"I'm 80% Girl, 20% Boy"

A short film from the UK directed by Maxx Ginnane. The film focuses on 29-year-old Adele, an intersex person (XXY). Born with ambiguous genitalia, she was surgically "corrected" (four operations by the time she was seven) and brought up as a boy, yet she has always felt that she was a girl. Though Adele is now pursuing gender reassignment surgery to become a woman, she muses as the film ends "I've lived 30 years of my life as a man, and I'm going to live the next 30 years of my life as a woman. But, eventually, when I'm an old person, hopefully society will have moved on to a point where I can live as myself -- which is an intersexed person -- neither male nor female."

Leave them in peace. They are all humans just like you and me.

If I were a hermaphrodite I would be proud, and make myself look half girl half boy! :D

Aw, she's pretty.

It's sad what happens to intersex babies. Imagine what happens in third world countries... There is so much horror in the world.

@JonesArmandoHoward

I,ve been internally dealing with the "problem for 32 years...

The whole inter sex definition is to include Transgenders within the phylum of hermaphrodites or to use the classical term "HOMOSEXUALS"...

IIIDDDDJJJITTTT...

The trannies will not succeed in placing themselves in peerage or houses...

A lot of them are biological pretenders and proxy agitators for a ever dwindling population that is about 6 to 700.Studying history would help your cause.

@peaceandparty

That would make them a klinefelter, the definition comes from the sex cells produced and the internal configuration of gonads/proto gonads, there is a book called concise pathology 3 that describes the different types that there are...there are hermaphrodites/pseudo hermaphrodites and then stuff that is the result of exposure to either chemicals and sometimes radiation called Klinefelter and then there are ones called Kat due cry and klinefelter, they have incomplete gene's...

@peaceandparty

saying that I am a Neo-NAzi from America and completely avoiding what I stated about the sham and the misinterpretation of say the Term Transsexual and the biological phylum of Homosexual...

If social media networks are an indicator of modern American society and the middle class' mental capacity then...it would appear that low bred attempts at social and aesthetic consumer fascism have doomed America to obscurity and irrelevance...

Du ist ein lustig bimbo und ein slecht hund.

@peaceandparty Well you can't. You're such a dumb ass. "Recently, the word "intersex" has come into preferred usage for humans, since the word "hermaphrodite" is considered to be misleading and stigmatizing, and "scientifically specious and clinically problematic."" Who's being rude now? Like I said, some species (ex. worms) can be hermaphrodites. Intersex is not even close to being the same thing. I came to grips with that years ago when I found out.

[Jasmine171819]

@peaceandparty Who says I said an intersex person isn't human? You're ridiculous. The term "hermaphrodite" is an ANCIENT term applying to the intersex conditions. Like I said earlier, hermaphrodites produce sperm AND eggs. If you can do that, then I'm sure you'll be in the guiness book of world records, because as long as you can make one, you can't make the other if you're a human. It's plain and simple. We're not a hermaphroditic species. Get your facts straight.

@Jasmine171819

FYI i am intersex too

and unlike you i generally dont joke around with even putting into the air that a hermaphrodite cant be human and if i do,i make sure the reader knows its sarcasm!

you have simply misunderstood the word asexual and mixed it up with infertile!

ok honey!

read my comments again and you may then(may not) realise that i am totally on the ball here!

your comments dont make sense!

"has both male and female FULLY FUNCTIONAL organs. NOT POSSIBLE FOR HUMANS. "

[peaceandparty]

@Jasmine171819

"you cant be hermaphrodite and be a human"

that is what i read and you wrote.....it wasnt obvious that you were being sarcastic!

anyone saying that and i will kick their ass in text!

please look up a dictionary for the word asexual and quote me where it says it has anything to do with being infertile!in your own words"maybe you should get your definitions straight"

i have been on forum groups for nearly a decade,listening to everyone and learning so much

i suggest we chat
