Iβm intersex. Non standard genitals. Times and times again Iβm being made to choose to be a man or a woman. My pleas to get minimal hormones just to be healthy are ignored. Iβm in medical debt due to dealing with debilitating complications from doctors forcing my body to be either female or male. Letting my body be itβs normal self minus what was causing actual issues was never an option. Iβm deeply convinced if nonbinary people were acknowledged this wouldnβt be the case. Iβm 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 donβt have natural dysphoria, I get dysphoria from the surgical and hormonal changes forced upon me. Iβm tired. Fuck nbphobia.
Keep advocating for yourself. Donβt let anyone convince you that you have to take whatever hormones or have whatever surgery. My transition worked out way better when I found a doctor willing to listen to my troubles and recommended treatment that aligned with my goals. I think surgery saved my life. I had 3 suicide attempts before it and 0 since. The difference in the quality of life is like night and day.
