I've been fortunate enough to be a white, straight, middle-class male, and that my experience pales in comparison to yours.<br /><br /> I couldn't begin to imagine what you went through, and you should be proud that you came through all that bullshit and showed yourself stronger than the stuck-up arseholes who want everyone to dress, act, and fuck the same way.Scurve Kanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11031466708650733175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1126968413676773768.post-62925861814919317102011-05-05T21:42:50.358+01:002011-05-05T21:42:50.358+01:00Thank you for this.

I am intersex - not a dramatic variant thereof, but enough that from a young age I was aware I didn't fit with what I was being told about female bodies, and enough that in later life I suffered from related medical complications which, had I been able to put them into context, might have been diagnosed earlier. I also had a friend at my school who was less able to 'pass' than I was. The school's approach was to treat both of us as if we should be ashamed of our differences and never discuss them; my friend was prevented from doing most of PE so that no undressing was necessary. We were both extensively bullied as a result, which contributed to my friend dropping out of school in her early teens.<br /><br />This really isn't just about having sex, it's about bodies - even completely average bodies - and people being taught that they should be subject to shame. It's antithetical to what education should be about. It leaves people horribly vulnerable and any government enabling it is beneath contempt.Jennie Kermodehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05749433298618601756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1126968413676773768.post-7220855223283577222011-05-05T21:34:34.334+01:002011-05-05T21:34:34.334+01:00You are very kind, but I wouldn't have the sli...You are very kind, but I wouldn't have the slightest idea how to go about sending posts to the liberal media.
