After five weeks of study and surgery, they weren't any closer to the truth; mine was a fuzzy picture. Not even the almighty gene provided any clear answers, since it was discovered that I was a mosaic, with some cells in my body having the XY genotype and others having XO. The decision was made to raise me female.
Ok, I'll admit that I stumbled upon this after looking for pictures of hermaphrodite genitals to terrify the guys #disrupted with. But I'm also going to call out Tab, because he started it.
This is a very interesting article about a hermaphrodite/intersex person's life of trying to figure out what his or her sexual identity is. A quick read, very engaging.

numbers stations - Posted by tab at 08:39 AM
Numbers Stations are creepy and mysterious radio stations that broadcast nothing but voices reciting strings of random numbers, letters, etc. 
Not so much music, but these are quite interesting and mysterious. I think we blabbed about it in the channel at some point or another and there was a collection released.

Numbers stations are shortwave radio stations of uncertain origin. They generally broadcast voices reading streams of numbers, words, letters (sometimes using a radio alphabet), tunes or Morse code.
The voices that can be heard on these stations are often mechanically generated. They are in a wide variety of languages, and the voices are usually women's, though sometimes men's or children's voices are used.
Evidence supports popular assumptions that the broadcasts are channels of communication used to send messages to spies. This has not been publicly acknowledged by any government that may operate a numbers station, but in one case, Cuban numbers station espionage has been publicly prosecuted in a United States federal court.
Numbers stations appear and disappear over time (although some follow regular schedules), and their overall activity has increased slightly since the early 1990s. This increase suggests that, as spy-related phenomena, they were not unique to the Cold War.
Seems the consensus is that these are encrypted messages for and by spooks, but the variety of voices and odd additions denote some sort of creativity, to me. They often include music and strange effects.
