc.

I’d imagine for some that’s they only way they find out. Or when they go to have kids because even if they have fully functional reproduction system I heard it can cause infertility or make it hard to conceive. Due to things like only having one overy, low sperm, hormone issues, not ideal shaped uterus. But for some who don’t want children, they probably never find out. I’m female but I guess my mom always wondered if I was Intersex because I didn’t I guess conform to typical gender norms. I grew up with brothers so I was both girly and tomboy I guess. I got in a motorcycle accident as a teen and when I got a body scan. My mom nervously asked the doctor if my reproduction system looked normal because it was a tissue scan. Nothing was different. But wow my mom 😅. Also she always was weird about me showing bi characteristics at a young age and throughout my life. I never really confirmed that, but I just say I’m just not putting myself in a category. But I guess that might be part of why she was so fearful.

I discovered when I was 23! Currently 25. I randomly came across a Wikipedia page for genital variations and got like "wow mine looks like that one that is not on the end of the spectrum". Which is such a random way to find out... it explained a lot of the body differences I had and didn't even question about. Being autistic (only diagnosed at 24, suspected by me since 9), having a ton of mental health issues, being bisexual and identifying as non binary I was passively taught to think "well, I'm just weird I guess!" It took a really long time to get things to eventually make sense.

We just found out my sister is intersex at age 26. Apparently she was born "closed up", so she had a surgery done on her as an infant. My mother was an immigrant from another country, spoke a different language and the doctors never talked to her about the ramifications of doing the surgery that young. I don't think doctors should be doing "normalizing" surgeries for babies.

Hi I hope you don’t mind but can I ask you some questions. Does intersex mean you’re born with a penis and vagina? And what would happen if your born intersex and you don’t get surgery to assign you to a gender like what would happen? Would you just have your period and also have a penis with sperm? Because I understand the argument of not performing surgery on intersex babies but then if they don’t what would happen? Also can all intersex people who didn’t get surgery get pregnant? And when you’re intersex at birth with no surgery how do they decide if you’re a girl or a boy? Or are you just neither just floating in the middle with a under developed vagina and penis. Also since intersex exists does that mean there are 3 genders not 2? Or is there still 2 because intersex people eventually go to a gender. I hope this doesn’t come across as rude I am just genuinely curious as I’ve only learnt about this in the last year when someone told me there was 3 genders/sexes. And I’ve never met an intersex person. I’ve only relied on google but hearing it from someone firsthand would be amazing

@@whym3689jeez thats a lot of questions. Im not sure about most of this but ill do my best. From my understanding, being intersex means you have genetalia between a penis and a vagina, or a penis and a vagina, or you have hormones that are different from what the rest of your body is, or multiple of these things. Basically its having a partially male and partially female body, whatever that means for the specific person. 💛💜💛

@@whym3689 not everyone who is intersex is born with both genitals, more often then not they are born with regular generalized, or none like OCs sister, but will retain the other sex organs such as gonads or a non functioning uterus. Sometimes they are born completely normal of 1 general or the other but their chromosomes can look different, like XXY for example. So it presents itself in many different ways like they said at the beginning of the video. No not all intersex people can get pregnant even with a functioning uterus they may be infrrtal due to a severe hormone imbalance. Most intersex babies dont need surgery at all in ed as they are like OCs sister but most of the time it's simply cosmetic to "look normal". For the ones that dont get surgery if they look normal enough they will be assigned the gender closet to their genitalia or in the case of chromosomes, XXY specifically, a doctor told me they will always be classified male regardless of genetalia. Soo yeah hope that answers some questions. I'm not intersex but have been learning from them for almost 10 years I want to say. It's not exactly classified as a 3rd "gender" it's more like being genderless(?) If that makes any sense. But yeah intersex comes in many many different forms 😊

This is so interesting to me because my son wasn't considered intersex because his body parts were female but when he was 11 he had to go to an endocrinologist and they said hormonally he was pretty much male. His female hormones were so low they wanted to put him on them. He was so sick though, and it wrecked him emotionally and it didn't help his health issue at all. So by age 12 he said he was male. He felt male, he really honestly looks male other than those reproduction organs. Speaking of, of course in Tennessee he could not get gender-affirming treatment but they'd be happy to keep pushing female hormones on him.

This video makes me incredibly happy to see. I also have an intersex condition and for a long time we have been all too invisible -- many of us keep it a shameful secret as we go about our lives trying to fit into the societal norms. Doctors saw me as a medical curiosity or an exotic animal and I was often shamed or humiliated for my difference by peers and relatives. This video, coming from such a large platform, is a big step to allowing intersex people (people with DSDs) to be seen as humans who are just as normal as everyone else. Thank you so much for doing this interview, this means so much for spreading awareness and education to the general public, as well as letting intersex people feel seen and heard in a humane way!

Im intersex and i wanna infodump to strangers about it!!!! Im too scared of doctors to know what “type” i am but i have genitalia w ambiguous traits and luckily never had a surgery done on me. Basically i can pee standing up and im also able to get preggo to my knowledge but i imagine it would be more painful than normal (which is saying a lot obvi) I dont identify as anything because gender feels unnecessary and too fictional for me to take seriously. People are actually more understanding of it than they are of trans people in my experience, ig because they have a bioessentialist view of gender that completely breaks down when they have to consider me in their argument. Growing up was tough because I was socialized as a girl but i had to hide an adam’s apple and pitch my voice up, so I felt ugly esp when my mom kept pointing my masculine traits out to me. Ive taken both testosterone and estrogen. Testosterone gave me hypersomnia and I had to quit using it because I’d sleep 20 hours at a time. Estrogen didnt effect me outside of minor weight gain and boobie growth, but I went off of it because I wanted to be more natural with my hormone presentation for a while. The term Hermaphrodite only bugs me because I’m a huge greek mythology nut and I know that Hermaphroditos wasnt even intersex he was fused with a woman named Salmacis- what bothers me the most is that there are plenty of greek/phrygian gods that ARE intersex like Phanes and Cybele. That’s all ❤️

Hi I hope you don’t mind but can I ask you some questions. Does intersex mean you’re born with a penis and vagina? And what would happen if your born intersex and you don’t get surgery to assign you to a gender like what would happen? Would you just have your period and also have a penis with sperm? Because I understand the argument of not performing surgery on intersex babies but then if they don’t what would happen? Also can all intersex people who didn’t get surgery get pregnant? And when you’re intersex at birth with no surgery how do they decide if you’re a girl or a boy? Or are you just neither just floating in the middle with a under developed vagina and penis. Also since intersex exists does that mean there are 3 genders not 2? Or is there still 2 because intersex people eventually go to a gender. I hope this doesn’t come across as rude I am just genuinely curious as I’ve only learnt about this in the last year when someone told me there was 3 genders/sexes. And I’ve never met an intersex person. I’ve only relied on google but hearing it from someone firsthand would be amazing

I don't know where are you from or how is your health system, but maybe looking for an endocrinologist specialized in development could be a safe way. And nowadays you can take the opinions of other patients before in evaluations. They understand the "types" you refer, and they aren't surgeons to force a surgery. They could evalute if there is a better hormone treatment for you. Or if they are risky and could cause some body reactions you wouldn't know (Well, now you know 😅). There are some intersex that can get pregnant, but the labor is risky to the mother and/or the child, others that can't. And there is some that have internal organs that remains that can become tumors. I am a health practitioner, but not a endocrinologist, so I cannot ascertain the details. I hope I am not being prepotent or invasive with my points, just a worried person here. 😅

"If they can pee, let them be" was (and maybe still is, idk) a phrase I heard a lot in my younger years within the queer community. I fully endorse it. If there's no actual medical harm in leaving an intersex infant alone, leave them alone. Educate them as they grow up about their condition. And when the time is right, let them decide what to do with their bodies.

He said “because hygiene.” That it’s easier to clean and deal with. SURE it is. But that’s like saying I cut off two of your fingers because it’s easier to wash ur hands. Fuck that. Some guys can loose up like 30% of sexual feeling and stimulation. That’s fucking ridiculous. And to assume it’s THAT HARD to wash your dick? (Ok yes some guys are gross af) BUT STILL! It’s beyond me bro. I have a friend who I talked to about this and he said. “Bro it’s gross, I do not want to teach or show my son how to wash his dick. Even explain it or spell it out. Gross.” First of all. Ok?! Man up and do it. It’s ur kid. Second of all. I have two sisters and our parents are long passed away. I’m dad. Me and grandma had to teach them and help them thru puberty. Periods, hormones, all that. Was it a little odd for me? Yes. Was it gross? Not really. It’s shit you gotta do man. Ladies of the family and friends are in the know of all that and usually take the lead and tell the girls what’s up. Dads should do the same for the boys. If you’re too grossed out to tell ur kid he needs to wash his dick? Shame on you, grow a pair and explain it. And if ur so scared of doing that that you would CUT OFF PART OF YOUR SONS DICK AT BIRTH?! I don’t even want to know you. Also I absolutely know this comment is off topic. But to end, we shouldn’t be cutting into baby’s if it’s not life threatening unless it’s for good reason and it absolutely should be fully documented clearly, so the person can know wtf was done to them.

This usually happens after sitting up or standing up, and most often within the first 10 minutes of those movements. Symptoms include dizziness, lightheadedness, shakiness, and heart palpitations, among others. While it’s not deadly, POTS can cause symptoms and complications that interfere with daily life and tasks ... It’s not entirely clear what causes POTS. There’s also no cure. But, doctors have a series of treatments that can help people with POTS live a typical life and avoid complications or life-interrupting symptoms.

IF an intersex person wants to use that word to refer to THEMSELF, ofc they can always take back that slur and try to take the power back for themself, but nobody should be referring to others that way.

I am intersex (I have XXY chromosomes) . I am very happy you made this video. Although I am an abnormal case of intersex, I found myself relating hard af to these people. Despite being XXY, which I like to think as “super male”, I was born with fully developed male parts and half developed female parts. I had a vagina and a penis (my testies were hidden up by where my ovaries would’ve been) and am a rather small person (both are REALLY weird for XXY people). Anyways, thanks again for making this vid. Intersexism is rarely talked about, I a really appreciate you talking about it.

I also sometimes had times where I’d look in the mirror & see what could be a girl looking back. I’ve never grown much facial or body hair. And I’ve always had a high nasal voice. I wasn’t diagnosed with XXY until I was 22 because a doctor wanted me tested cz he noticed something about me. I didn’t go for anything related to that I actually went cz I found a lump on my testicle which obviously is very worrying but that ultimately came back all clear & now they say theyre like small cysts or something but they shouldn’t cause me any pain or problems at any time. I always wanted to be a Dad but with XXY I kno I can’t but I’m glad there more people here in the comments with the same intersex condition.

Hi I hope you don’t mind but can I ask you some questions. Does intersex mean you’re born with a penis and vagina? And what would happen if your born intersex and you don’t get surgery to assign you to a gender like what would happen? Would you just have your period and also have a penis with sperm? Because I understand the argument of not performing surgery on intersex babies but then if they don’t what would happen? Also can all intersex people who didn’t get surgery get pregnant? And when you’re intersex at birth with no surgery how do they decide if you’re a girl or a boy? Or are you just neither just floating in the middle with a under developed vagina and penis. Also since intersex exists does that mean there are 3 genders not 2? Or is there still 2 because intersex people eventually go to a gender. I hope this doesn’t come across as rude I am just genuinely curious as I’ve only learnt about this in the last year when someone told me there was 3 genders/sexes. And I’ve never met an intersex person. I’ve only relied on google but hearing it from someone firsthand would be amazing

I don't even think some doctors know about it or even think of it, when I was younger I would see the diagrams of what a typical female body should look like and think "oh I don't exactly look like that but I'm sure what I have is just normal" well now I know it's not. My condition is more physical but I do have some really bad hormonal issues such as a never ending period that I had for over a year (I was 10 when it started and doctors didn't take me seriously) luckily for me it only really started to become noticeable as I got older and I never had surgeries forced on me (atleast from my knowledge) but I am slightly scared of doctors as a young intersex person because I know many doctors have made young intersex people go through surgeries and hormone treatment which I really don't want

I'm intersex and my condition is hyperestrogenism, but I also have PCOS which confused people but shrug. My hyperestrogenism caused my chest to grow so big that it's genuinely almost a quarter of my weight, I am considered "obese" in weight because of my chest. If my chest was gone I'd be average weight. Having hyperestrogenism is really hard since I'm a gay trans man as well, even with the help of the heightened testosterone in PCOS and HRT combined I will probably never pass. It hurts, but I'll figure out a way.

I wanna touch up on the definition of intersex. It's where an individual naturally has a hormonal, chromosomal, gonadal or genital variation which is considered outside of the male and female "norms." Someone with something even as small as a hormonal difference can be considered intersex (though it can be a preference if they want to be called intersex). Hermaphrodite is considered a slur, but some intersex people are ok with it so always ask before calling us something. Communication is key for everything.

My aunt had a very similar situation to Hayden. It was the late 50s, early 60s so they assigned her male at birth (boys are better mentality 🙄 rural Indiana/Illinois) and did some surgery. She was on hormone therapy for a long time. She decided to stop taking her hormones in her 40s and her body totally changed. She was a very skinny man but she is very voluptuous now 😅 Like Hayden and the trans experience, she always felt like she was the wrong gender. And she's a lesbian. After she transitioned and came back into our lives (family drama and my mom was very religious so our aunt didn't want to add stress to my mom's medical conditions. Jokes on her tho, my mom gave zero shits, as long as you are a good person), she told us her story and my mind has never comprehended the anti-trans bills. It's okay to take the choice away from intersex kids but giving teens choices is bad? Supporting kids wearing whatever they want or having whatever hairstyle they want is bad? But doing cosmetic surgery of babies genitalia is A-Okay so they "fit in" better. WHO IS LOOKING AT JUVENILE GENITALS?! Kinda seems like a surgery that can wait...

It is very much an intersex condition lmao This is coming from an intersex person btw ;)
