Re: so am I still apart of lgbt even though? - October 26th 2011, 11:39 PM

I think accepting yourself is more important than trying to label yourself, especially in a situation like yours where you don't fit existing labels. As long as you're comfortable with yourself that's the most important thing. Maybe intersex should be included in LGBT or maybe it will eventually be expanded to include intersex.

As for where to draw the line as I understand it the difference is that transgender people develop as one gender and identify or feel like they are the opposite. Intersex aren't biologically male or female, but instead are somewhere in between, but usually look more like one or the other, or identify as the gender they feel fits them better. I heard that there are actually 5 gender identifications, but in modern society we use only 2 of them.

If you feel like you fit with LGBT, but not completely that's ok. There really is no need to try to categorize yourself.
