A Colorado man who was admitted to the hospital for a kidney stone received surprising news when the nurse came back with test results revealing he was actually a woman.
Denver photographer Steve Crecelius said he has felt a little different all his life. “When I was about six years old, I started having these feminine feelings, but that was in the 1960s. Wearing my mom’s makeup, I thought I looked pretty.”
So when he went to the emergency room five years ago, he was not too shocked when the nurse told him she found traits of both genders in his ultrasound results. He is technically intersex, meaning he had both male genitalia and internal female sex organs.

Steve, who now goes by “Stevie,” said his wife and their six children accepted his new identity right away.
Every one of them said, “We don’t care one way or the other. We love you for who you are and you’re still my dad.”
Crecelius and his wife, Debbie, have been together for 25 years and she has supported him every step of the way, including taking him to buy his first bra. She told Crecelius, “You know, when I first saw you, I said to myself, ’He runs like a girl.’”
For Crecelius, he hopes he can be an advocate for intersex and same-sex couples.

科羅拉多州一名男子因為腎結石而住院,卻在護士領回檢查報告時接到一個令人訝異的消息,原來他是女兒身。
丹佛攝影師史帝夫.克里塞勒斯說他這輩子一直覺得自己有點不同。「我六歲時開始有這些女性的感覺,但那是六○年代。我塗上媽媽的化妝品,覺得自己好漂亮。」
所以五年前他進入急診室,護士向克里塞勒斯表示,她在超音波檢查結果中發現克里塞勒斯有雙性性徵時,他沒有太過訝異。確切地說,克里塞勒斯是位雙性人,他有男性生殖器,體內也有女性的性器官。
現在被叫做「史蒂薇」的史帝夫表示,他的妻子和六個小孩馬上就接受了他的新身分。
每個孩子都說,「無論如何我們都不在乎,不管你是怎樣的人我們都愛你,你還是我的爸爸。」
克里塞勒斯和妻子黛比結縭二十五年,而他一路走來都有她的支持,包括黛比帶他去買第一件胸罩。她對克里塞勒斯說,「你知道,我第一次看到你的時候就對自己說,『他跑步的樣子好像女生』」。
對克里塞勒斯來說,他希望可以成為雙性人與同性戀情侶的擁護者。

Tangbao are one of the most internationally renowned delicacies, that win the hearts of both locals and tourists. Their charm lies in the paper-thin flour wrapper that needs to be folded evenly almost 20 times. Folding a tangbao requires skill to deal with a bulging filling and a thin wrapper. Tangbao are served in a bamboo steamer in which they are steamed, not only adding to the visual appearance, but ensuring they do not get cold before reaching the table. The best way to enjoy a tangbao is to dip it in a mixture of vinegar and soy sauce with
The Bank of Japan (BoJ) announced a seismic change in direction on March 19, hiking interest rates for the first time in 17 years. The move represents an unwinding of an ultra-loose — and maverick -- policy aimed at putting Japan’s “lost decades” of stagnation and deflation behind it. The last time the BoJ raised interest rates was in 2007, but its war against deflation began in earnest in 2013 under then-prime minister Shinzo Abe. “Abenomics” combined generous government spending and central bank monetary easing. The BoJ spent vast amounts on bonds and other assets to pump liquidity into the
Have you ever wished for an extra hour to prepare for exams or finish homework? In some countries, people actually adjust their clocks to gain or lose an hour, all for the sake of Daylight Saving Time (DST). Specifically, clocks are set forward by an hour in March and then set back in November. One of the primary reasons for implementing DST is to make better use of natural daylight so that people can reduce energy consumption. The concept originated with Benjamin Franklin in 1784 and became widely adopted during World War I. Today, this system is in place
For the first time, the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has fined a company for improper disposal of its defunct satellite. The satellite cable company Dish Network was fined US$150,000 because it failed to move an old satellite that was no longer in operation to a safe distance from others currently being used. The FCC had asked Dish Network to move one of its older satellites, EchoStar-7, 186 miles further from the Earth. However, the satellite had only advanced 76 miles before it ran out of fuel at the end of its operational life in 2022.
