Only scum asks an Intersex or Trans person "but what is your real name?"
Today I met another EMT at my job who's an orphan so naturally I got along with her.
That was until I shared I was Intersex. When she asked about my condition and I felt I could share the full truth it was a big mistake.
All of a sudden what was a cordial relationship turned into her grilling me for my "real name" and getting all personal about my genitals.
She also referred to me as a malformed women and told me how sorry she feels that I'm not a whole woman.
The faith I had in this person clearly misplaced. I figured she as someone who struggled in a similar manner could be my friend.
Yet she failed human decency. She did what so many attempt to do rob me of my personhood.
Not a single person asks to be born Intersex or trans. You think I wanted a body that is "atypical". :
Myreplymy name is my real name, it's on my medical license, birth certificate, social security card, passport and since everything was done when I became an independent minor as a teenager any other records were sealed.
She replied well that's not your real name though. News flash my name is my real name, and I don't give a damn what my family that didn't want me attempted to call me.
Anyone who thinks otherwise needs a lesson on morality.
