As a mother of a SWCAH girl who was born in 1976 I want to share one very important thing...we were paid to go to Cornell twice so they could study her, the one thing I think we did that is so valuable, and the experts there agreed, was we never forced her into any "rules" for gender. We raised her as who she was, girly sometimes, tomboy often, and now self declared asexual ..not stuck in either set of rules, just free to be who she is! And she is beyond amazing in my opinion. . .and many others share that opinion also!

I love how the first family is raising their children with bodily autonomy and pride in who they are. I wish more intersex people were blessed with supportive families like them. The doctor who said that it was impossible to have an intersex child be raised in a happy environment unless he cosmetically altered her genitals is proven dead wrong by the first family.

At 42 years old...during legal discovery for an injury lawsuit..I found out I had gender assignment surgery to male when I was 5 years old. I stuggled my whole life with sexual relationships...I retained the appropriate size genitalia of a five year old for many years until things shrunk in my mid 30's.
All the years suffering from gymnopobia...feeling less then a man...and the truth comes out in court.
I'm now accepting of my body, understanding I was born biologically ambiguous...and strongly feel that gender assigning children is morally wrong.

The ocean of difference between the family who raised their intersex children with full transparency and letting their kids know from the getgo about their intersexuality and the family who raised their intersex child as a secret is insane. The kids raised knowing about it are happier, healthier, with good selfesteem and have a positive outlook on their selves and lives. It seems like the other gal's life is completely the opposite. Her life and outlook is so dim and grey. Being intersex is not an illness and not something to hide or be ashamed of.

I really feel for Louise's mom. It's really horrible that the doctors and medical establishment shamed her because her child is as individual as any of us are really. Louise is immensely courageous and resilient in so many ways. I really admire her choice to not be resentful about what has happened to her or resentful towards her mother, who truth be told is as blameless as Louise. Both are victims as well as victors. All participants in this documentary and their willingess to expose so much of themselves and be vulnerable in an effort to educate us humans at large makes them all in my eyes heroes. ❤❤❤

I had a partner for about 5 years who had Kleinfelters's syndrome. Genetic trisomy where every cell in their body was XXY. Normally a genetic male XY and a genetic female is XX. So, in my opinion, this was purely a medical condition and should be treated as such. They had been raised from birth as male. But, as puberty began to hit and they grew older wanted to transition into a more female identity. By the time I knew them, they were wearing female clothing and during our relationship we began seeking more supportive care in a dedicated medical center for trans medical care. Eventually, they began using a female name and dressing full time as a female. I was completely fine with this. They took estrogen and developed breasts. Having a supportive, loving partner is very important to the challenges these people face in addition to just living as being intersex. I wish everyone living with these issues the very best moving forward. Since I have been very familiar with how difficult it can be just to live. Close up.

The father who complimented the first child said she is the best of both genders. I think that was most accepting and loving thing I've ever heard. And I think having your child know they are intersex from infancy is a really great policy.
