FRIEND OF MINE born into predominantly but not fully male body:
MIXED CHROMOSOMES 🧩
Thank You 💜

“What is a way to say "in my experience as a man" without getting into gender shit? Trying to say "person that has had to deal with being male," not trying to assert that I am cis, because that isn't really accurate. I don't want to inadvertently undermine trans people.

I mean my experience as it relates to occupying a male body. Think so far as gender goes, I'm closer to non-binary. Would not choose this body. Would not choose male. But, I'm here and I don't feel we're yet at a place technologically where I have a real choice.

For me, it's I don't know how to say it. I don't want to step on toes. Some things are a direct consequence of the body, not the mind. I would like a more eloquent way of expressing that. I don't want to conflate the two. I don't know how to avoid it.

I really wish more focus was being put on enabling meaningful, accessible morphological freedom. Probably shouldn't get into it, but when I was a kid, a hormone imbalance lead to the development of excess breast tissue. Surgery to remove it left prominent scars and nerve damage. Think that kind of fucks with me.🤔 I'm trying to think of any way to address the body without it being twisted into a gender issue and all I'm turning up is anxiety.

"As a consequence of growing up male?"

People insist it isn't complicated, but it always feels like I'm going to be yelled at by someone. 😕”

These are two different cases of a parent nearly succeeding at killing their child. In one the father does it and in another it's the mother.

He passed away two years ago at the age of 42 (pnemonia was the cause) but when he was 6 years old, his father took him to a motel and promised they would go to Disneyland. Instead he gave his son sleeping pills, poured kerosene in the room, lit the room and left. This left the boy permanently disfigured with horrific burns for life.

When she was only 14 months old, her mother placed her in an oven and turned it on. The girl's father heard her screamings and got her out on time. Her recovery has been long and painful. It took 28 surgeries over 10 years to repair the third-degree burns that charred and scarred more than a third of her toddler body. She is 15 now.

Obviously neither of them deserved to be parents but when the own mother tries to kill her child in a horrific way, is it more shocking than when the father does it?
