The title sums up my life’s story. I am an intersexed individual, I was assigned male at birth and believe this to be a mistake. I am working at ‘correcting’ this mistake by the doctors at my birth.
From my discussions with priests, they all seem to consider me as having a gender identity issue and push me towards Courage and to just ‘carry my cross’. However I don’t see how I am same theologically as homosexuality.
I am sterile, irreversibly, from birth. There is nothing to fix this, thus any surgery regarding my sex/gender will not effect my status. I don’t function as a male or female and never can.
According to the priests I cannot be married, to either a man or a woman, no matter what, because of my intersexed status. I am not sure if this is the true Catholic position or not, they confessed they were not that knowledable of this issue wholly.
