Hello From Marg Produe,
During a shared Uber ride at Diva Las Vegas 2021, I had the chance to meet Ambassadors April King and Skippy1965 Cynthia who were very kind and suggested that CDH and TGH would welcome someone like me. When I was 7 years old I told my mother that I thought that I was made out of spare parts since I didn’t look like other boys or fit in. 38 years ago I found out that I’m one of the 2% of the population with intersex traits. I have my mother’s body combined with small male parts. As a genetic male on the Intersex Spectrum I’m 5 feet 5 inches, 120 pounds, have cleavage, wear size 4 to 10 clothes and size 9 shoes. I am a 1970 Army Volunteer and served honorably as a Medic and Specialist. Ten years ago I finally became at ease with both of my genders and now am not bothered when people address me by my fem name or my legacy (dead) name. I still list myself as male in my professional documents. I live authentically and unapologetically each day as both genders. Sometimes people are confused when first meeting me (especially during Airport Security X-rays), but then I use that moment as an opportunity to explain the Intersex Spectrum. We make up about 2% of the population, are as common as redheads and many times go unrecognized and undiagnosed until there is a problem. Here in Wisconsin I am a member of The Madison Area Transgender Association and volunteer during Pride. I am a retired biologist and video producer and now work during the summer as a part-time lumberjack and during the winter as a woman’s costumer. I give special thanks to my loving wife of 40 years who laughs with me every day and helps me with articles and pics. Also great thanks to Jenee Davis, and Carollyn Olson who first encouraged me many years ago to get out. I hope that I can be a help to others in this group but currently am quite busy with family obligations, so please be patient if my replies are slow.
Safe Journey,
Marg
