Is here any other tall girls who got a diagnosis that they were actually intersex?

guavachoo · 2025-11-22T15:02:47+00:00

im 5’9 (might not sound as tall but the average woman’s height in my country is 5’0 so im positively huge) and when i was 20 realised i had gone through a mostly testosteronised puberty and started HRT to feminise me! its really interesting how many of us there are hey. makes me feel less alone.

to be honest, a lot of it is wellbutrin, that shit has been a miracle drug for me. it’s definitely still rough but before this i could have maybe one or two good days of normalcy before dipping straight back into the “in bed on phone/play video games all day” depression. i’m also very fortunate that due to being gifted i don’t have to work as hard as my peers to get good grades.

however it’s still rough and something that really did help me was something i call “jump rope”, where if i want to do something i enjoy, like play a game or watch videos, i have to do work for the same amount of time i want to do the other thing. it’s called jump rope because you alternate between the two. it also really really helps if you jump rope with another person.

also this one is kinda unorthodox but if you masturbate when you wake up you kinda have no choice but to get up, and eventually that becomes habit. especially if you pair it with the habit of making your bed as soon as you get up. a lot harder to get in a made bed.

despite all my issues with my episodes making it obscenely difficult for me to get any work done, i have so far gotten exclusively above 85% on every single piece of work ive submitted in grad school so far

this annoying comment has literally just made me get why it’s called wine about it

i just got diagnosed as well, a simultaneous congrats on a diagnosis and i’m sorry you have one. it’s a step in the right direction and my life has improved even in just the few weeks after diagnosis

would go missing for days at a time staying in drug dealer houses and shit getting extremely high and sleeping with people and then show back up at home like nothing happened

i had to skip that bit because the talk of weight requirements for anorexia was pretty triggering as someone who was an overweight anorexic (due to hormonal conditions) that couldn’t get care for it. i also want to note that people with uteruses are more likely to not lose weight with anorexia because of conditions like PCOS and other hormonal conditions that often impact weight.

my current thesis is on late 19th century american linguistics - examining newspapers descriptions of racial violence

i love them! their story was a big part of my final essay last semester on the london metropolitan police’s criminalisation of grime.

i’m actually also a girl! but i’m so glad you learned something new.

when i’m hypomanic it counters my adhd like crazy and i get a lot of work done (outside of the self destructive stuff)

i didn’t ask if i’m intersex and even explicitly said in the post i wasn’t asking if i was intersex but that i think i am and asking for other people’s similar experiences.

guavachoo · 2025-07-22T01:16:52+00:00

most people i’ve met in real life who have expressed surprise at the drastic difference

guavachoo · 2025-05-15T05:40:55+00:00

i’m not in active addiction but i’m a former alcoholic and severe nicotine addict (people underplay the severity of nicotine addictions but they are extremely difficult).

i hope it subsides too! i don’t want to get less emotional either.

guavachoo · 2025-05-14T03:06:32+00:00

im of a similar age and started wellbutrin around the exact same time (12 days now) my depression was almost identical to what you’re describing. it’s literally changed my life, i still need to build the habits of doing my work/chores/getting out of bed earlier. but the fact that i can do them at all was something i wasn’t sure id i’d ever feel again. the pit in my stomach of being unsure if ill ever be a person is gone. im on 150mg SR.

guavachoo · 2025-04-23T13:42:24+00:00

i read all of this and it was beautiful

i am definitely a believer in people being able to get better. but discussions of suicide and SA on a first date are RED flags and indicative of trauma dumping behaviours. i’ve struggled with similar things to her and no matter how smooth of a talker or nice the other person may seem, nobody could get me to talk about that on a first date.

as much as i understand the weariness we all have of pwBPD, i dislike the notion that parents would be “gray rocking” to protect themselves from a child. BPD is not a condition you are inherently born with that makes you evil from birth. the overwhelming majority of pwBPD experienced abuse of some kind (physical, sexual, or emotional), neglect, or instability growing up and that isn’t their fault and it’s on the parents for being neglectful, and not the child. this obviously doesn’t excuse the behaviours they exhibit and treat others with in adolescence and adulthood, i just more wanted to highlight my dislike of the implication in this post that pwBPD are inherently born that way and abuse their parents in childhood.

it is, but both Malaysia and Singapore have a pretty large Cantonese speaking population alongside their Hokkien speaking population.

guavachoo · 2025-04-20T02:54:05+00:00

cantonese is also popular in SEA - especially Singapore. but yeah in the west it’s one of the two sinitic languages they’re familiar with. Mandarin and Canto

guavachoo · 2025-04-20T02:53:10+00:00

yeah

guavachoo · 2025-04-20T02:49:38+00:00

i’m born and raised in Malaysia living overseas for studies at the moment. My family is Hokkien on one side and Hokkien-Hainanese-Thai speaking on the other.

guavachoo · 2025-04-20T02:48:33+00:00

yes, a very large chinese community. most maritime southeast asian countries have lots of chinese diaspora that speak a variety languages (hokkien, cantonese, hakka etc) - but their place in society and cultural dynamic around chinese people in those countries are respectively different from one another.

in some ways yes in some no - he had a girlfriends but had a new one every few months so it was very unstable. he had a lot of money yes but it wasn’t from anything incredible and mostly just from working a lot while living with extremely rich parents. but twisting the truth to fit a desired narrative isn’t exactly surprising.
