Even with the doctor telling you, what the gender and sex,of what your baby is, how can you be for sure?

Question

often times parents just accept what the doctor says, and trust the ultra sound that they uses.bu
t perhaps years later down the road? you may f
ace the discovery that your he maybe a she? it maybe hard to believe, but believe me, its true,a
nd its happening more often today, than parents
want to believe? i was born in 1953, my mother
had 27 children, 13 died, and 14 lived. there wer
e two sets of twins, i have a twin brother, 27 min
utes older than me. i often wondered why was h
e treated so much better than me? i found out th
at he was much sicklier than me, early on, i wish
ed that i was the first one borned. i knew very litt
le about how blessed i was. i knew that i was dif
ferent. i felt like a girl, i played with girls all the ti
me. all my life, i had total desire to be a girl. yet
i was born with a boys body? how can this be so
my doctors talked, mums the word, doctors mad
e mistakes at child birth, that should have been c
orected, too late now, patient too old

im only trying to let parents think about t
he fact that they may need to early resea
rch about the sex and gender of their chil
d, perhaps long before they get to the st
age of wanting to know, what their child i
s going to be? there are walls of knowled
ge, here on the internet, and all it takes i
s the time to want to get involved, for you
rown good, and the good of your unborn
ed baby? i believe that if my parents wou
ld have had all of the information, knowle
dge, technology, internet, wisdom, and t
he understanding of being able to go bey
ond things that seem to be alright at fac
e value. with all of that in mind, and learn
ing what i am today. i believe that i would
be much happier being the younglady tha
t i would be today. i wouldnt have to stru
gle and endure this pain, agony, and suff
ering, because im not in the body that im
supposed tobe in? i wouldnt be on depre
ssion pills, to keep me from wanting to k
ill myself. i want and need to be a woma
n.

Answer 1

Gender Identity, the sense of oneself being male or female, has nothing to do with the physical body one inhabits. Although most people born with a penis have a male inner sense of being, not all do. People who have a gender identity opposite their birth gender are called transsexuals. Almost always, they have physically normal bodies, which is why they are raised as one gender, although they feel they are the other. There is no known cause for this, although it is believed to be physical, it is not a learned behavior and nothing anyone has done to you could have caused it.

Just so you know, you are not too old to transition, people have done it in their 70s and 80s. If you would like more information as to how to do it, check out www.tsroadmap.com, or find a therapist who specializes in gender issues and talk with them. Remember that there is nothing wrong with who you are, and that the way you feel is perfectly valid, and you have a right to be happy.

Answer 2

The ultrasound tells the anatomy of the child. There's no way to determine gender identity of a person while they're still in the womb. If someone grows up to feel more like a member of the opposite sex than what they were born with, there's nothing the doctors could have done to predict that, even an amnio.

Answer 3

plenty of people are born one sex and have overwhelming feelings that they "should have been" the opposite sex. Anatomically the doctor was correct in your case, thats obviously all they can look for in an ultrasound. If you are a man who wants to be a girl, then go for it. So many people say that is wrong these days, but its not. Do what you have to do for yourself to feel comfortable. Not what you think will make every one else feel comfortable.

Answer 4

Unless you have an amnio (which will definitively determine sex), there is no way to know 100% what the child is until it's born. Ultrasounds have been wrong before.

Answer 5

of 3 kids that i am lucky to have i did not know any of the sexes. my ex-wife knew. when she'd try to tell me, id cover my ears and go blablabla. i didnt see a sight glass. she tried to show me the ultrasounds, i only viewed the profile one, not the whole body. i love christmas.

i also had alotta family that id have to go blablabla because they would be talking. for 2 ugly people, we made beautiful babies.

Answer 6

are u talking about "intersex" children. i guess we all just pray that my son is really a boy and my daughter is really a girl.
