Not Quite Another One...


Girl is born looking like a Boy. She tries to be a Boy. Fails, but can
fake it well. She has to to try to have some kind of normal life.
Later, she finds out her body isn't as male as everyone (including
her) thought. She's in-between, so can live as the woman she always
was, without feeling like some kind of sex pervert. Her partner takes
in her stride the fact that she married another girl, the person
matters, not the physical shape, and they all live happily ever after,
giving thanks that due to an unusual biological situation, two gals
could have children together. Rare, but it happens.

From the Denver Post

:

Five years ago, when Steve and Debbie Crecelius awaited results of
his kidney stone ultrasound, they weren't expecting earth-shattering
news. But what the technician told them rocked their world. "She said,
'You're female,' " said Steve, a prominent local photographer who has
worked with clients ranging from Harrison Ford to the city of
Glendale. The medical discovery that he is intersex — born with a mix
of anatomical sex traits, so biological gender cannot be classified as
either male or female — led to a flood of revelations that would
refine and redefine their 25-year marriage. When they got home, Debbie
forced a conversation that Steve feared would cost him his wife and
family. "There's something I've always wanted to talk to you about,"
she said, explaining that she'd always known that he had female
traits.....

No change of external appearance, just the revelation that her body
wasn't completely male. That was enough. We need to educate people,
especially Trans people, to realise that Trans people aren't "sex
perverts" as is the popular belief. That whether someone is
classically Intersex, with a mixed reproductive anatomy, or
classically Transsexual, with a mixed neurological anatomy, or even if
they just have a cross-sexed gender identity due to other causes - not
that any have been identified - they're who they feel they are. They
don't have to pretend.
