    Philosophy has it that a "thing" is or is not. Such information gives me opportunity to make a critical thinking that beautiful soul like mercy have opened the philosophical thought to analyse life. The essence of being is so deep not being a man and woman, but soul and body, self motivation to achieve life dreams.

The society is the one that is broken and sick, it desperately need healing through education and creating awarenes. So important to bring the marginalized people in the open, there is so much diversity of sexes and abilities just as we have diversity of colors. Not mere black and white, not binary. Let the marginalized people speak. Its a privilege to be in the audience and hear your wonderful story. 💌

    This is quite informative and brave while at it. I concur that Intersex should not be bundled together with the other LGBTQ grouping because while the former is a misnoma of genetics, the latter is a matter of choice. What a wonderful soul (and at this young age) removing ignorance from many of us. May God bless you Monica

    Wrong, if people can be born without the appropriate genitalia because of dysfunctional genetics (hardware), it follows that the same genetics can interfere with an individual sexuality mentally (software). All living things are afflicted with all manner of deformities but the sexual one is the most sensitive. Education is the only way to end the stigma of the LGBTQ people including the intersex, they're all creation of God, in his image.
