I was born intersex and, despite being forced into multiple masculinizing surgeries between ages 8-9, I turned out non-binary.
I find it interesting to contemplate the definition of trans, and how it applies to my case. Am I trans because I was assigned male and forced to be one, but identify differently? Or am I cis because I was born intersex?
To be clear, I believe the definitions don’t really matter, and I can identify however I feel fits best. I just think it’s kind of a funny situation (not the surgeries- that was not okay)
