Reply To: Meeting Other Transgender Women

[Marg Produe]

Hi Bobbie,  I’m on both CDH and TGH.  I’m  an intersex person and have been misnamed and misgendered all my life.  Anyway, no problem for me anymore.  I don’t get mad,  I just use the opportunity to inform folks about intersex people and how we are as common as red heads and how to talk to us and not fear us.  It’s just a learning experience and unless the person is a super rude idiot it’s just a friendly enlightenment session.  You might find the    interACT    site glossary of terms to be very helpful for you.  It is usually kept up to date for the intersex folks.  Don’t worry,  this whole thing is a lifetime process.  Hugs,   Marg
