Lindsey's Story

Many knew me as Gerald or (Jerry) Losby. I am now Lindsey Wadsworth. Intersex my entire life. Born both girl and boy I however identified as Transgender for a number of years due to not understanding who and what exactly I am. My Legal last name was not Losby. My Mother's Husband and My Mother had Me Baptized in the Losby name and used my Baptism Certificate for All of my Name certified needs. I had My Last name straightened out through court after High School. I came to the decision of becoming one Gender not two. At the Brisk age of eighteen, as I had hope of a very uncomplicated adult life. Upon that eighteenth birthday, My Mother Handed Me an entirely different Life than the one I thought I had. It was as I asked My Mother for My Birth Certificate to travel downtown to the Federal Courthouse and register for the Selective Service Draft as required by Law, that My Mother told Me; " Sit Down!" For the following 42 Minutes, I sat and listened and discovered I was someone completely different than I thought I was. I was a Lie! And not even realizing at that time, I was actually a dynamic Lie in absolutely every dimension. Finding out the man Your Mother was married to and whom You believed was Your father was no relationship whatsoever as My Father. I actually was not surprised about that particular factor however, the rest to follow was beyond My ability to even want to accept it all as any manner of truth. I was from that moment forward informed that my last name was not legal and I was born with a complete different name. My Mother I found out had a previous life to hide that She would only tell Me what She absolutely had to Inform Me about. Needless to say, I had to obtain an Attorney and go to court to have My Name legally changed into the name My Mother and Her Husband had provided for Me to use for Eighteen Years. I sincerely had no idea who I was. Little did I know at that time did I know I also had no idea what I was. After going to court upon several occasions with various attorneys at what I consider a young age. I finally achieved an Identity I believed I could live with by using My Grandfather's Last Name, " Wadsworth." Also discovering additional ugly particulars, three days after I graduated Highschool; I made My way to the Greyhound Bus Station and I left My old life of lies behind. I pursued a good Education as well as much employ Experience in Various magnificent employment opportunities. No matter what I attempted to do, I felt Something just was off! Not quite correct with Me personally. Only studying Psychology would I discover what exactly Gender Dysphoria is. I had no genuine Childhood to spring off from into Puberty and then Adulthood. Yet I had a determination to never again live a Lie in any perspective or form. I never had any idea who My Father is. He most likely never knew I even existed. Yes, My Mother went to Her Death with Many Secrets. Unfortunately, Mom's Hidden Sins we're catching up with Her after She passed. As I unfolded all the Paperwork , locked up in My Mother's Cedar Chest for so many years passed, I cried and became angry as well as disgusted. There was paperwork defining for four and a half years up until the age of eighteen and a half, I received weekly testosterone injections believing they were Allergy desensitization injections against my angioedema. And there it was! I was also born a girl! Not just a girl , but girl and boy! I am Intersex and someo...Expand for more
ne had My girl parts sutured up when I was only one month of age. My Mother actually attempted to sell Me for fifty dollars on the streets of Atlanta Georgia during the first two weeks of My life. I had been through several failed marriages and many failed relationships to the point I refused marriage ever again. Hazel however came into My life and when I kept My commitment for truth forward, I explained My Intersex condition and as I explained it all; Hazel proclaimed She Accepted the unacceptable! I always endeavoured to speak truth in all aspects of My Life. When after a seriously botched Exam by an angry Urologist, My lady parts Opening burst open overnight. I woke up with blood between My legs and I was terrified as I cleaned up. I knew I had to tell Hazel but even though she was My wife, I had huge fear that She might not want to remain my wife. However I had already been bold enough to take her at her word that She wanted Me to be happy and live as the Woman I was. So I told Her and I showed Hazel with a round mirror. I had been honest and truthful and Hazel eventually did ask Me for a divorce with prompting by Her Family. We stayed together through it all however and in the last weeks of Her life, Hazel wanted us to be Re-Married. Alabama had the new law and we did. And Hazel was so happy! Hazel told everyone in the hospital that we were Re-Married. I was Honest and Truthful and Hazels Daughter had Our Re-Marriage Annulled. Yes and Hazel Died without Me with Her! Hazel's Family took over everything and since I had put everything in Hazels name, her family took it all and I no longer had a home. I thought back to that day upon My Eighteenth Birthday of that feeling I had when My Mother told Me, " Sit Down!" I could feel that exact same wrenching feeling deep inside of Me as I did so many years ago. But this time I was living the truth. And as the Deputy Sheriff stood there observing as All of the Locks were being changed and I was told explicitly I was no longer allowed into the Home; I worked hard to show no emotion. I did not shed any tear! I knew there would be plenty of time once they all left and I could go to my little area I had built for Me to have as My legal separate address and cry. They even boarded Me up with only one door to enter and exit. And I was informed I no longer could live there. Looking back, I sincerely have no idea what My life has been about or what for. I quit living a Lie at age eighteen! I had no problem telling people I was Intersex when I found out. I was outed by everyone I had ever married. ; surely they knew something was different about Me! My first Wife took Me to see the Documentary film, about Transgender Women shortly after we were first Married. I'm no longer able to define which direction My Life shall go. A few years prior before Cancer surgery and Recovery and surgery due to a serious vehicle accident, I could tell anyone exactly what and how I would be able to do what I needed to do to start over. I can no longer do that. There's a good deal I can no longer do now but, I can most certainly tell the Truth and not Live in any Lie! I am still Writing My Book and when the day comes that I actually do finish it, I will box it up and send it off to the Publisher. I am already a Published Author. I Love My life as the Woman I am and honestly, I always have been. My Dear Wife Hazel passed away just days after Her 70th Birthday. I am now a Widow.
