I of all people do not have issues with how one id's. I do feel like we all at some point and time we have all traveled some of the same roads during our journeys.
Earlier in the day I had a conversation about the same words. Most people use the wrong term anyway.
The definitions were straight from one of my medical books from school.
Again my apologies.

I know you weren't trying to being offensive, the Intersexed folks who I know who have spoken out do not use those medical definitions to describe themselves, for they have said they are not deformed or an abnormality. We have to remember there are people behind these definitions and I will go with what they prefer to be called, Intersexed. Which again isn't the topic of this thread, but thank you for the apology.
