I wish I could be your friend and hug you and just be someone to listen to your stories and discussions like these. Be strong. You are a beautiful person.

...getting raped by a friend... oh my God. Hope they either realized their criminal act and tried to make up for it (if that's ever possible) or they got their legal consequences... You have lived through a lot, Maya. Greetings from Sandra-Isabell.

You're a kind and brave person! And you're right sexuality and genre shouldn't be important, hold you're head up high, You're something most people will never even understand- You're honest, Kind and full of empathy, It's maybe easy for me to say- but i truly believe it's good to be different in this world!

When I was a kid, some things were easily to diagnose about me, whenever I needed to go to the emergency room, but other things were well.. just impossible. After examination, the doctor could not come up with any diagnose, and after a series questions, the doctor was getting impatient, and so I think he just said anything to get rid of my mother and I out of his office.

i love you ... i would like to make you happy everyday...

You are so brave for speaking out. I had lots of problems as a child. I am a lot older than you. I started crying watching you speak. When you said sexuality without any kind of love is worthless that was it. The sexual abuse for 3 rd gendered people is so high along with the violence. You are a beautiful person & I send you my love & deepest understanding. Thank you for being & allowing me to feel less alone.

I just want to send you a million hugs and tell you that you are never alone.

@CBowley603 The condition of physically being part male, part female and a whole lot of neither because of inherent biochemical limitations to develop both female and male sexual organs given that they are build from the same cells and tissues.

Note that "cells" and "chromosomes" don't really determine sex or gender, both sex and gender are emerging features of the development of the person as a whole and with anything as complex as a human body things can sometimes become complicated.
