I think what you are doing is wonderful
I am watching The Truth of My Sex on OWN and had to email you to say that I think what you are doing is wonderful. Everything you went through as a child was horrible, but it spurred you to go on to help so many other children and their families who are now struggling with the same issues.
I have 3 daughters who were born healthy, without any of the issues described in the film. Nevertheless, I am so grateful that you chose the career path that you did, and I wanted to write to say Thank You. You took something painful that happened to you and turned it into something incredibly positive and life-affirming. I think that’s fantastic, and I wanted to let you know.
Best regards, Lisa
I just wanted to say, I watched the documentary Me, My Sex, and I last night on BBC – I live in Ireland. I thought you were really inspiring and very sensible! I had a son who was stillborn and we discovered from his post mortem that he was intersexed. I will always wonder how he would have felt and feel that this aspect of him is one of the very few pieces of concrete information that we’ll ever have about him so it is of huge interest to me.
I thought, watching you, that we could have found some really good role models for him had he lived.
So, thank you very much.
