Reflection 20

I believe that intersexuality, is the same thing as a heterosexual, which means that at birth they were born with both a penis and a vagina. Though they were born with both they do not have both for the rest of their life. At birth the parents must choose which one they want to be, which in reality it really isn’t the parent’s choice. If you have both it is easier to cut the penis off and make you into a girl. It’s all science, and a lot of surgery, but in the long run, if you wanted a boy, you got a girl. I don’t believe you know your child is a heterosexual when it is in the womb. Studies have also lead us to believe that once a child is a heterosexual it is told that they experiment with the other sex, but end up living the life of a straight person. There is talk that heterosexuals trigger the creative side of the brain, and that they are more artistically, and musically talented, musicians like Ceria, and Lady Gaga are heterosexuals. As for transgenders, there is years of mental and physical battle for them, I believe out of everyone the transgenders have it the worst. When you grow up, you have to learn to like yourself to believe in yourself, and have confidence with yourself. Transgenders never feel that confidence and don’t feel conferable in their own skin, unless they changed their gender. The sign of transgenders are usually the tom boy, which is really a girl, I’m not saying that, that is always the case, but transgenders girls usually try to fit in with the boys, and are really into sports, or musically talented. Some transgenders only go as far, as dressing up as the opposite sex and going out with the opposite sex, where as others go to the extreme of a physical transformation. They don’t feel conferable in their skin, which means if they are a girl they want to be a boy, and if they are a boy, they want to be a girl. The physical formation is painful, they have to wait a year, taking hormones and pills that help their body get ready for the surgery, it also helps the person get used to the lifestyle of the sex they want to be, and show them what it takes to be a guy, and how society will treat you. I say that transgenders has it the worst, because finally when they are happy and are conferable to be where they are at, society still rejects them. Just because the surgery gave you a penis or a vagina doesn’t mean the rest of your physical features show that you are fully the opposite gender. I know a person who went through the process, he was a guy who changed into a girl, yet he still has the manly facial features, and the big hands. The little, but noticeable things that still set them apart, from truly being what they want to be.
