What would you have done in this situation?
Post Body

So awhile back I was being introduced to new people, I have learned that if I am asked about myself and people genuinely want to know I will try and share everything I can since they are unlikely to just run into intersex individuals. People generally have mostly the same questions and are most of the time very polite and understanding. I will generally have an ex or a current SO who can answer for any "you cant be intersex" so they can say "intersex is accurate" this has always been sufficient. That day I was asked the usual questions and this woman says " no you cant be" my partner explains that yes I am its not something that I could fake, and she insists I "show her" and when I say part of it is difficult to see she says "ok let me touch it". I had known this person for maybe an hour and barely knew there name! I was dumb founded, I absolutely denied this request of course and tried to compromise that I and my SO answering as detailed questions as the person wanted. Was not good enough, it caused me to really not want to be open with people, but I realize that is not fair to the dozens of people who have been kind to me. Part of me wishes I had just done it, she would not have been able to say shit and at least I would have shut her the F UP. God damnit things are so frustrating sometimes. Anyway what would you have done? Did I do the right thing? Since this has happened I have refused to be around the person, so I dont know what if any follow up there is. I look forward to hearing your thoughts! :)
