Sup.

I was diagnosed with CAH literally yesterday.

I've been an anomaly for years. Born male, normal male genitalia, all good. Puberty pretty early, got pretty sick.. was transgender in no time.. had gender reassignment surgery with all the bells and whistles. Health improves.

After all those years, literally last week: Unusual blood results, come back in to discuss, here have an ultrasound, oh you have ovaries, here let's take some more blood. Oh you're genetically female. Oh you're a CAH case. Gratz.

Literally all of my wats. I don't even know what to tell anyone, including myself.

How the fuck are we meant to deal with stuff like this. Is there anything I should be aware of?

I just can't get over having a sex change to my sex and finding out about it months down the line.

Haha. I have a great life, this is just the weirdest thing EVER.

I was literally transgender 7 days ago. That's how I saw myself, and what I was. I'd had my surgery, I was becoming more comfortable and confident just being me. I used to look at intersex people and think 'if I had that instead of this, a lot of my current woes wouldn't have come about'. God the irony. I also feel humbled in hearing the medical problems of OP. I've exhibited some strongly adverse effects due to my gender and sex issues, but nothing like the illnesses she's suffered with, which makes me feel all the more horrible for wanting to be diagnosed this way after all these years.
