    Just wanted to say 'hello'. I'm new but been lurking a few weeks. I'm not even sure I belong here, but it's like where else is there? I am an intersex person. My mom was suppose to have twins, but one died and I formed from the merging of male and female twins. I am a mosaic meaning I have XX chromosomes in some cells and XY in others and have ovaries and one testicle and mixed external parts so I am what is also known as a chimera.

    I was raised female and am attracted to females so have lived as a mostly in the closet lesbian, but never really felt I fit in with other lesbians. I lived in more open city in past so was mostly out for a few years, but have moved back to very closeminded rural area where pretty much everyone is homophobic and I feel like what few friends I have wouldn't be my friend if they really knew what I was. I had to move back here to take care of elderly parents since I am the only child.

    If you are not sure if you should be here you are definitely in the right place.

    Have a look around the site there are threads that are quite emotional and threads that are just fun.

    You are welcome here because you are you.

    Bi! Welcome to EC! Ive never met an Intersex person. With that gender do you identify with? And yes, this is pretty much the right place for u. And if it isn't... Then you'll have tons of fun anyway. Don't hesitate to drop me a hi, ok? You can always talk to me. I've got a few funny and interesting anecdotes about when I was a girl, and I was gay. I loved girls! But as now I'm a gay guy. Things change. But who cares, I'm still gay so we can talk about whatever you'd like

    Hi DemiLiHue! I am not even sure how to answer what gender I identify with. I live as a female since female was put on my birth certificate since they don't allow intersex as a gender here. I grew up acting like a male and liking the typical boys stuff. I have an androgynous face I think though I have been told several times when I had short hair I looked male. As a chimera technically I am two people fused together so I guess I could say I identify as intersex or that is being a little of both genders. I don't even feel human most of the time though since society ignores intersex people exist even though current statistics say something like 1 in 125 people are intersex to some degree. It's just never talked about; some people don't even know they are. PM me if you want to talk. I think as a newbie I probably can't PM someone directly or at least it's that way on other message boards I've belonged to.
