Intersex Person interview-Richelle 

Right. It was like reading a good book.

Look you are a woman through and through. .people are really jealous of such successfull people, especially in small little towns, small minded people.. wish I knew you. Good luck in whatever you still do girl.❤.

IMO, her story has been very well rehearsed and rehashed throughout the years.....

I actually paused this video, stopped what i was doing, made a coffee and just sat listening to a really captivating story right to the end.

@@LisaDawnn and what is that supposed to mean?

Yes!!

She needs a page on this internet.

Yes, please do a part two 🫵🏼🏁🫡 Thanks for Part One.

Ya, I think my most favorite interview & I've been on the channel for a long time

I smell a documentary

I agree!! I could have gone much longer listening!!

Same here! She is amazing! 🥰❤️

I say she needs to write a book!

Yeah so we can ask pointed questions about her fabrications

What an amazing interview! She is sooo interesting

She seems like a sweet person

God bless her always

Me too!

Me too

@user-sh5qv5kv1r, I wish someone would have saved you too. Growing up is hard 💪🏽

It might have been either cancerous or would very likely become cancerous. But yeah, it's definitely not something to do lightly. The fact she was 9 makes me feel like it was a health issue that became about due to the different hormones

​@charlottemiller7675 if you listen to her story, the Dr admitted the reason they did it was because she presented with both organs and her parents wanted a boy, so they figured they'd "make" her one.

@@caitmlp I did listen to the whole thing but I don't think that was in reference to the hysterectomy. That seemed medical. According to her statements they picked which one that wanted much earlier on as is common in with ambiguous morphology of the genitals

i agree. unnecessary surgeries on intersex children should be criminalized.

That was a different time. Up until the 90’s it wasn’t uncommon for doctors to make parents “choose” their intersexed child’s gender to make it official on a birth certificate. They believed incorrectly that nurture (how you raised a child) trumped nature (chromosomes/physical/hormonal/brain chemistry). We now know it is so much more complex.

❤🙏

Yes that doctor that said "i dont do sexchange" amazing

But one dr took her womb!

😂😂😂

@@karendavidson6272 "let me finish, I'm only 2 minutes into the story"

Me too!

😂😂😂

Right now I am in deep grief over the passing of a close friend , someone whose family has always felt like my family. I've known him for 45 years. And suddenly he's gone. But I found myself laughing when she said her dad was from Kentucky. There were many times I laughed and I am more than thankful. I know someday life will get back to normal but until then, these moments will help heal my heart.

Mark is anything but rude. Questions out of curiosity and to define what this person has. She's a bit rude . Respect is earned.

@@juleestoner3939agreed she didn’t need to be snippy.

​@@shaunalea823She was not rude.. Mark was.

He was focused on his "story hook" = the intersex piece

​@@davidhibbs6989You're projecting your own Daddy issues.

Dang, this woman is Amazing & Awesome & I wish her the VERY Best 🤗👍🌻⚘️

This is a beautiful, strong, talented, wise woman. And she has been since birth. Shame on the evil parents. Shame on those ignorant high school peers. All they had to do was read up on this subject. I wish I could meet her, for I believe she has much to share. It is my hope that God leads her to write a book.

God bless this woman and family she is a strong wonderful lady, she makes me proud and happy.

Her childhood is heartbreaking. Why any parent would treat their child that way is just horrible! God bless this sweet lady, she has been thru hell!

What a beautiful woman inside and out! ❤

This woman is a warrior! Hold your head high, you are an inspiration, never stop being you!

Day by day... GOD was watching over you...❤ and, through all the heartache, and neglect, you emerged a Hero... !!!🎉 You've found your calling ... your PURPOSE... ❤ many are those, who're better off, because you extended LOVE... not HATE...!!! ❤ Your story is painful😢 yet .. so inspiring !!!!! 🙏 The World must hear... !!!

You are an amazing Lady, and a inspiration to all women God bless you always ❤🌹

I really like this lady. She sure has had a heck of a cross to carry in this life. I hope when her time comes, as we will all face one day, she goes directly to heaven.

What is her last name so I can look her up! What a fascinating story

wasn't is seven not seventeen years??

Yes married for 7 years.​@@DaniStenko

I couldn't figure out her age either. Didn't add up or how old her son is.

​@@DaniStenkoseven years when they adopted their son. She stayed with the scumbag another ten years. 7, plus ten, is seventeen.

It really was refreshing

She was an incredible speaker and storyteller. Thank you for sharing her life story with us.

She doesn’t sound so sensible to me, with her religious stuff and hatred of pornography. And I bet the same kind of opinions can be found in people throughout this country - they’re the same people who are trying to stuff their beliefs down all of our throats, using changes to our legal system.

Yes very. She was great ❤

@@Ceerads I like how you're ignoring how her faith carried her through her struggle to bash religion. Not to mention porn really doesn't benefit anyone except the ppl who make it and even then it comes at a cost. And as it goes for the rule making bit I agree but it's a reaction to how they were treated when more "liberal" powers took control.

Me too. I came seeking an education on one subject and found myself schooled on several. What am amazing life she has lived. ❤

Amen!

🤍

She honestly is my hero. Wow. To spend a day chatting with her would do my soul good. Mark, more of these I reviews with incredible humans!! 🎉

She's amazing, and her story is yet another reminder that something has got to be done about child abuse. Child abuse should be discussed as much as all our other important world issues like climate change, war, income inequality, etc.

This happens to many intersex people when they’re young. Even today.

​@@breannalaughlin6002yes it does but far worse in the 60s as no one had the internet to read the truths,then they made their stories up ,as she said about those 4 people defaming her name.when she ran for office. God bless her...❤

Remember so many did not understand what interested meant. The cruelty is unacceptable but the lack of knowledge is understandable.

​@@breannalaughlin6002Not any worse than infant cercumcison.

Sometimes you think you have problems until you hear the problems of other people it's only the grace and mercy of God that brought this dear soul out of such a horror of hell, God bless you sis, God is still using you to give hope and assurance to others.

I 💯 agree!

Ikr. I wish i was as positive & ambitious as her.

She is so brave and strong. I wish I had her drive.

It’s true Thank you, well said 🫵🏼🏁

Wonderful film

Yup 👍🏼

Same ❤

​@@germainewright7348❤❤❤

yep she is no joke

Agree!!!

Want the opportunity to hear more from Richelle. If it's not too creepy and you're reading this post, it would be great to talk more. Not so tech-savvy so I don't know how to make that happen other than to start a conversation with Richele here. Is this possible? Thankful for your courage and forthright sharing. God has certainly helped you in SO many ways!❤

Yes, she is amazing and a great story teller.

She said very plainly that she was always a female. She just had stupid people around her. (But not now). I live close to Indianapolis and Lafayette IN, and I would love her as a friend.

Yes,dealt with a lot of bs & she is still level headed

To say the least!

I get scapegoating as well.

She is a woman. She is not in some gray area between male and female.

it feels like the warm comforting and nurturing presence of a grandma telling stories exactly. A well seasoned, strong, wise woman to listen to and learn from is always so special

Yes same feel that's because she tells the truth ❤ it gets to you feel all she suffered what an amazing woman came out of all so strong went through hell her parents treated her so badly but just goes to show what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

I agree.

She’s also a straight female born female. Weird need to label yourself as if she’s other.

"her"

@@STFU1_1 I meant all of the interviewees he talks to.

@Warriorofchrist34 I know, I meant all of the people he interviews, I appreciate that he just lets them talk, no interruptions.

He did interrupt and was pretty rude

@@smnewstead4093 yes, he did - he thought he knew more about her than she knew about herself - he shut up rather quickly when he realized who he was dealing with - she brought him down a few notches - hope Mr. Know It All of All Things learned a lesson.

She basically married her father

​@@lavernemusicyour absolutely right she did...I hadn't thought of that until I read your comment. Bless her heart,the pain the suffering shes had her entire young life,but look at this wonderful woman,she would have gone far if her parents had treated her with love and respect. Plus in political field she would have been a force to be reckoned with ,if only those 4 jealous wicked people had allowed her to live her life.... ( I know the heartache jealousy can bring) Brave Brave woman,she had God in her heart ,he had his hand in hers... What an incredibly resourceful wonderful lady. I wish her and her son the best health and life she can have moving forward.❤🙏🥰♥️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Her story is so sad I am weeping 😢

Right? Such a tiny portion of this story was related to being intersex. It was about LIFE.

Great interview and what an inspiration.

Me too. I am glad that there are individuals that explain and express their difficulties and eventually make their own decisions of what is best for them instead of foolish parents.

passive aggressive asf lmao jus say youre talking about addicts and that u have no empathy for addiction . just say it

Ok, I will say it: how many prostitute and drug addict stories can we hear?! They are just different shades of the same colour, so to say. It isn't a matter of not having empathy for these persons, it's just that we have heard and seen the same song and dance on this channel for years re: drugs and prostitution. Sometimes, we crave something with a different flavour.​ What's so wrong in that?! @@Abishhhhh

​@@PhysicalGraffiti97 lactation can be medically induced - to a certain degree.

@@PhysicalGraffiti97omg dude google is your friend🤦‍♀️induced lactation has been around since antiquity, smooth brain. Just because you never heard of it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist💀

​@@PhysicalGraffiti97 That came out of your butthole, estrogens and androgen have been synthetically produced and used in the medical community for well over 80 years.

@@PhysicalGraffiti97 It's hard work, but lactation can be induced. I know women who have breastfed their adopted children. Ask La Leche League about the process. And do your research...it was happening in the 70s for sure...I was there.

Amen ❤ ​@@maryansel932

Why do you invoke a god because someone bares their soul?

I love this woman! God bless her! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤❤❤

@@jabe3780why is your name jabe?

Why do you ask, goose?

I'd watch that movie

I completely agree.

It's insane. This poor woman.

Richelle is a breathe of fresh air. She's blessed to be here to give her Testimony with the world. Thanks for sharing your Amazing life with me. Faith is always the best way to survive

I too agree. I was horrified when I heard that. 🤬

Right?

I thought out of most of what I have watched on this channel this story was absolutely amazing and the I agree with you she is just fabulous and I wish I could hear more stories from her ❤❤❤

Same here🥰

I think this is what they call having "True Grit."👍🏻😁

Me too

Same!

❤❤❤

Aaron

Save me a chair! ❤

​@@debramason1898 Same here ❤

Captivating

I'll bring my own chair and a casserole!

I’ll bring some strawberry lemonade in case the sweet tea runs out!

Spot on the Best interview I Have watched on this Channel An Amazing Life Story from an amazing Lady A Real Star ⭐

One of the best interviews. Where is her book or movie?

I cackled when she said that!!!!!!

"... a rose that grew from the concrete..."! I love that.

@@DrummerGrl001 thank u 😊

I'm sorry you had such a rough childhood. My home life was almost the same growing up. An alcoholic, abusive dad who beat my mom daily. I can relate to your story. You are not alone.

It's wonderful you have come through your trauma so strong. You will give hope to many others. Thanks for sharing your experience. I wish you every happiness in your home, work and community life. Greetings from Ireland.

I think she is my hero! I wish I had half the confidence and presence as has❤️

If you've trusted the gospel of grace for this current dispensation of grace (Ephesians 3), then you are an Ambassador for Christ (2 Corinthians 5:20), commissioned with a "reconciliation ministry." God tells us His will clearly in I Timothy 2:4, "Who will have all men to be saved, and come unto the knowledge of the truth." Once we trust the gospel, He wants us to come to the understanding of truth according to sound doctrine, which involves "rightly dividing" the scriptures (2 Timothy 2:15). We must separate prophecy from mystery doctrine (Israel's law program from the church the body of Christ's grace program). When you do this, you know what God is and isn't doing. God is not micro-managing our lives. We receive "spiritual blessings" only (Ephesians 1:3) in the dispensation of grace. 2 Corinthians 5 tells us all about our reconciliation ministry. We preach the gospel and propagate Pauline sound doctrine. Paul said, "teach no other doctrine" in I Timothy 1:3. So, God is not going to tell you "His will" for your life because He already told you in I Timothy 2:4 what His will is. However, how you make that happen is up to you. The gospel that saves: Christ DIED for our sins; He was BURIED; He ROSE AGAIN the third day. This gospel is found in I Corinthians 15:1-4. Ephesians 1:13 tells us when we simply HEAR this gospel and trust it, we are sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. Colossians 2:13 says we are "forgiven all trespasses." Colossians 2:10 says we are "complete in Christ." Salvation is a free gift received only by grace through faith because there is "no boasting" (Romans 3:27, Ephesians 2:9). The King James Bible is God's perfectly preserved Word according to His promise in Psalm 12:6-7. Grace and Peace, my Friend.

God would not give you a message to tell people they have dirty, filthy hearts. We already all know this. Every single one of us knows this because God gave us all a conscience. How did God tell you that we sinners need to clean our hearts? If it was God, He would have told you to tell people the gospel that saves. No one can clean themselves up; they must trust how that Christ DIED for our sins, and that He was BURIED, and that He ROSE AGAIN the third day for our complete justification. This is the only way a person can get saved - by trusting Christ's death, burial, and resurrection as atonement for their sins. (I Corinthians 15:1-4, Ephesians 1:13, Romans 3:27, Ephesians 2:9). King James Bible.

And yet she is not! She displays none of those characteristics!

I work in a highschool and this is 100% how the kids are in band and drama.

@@shelliesmith6564 how so?

@@stacyschuessler9028 hello thanks for your comment. Answer your question, I go over my answer each of the instances where I believe several instances

True. I was very happy my kids also gravitated toward music and theater kids.

BRAVO🙏

I believe the term Hermaphroditism Birth defect. But now parents discuss with Docs

Agreed. Im 63, and this was the first i hv ever heard this term.

The right-wing anti-LGBT morons in particular could learn something from watching this. Nature can be sometimes be nuanced when it comes to gender - it's not as black and white as they seem to believe

@@cozettalandry3429 It used to be but that term is considered ignorant and not used any more.

I need to wake up soon for work… I’m awake needing to see the end! Lol

babyg****** me too I thought oh I'll watch 5 mins just to see....I didnt take my eyes off the screen,until it finished. So many people have such privileged lives yet complain, moan,she pulled her socks up and showed everyone...this will not define me Brave Intelligent gentle kind hearted woman,even after the start of life she had.. Shame on her parents she needed love not beatings.❤🙏🥰♥️

Me too! I need to go to the grocery store, but can't stop watching.

She sure is. Not many people can keep my attention this long. The whole video.

Same​ @@candyflair7946

They treated her like crap because she was not the son they wanted. :( The others fit into the parents' mold of what boys should be.

My mother treated my sister exactly opposite of me. I was her punching bag. Little sister was her angel. It happens every frikin day.

This is a very interesting video to me I’m 56 years old and my mom would always tell me her stories of how her mom always treated her like the black sheep and treated her sister like a princess..very disturbing for me to hear my momma’s stories 😢

Scapegoat Theory - as related to family dynamics.

It happens.. unfortunately..

Not just "considered a micropenis," she had further surgery to feminize her genitalia when she was an adult (after a forced hysterectomy at a young age).

She's a literal reason we respect a person's preferred pronouns.

@@Qualinesta I have to disagree with you in as much as you should be polite towards someone, but are not obliged to believe their 'truth' - it depends on the person in question and the extent to which someone's self-identity impacts others. It is sad that many societies have shoehorned people into binary states.

@@edelgyn2699 The person in question - the point of all of this - is an intersex person born with male and female genitalia. To what extent does respecting "their truth" (whatever that means) impact others? Keep in mind, we don't normally know what's in someone's pants.....

She said she peed through "the thing" so it was not just an enlarged clitoris. More so like a penis.

Glad your mom had the gumption to leave. Good for her!

Its stil going on women bear the brunt of taking care of raising kids and all work that goes with it. Now they also are trying to jiggle full time jobs..overwhelming still for women. Still doing it all

I truly believe the female is the stronger of the genders. Of course not physically but emotionally and mentally.

Oh yeah, back in those days men loved to blame everything on ‘women’s lib’ just like the Incels today blame their inability to socialize on feminism. It’s so important that young women never forget how terrible it was before feminism, it can never go away.

Your story was my story. I lasted 19 years.

love her and the one liners!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I DIOT

And they had five.

@@terrytownsend5583 Want a cookie?

@@stache1954 Ridiculous...

​​@terrytownsend5583 can't properly type idiot... the irony... I genuinely hope you have a responsible adult looking after you

❤

please excuse a forward question, but how did they know that removing the ovaries was the right thing to do? as opposed to removing the testicle or just leaving the child to grow up naturally as long as everything was healthy and functioned okay?

@@gmle843 great question

that's a female then

Having worked for a medical Genetics office, there were many women in the Westchester NY area who were giving birth to children with "Ambiguous Genitalia".

I read your comments a lot and I must say - your life sounds absolutely bonkers! It's a miracle you're here ❤

I'm confused

Vile.

Her mother was a jealous old ****..imagine wanting to hurt your kids 😡😡 shameful.

Coocoo

The Bible says otherwise contrary to popular belief. The Bible says to use righteous judgment.

I relate, too. Parents from Ky. Things are either black or white.

I hope this channel reads this and gives you a chance to tell you story ❤

Hi, I came acroos your comments and what really caught my attention was I'm sorry for your loss and I want you to know that you are not alone and life is too short not to share your testimony, anyway we all have some challenges and trial somewhere in our lives. Thank you, for sharing yourself to us..take care now..

@@weemarie1137 i am writing a book. Hope to have it out next year. The SLE make’s it difficult to accomplish goals. I feel it is important to share my life story. Perhaps will help others. We all agreed to come to earth with a mission. Even animals sign an agreement and cone with a mission. Earth and humanity are in a time of great changes. We must stay positive and in love & light. White buffalo calf born recently in Yellowstone. A sign to our Lakota and world that better days are ahead. We have a few tough times but will come through to the light. I would love to hear your story too. We are all related, my sister. I send you love, light and hugs. ❤️🙏🌹.

Agree amazing story. I have SLE, too. That is a hell in it's self.

Yup it doesn't add up, I knew she was lying when she said she had no vaginal opening just a urethra then said she menstruated. Not possible.

You forgot Philanthropist. lol

Somebody truly alive basically

@@ewap789 Yes!!!

@@friendbrookmeadows Oh, Yes, that, too!!!

Haha that’s a pretty dope story actually. Props to your Dad for being such a G about it Unfortunate you had to go through that initially, seems things worked out okay in the long run though?

Love your drumming in Blondie.

She had my admiration until the last 3 minutes of her story..

so... a futaegle the B is silent

?

Do you know if she can be found online, perhaps videos of her singing or being in plays? Thanks.

Nobody cares ☠️

In my humble opinion, Richelle does NOT need protecting. She is no longer that little girl. She is grown, mature, highly educated, and free to be herself. I think it's narcissistic to think she needs you to protect her.
