I’m intersex. Non standard genitals. Times and times again I’m being made to choose to be a man or a woman. My pleas to get minimal hormones just to be healthy are ignored. I’m in medical debt due to dealing with debilitating complications from doctors forcing my body to be either female or male. Letting my body be it’s normal self minus what was causing actual issues was never an option. I’m deeply convinced if nonbinary people were acknowledged this wouldn’t be the case. I’m given zero control. Asking to be put on low dose is ignored. My only option is refusing all hormones and hoping my body will manage. I don’t have natural dysphoria, I get dysphoria from the surgical and hormonal changes forced upon me. I’m tired. Fuck nbphobia.

Yeah but you are posting on the Internet in a forum of discussion. WE ASK QUESTIONS HERE.

True, a very valid point!

I think if a post is meant as rant only, then there’s no need to reply to questions 🤔 Not even to say that they won’t do question-answering at all.

Yeah it’s a real bad look to get angry with people taking the time to try and understand. It now looks more like attention seeking than anything healthy.

Maybe I’m being overly judgemental though.

Except they didn’t get angry, you just don’t like having boundaries set for you by those you see as educational tools there to serve you, not human beings with valid wants and needs.
