At 9:49 "The voice spoke to me and said you got as much right to be in this world as anybody else." That is a very powerful statement.

When Lizzie said God told them, "You got as much right to be here as the next", my heart melted. So precious ❤️

I'm from Louisiana, I understood "every" word, especially when Lizzy said she has every right to be here as much as anyone else. Heartfelt words from a brave person.

She’s such a likable person. I was thinking the doctor was going to be terrible because of the times, but he wasn’t at all. I’m glad he was so non-judge mental.

She was raised in a loving household, it's easy to see by her personality, good people

How hard it must have been for her. How lonely. Yet, still a gentle person.

I’m glad Lizzy was raised with unconditional love. What a beautiful soul. The world need more people like Lizzy

I am so impressed by the psychiatrists manner. Not patronising just so even and just lovely to listen to. She/he obviously feels at ease with him

“Religion and joining a church are completely different “ Lizzie is spitting truths there. God bless you Lizzie. 🙏🏼

I had a black Hermaphrodite patient in 1984. She was suffering from cancer and dementia. She was very sweet, but it broke my heart that she spent her life as a side show in the circus life. She was in a Ward with 8 patients in a Nashville hospital as they had no insurance. We had to keep an eye on her as she would throw the sheets back exposing her genitalia when visitors would come, shouting” come on over and take a look”. Poor soul had done that her entire life to get by. She had both, but the penis was very small. She answered to she. She was a virgin and never married. She was absolutely precious. I’ll never forget her. So heartbreaking that she never received medical help for her condition.

I loved listening to Lizzie talk. I am 50 and originally from Southern Mississippi and I miss hearing people talk like this. She sounds like my grandma.

As an intersex person myself, Lizzy story is very touching. ♥

My oldest was born intersex. It says male on his birth certificate. That is how he identifies. He is now 30 years old. I am extremely proud of him.

I absolutely love Lizzy and her wonderful father. He called her love because for him, that’s all she represented. Love. ❤️

My Grandmother had a Hermaphrodite friend when I was growing up. While she presented herself as a woman she was masculine in many ways. She always seemed so sad with her life. As a child I easily accepted her because she was a genuinely sweet person.

I am a native Mississippian living in Arizona now. I can help translate most of the missing parts. 3:15 - The last town she refers to is “West Carrollton” 4:35 - She began the sentence by saying “Well there was another one…” 4:53 - She was just stuttering through her words. Didn’t really say anything until she gathered the thought. 4:59 - She said “That’s when I come in there fooling with another one.” 5:10 - “…while she come to be here, head on. Think good.” 6:15 - I couldn’t quite catch that one. 6:30 - “Well that why the call me ‘Love’” 8:36 - “And that’s for me to make you an answer…” 11:00 - “I’ll tell you, what woke up things…” 11:07 - “…so many more…they told me to come back…and you know,so many make…” (she’s basically just stuttering again trying to get the thought out) 11:45 - “Tung Oil Truck”. Tung trees used to be a popular thing to grow in early 20th century Mississippi. The oil is used for coating/protecting wood. Also used in some electronics. Hasn’t been a big crop in Mississippi since probably the 60s or so. 12:00 - “I know that…I say that wouldn’t do…” 12:00 - “cutting paper wood” 12:35 - “I could look and tell a difference, but I didn’t make no difference out of it.” (The word “difference” is used in two different contexts within the same sentence here. “I didn’t make a difference” in that area is a saying something akin to “I didn’t care” or “It wasn’t a big deal to me”). Some of the grammar and words she is using is very regional and it still may not make sense to you. You have to grow up hearing a lot of the way she uses words being used in other conversations by other people before it will make sense. It may sound like nonsense to people who didn’t grow up hearing it. Hope this helped some people get a little more context.

She was a survivor. She wasn't aware of her own intelligence. She knew how to handle herself very well. Never attracting any attention or causing problems for herself. She would have been nice to know. ❤

Lizzy's family was very loving and accepting, the Father promised to care for her as long as he was alive. Beautiful story ❤️

Just came across this. Shout out the interviewer. He’s really good at letting Lizzie speak and very sympathetic. Lot of talk show Hostesses can learn a lot from this man. Rest well Lizzie 🙏🏾

Wow, can’t read or write but can carry a conversation beautifully, & even if you could not understand everything Lizzie said you sure felt it…. May Lizzie rest peacefully ❤

It's nice to see the friendly attitude and understanding of the interviewer. He treated Lizzy with respect.

How can’t you not feel love when you hear this beautiful human being tells the life story? Being called Love defined this person very well. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Lizzie's father's love is everything!

“I spent most of my life alone. If I went somewhere I was alone” That broke my heart

Lizzie plowing a round for her Dad when he went up to the house is one of the sweetest things. God bless.

I wanna go back in time to hug and help these people

50 years ago this condition often went untreated. This was especially so when patients lived in rural areas where there were few doctors and home births were attended by midwives only. It's amazing how well Lizzy developed coping skills and survived.

I really enjoyed watching this interview, which appeared more like a friendly conversation. It appears she was raised in a loving household that was filled with acceptance. Her daddy telling her he would take care of her as long as he lived 🥺💕

This is a person who was born different from the norm and accepted life and went on with it props to her.

I spent 20 years in the American South. Her gentle way of speaking was so pleasant to hear again. I'd have liked to hear more.

I grew up with a person who was both . Like Lizzy, a girl when young but when puberty hit she became he . Chris was his name . Thank God they let him go thru what his body would go through before doing anything. They moved to a neighboring town when he went from she to he and only those friends like us knew . This type of person are the only ones who legit have a trans issue. He was a great friend . He has passed away from cancer . I miss him ,😪

You can just tell she has lived a hard life. She deserved much more, especially considering what a kind person she is.

This is the second time I have watched this video and when I think of the courage it must have taken to live like this and not understand your own body or why you were made this way? When she said she almost took her own life, thank GOD for the voice of Christ telling her, she had as much right to live as everyone else! She had a respect for people, life and family. Stating, when girls spent the night, and they slept in her room and bed with her, she always turned over or avoided anything that would cause trouble or confusion. Bless

Oh my God, their accents, especially Lizzie's, take me right back to my Georgia childhood in the early 60s. They are just lovely.

She’s a beautiful, precious person. How hard it must hv been growing up w/ no medical , psychological care, yet at least was brought up in a loving, & caring home.

The LOVE that his father had for him was pure and unconditional 🥹 what a great man he was ♥️♥️♥️🙏🏽🙏🏽

My heart goes out to her. What an amazing person. If we could turn back time...rest in peace Lizzy. ❤

The Dr made this like a casual conversation. I really enjoyed the way they both interacted. I would like to see more of them both. This is a good lesson on how to listen and how to talk.

This is so heartwarming…she found her peace and love in her way. The doc is very kind and asks good questions.

It was so sad to hear Lizzy say that she spent her life alone. Everyone deserves someone to love them.

What a beautiful human being. Her father must of been a wonderful man. I hope Lizzie found peace. ❤

How can you not love Lizzy? She doesn’t see herself as a victim. She sees herself as, Loved❤ So do I.

I love listening to Lizzy talk. The accent, the tone, the rhythm and inflection are so comforting and pleasant to listen to. I want to listen to Lizzy read stories, specifically older southern stories. They are such a pleasant person personality wise as well. Very calm and relaxing. I know it's been mentioned multiple times already but Lizzy stating that God told them they had as much right to live as anyone else is such a beautiful statement and so incredibly true. It makes me a little sad that they are under psychiatric care since it seems the only reason is their physical genetics and not any issue with their mind. Actually Lizzy seems quite confident and comfortable and accepting of themself. There doesn't seem to be any mental health issue, although one interview really isn't enough to make a definite judgment call on their mental state. Based on their statements though, they seem pretty grounded and stable. I understand that this time period, being a hermaphrodite might be tied in with mental health issues, and I'm glad we have a better understanding now of those born intersex. I hope Lizzy got the best that life had to offer them and I hope Lizzy found peace no matter where they ended up.

Lizzy was a very intelligent person. People will judge someone on how they talk, but how one speaks means little to their intelligence..The Dr. Was so respectful to Lizzy, and shows her the respect as one deserves

What a lonely life Lizzy must have had. I have also heard mysterious messages like Lizzy did that were very timely and important in my life. "You got as much right in this world as anybody else" is so true and so beautiful. We are all being watched over.

Thank you for posting this phenomenal medical session. May Lizzie Rest in Eternal Peace 🕊️🙏🏾🕊️🙏🏾

This video gives me insight into some of the reasons people may be older and isolated without partners or children. As a social worker that has worked with many older women this knowledge could be helpful in being supportive.

So heartbreaking😢 I'm glad our Father talked to her. He doesn't say much to his children but when he does... TRUST ME it's loud and clear!! And we believe him🥰

the beautiful message is that lizzie knew the lord made her just the way she is ❤️

I'm so glad Lizzie heard God whisper that they have as much right as anybody else, and it gave them comfort

I’m in Mississippi and this was so interesting. I remember my late grandmother talking about hermaphroditism about someone she grew up with. I was so fascinated by it.

What I love about this interview was that there was nothing off limits for the doctor to ask or say. She answered all his questions matter of fact. She wasn't offended by anything and that's the wonderful thing.

Had I met Lizzy and after knowing her a while she told me her circumstances I would still think she is a wonderfully pleasant person and a joy to be around. Such a sweet natural spirit.

I'm from Mississippi, still live here, this is such a normal way to talk/hear others talk.

What a sweet humble kind soul Lizzy is, and their Dad too for understanding to whatever degree. That’s love.

You’re so right Lizzie… YOU DO HAVE JUST AS MUCH RIGHT TO BE IN THIS WORLD‼️❤️✋🏾🙏🏽👏🏾 Beautiful soul you are

Back in the day before the Internet out in the country if someone didn't want you to know ANYTHING it was so easy.. Total innocence

I adore Lizzy,she is truly genuine. I am so happy she heard the voice of our Lord tell her that she has just as much right as anyone else to be living on earth.He loves all his children,Lizzy included.

I really enjoy this doctor. He always treats those he interviews with dignity and kindness. It’s just like they are having a casual conversation. She’s so gentle and matter of fact. A very intelligent interview this was I’m lucky to have seen it

This video had to have been filmed sometime in the late 1950's or 1960's; as color television was prominent in the late 60's and 70's. Lizzie looks to be in her 50's; meaning she had to have been born around 1920 something or even earlier depending on her age in this video. It was very hard times during the 1930's as most likely she lived out the great depression years. Since she greatly helped her family in the field; I doubt very seriously if her being inter sex was ever an issue. The fact is; she helped her family during hard, gruesome times; and when everyone else left home, she remained. Her dad really appreciated her presence and her help throughout the years.

I really appreciate the way this doctor treated Lizzy. He was kind and she needed that. I can't imagine how hard life must have been for Lizzie and those like Lizzy. I pray for them all. So glad she got to know Jesus. I hope she lived a long happy, healthy life after this. Sounds like she had a wonderful father. My father wouldn't have known how to treat me if that had happened to me.

She was a Human Being..enough said..God rest your soul Lizzie

The missing word is learn, "the rest of them didn't want to learn" when Lizzie is talking about plowing. I'm glad Lizzie's family had love for them, especially their father. I think Lizzie had a hard life, but it was better than it would have been if they weren't surrounded by so much love from their family. That is a lesson for some folks today.

Lizzie is an easy person to talk to, with amazing captivating stories. I could listen to more interviews with her. RIP!

"You got as much right in this world as anybody else".

Such a kind hearted human being. I am glad the Dr was nice to Lizzie.

Lizzie is an amazing, inspirational human. And the interviewer is caring and attentive in his questions as well. Very respective of the story being told.

I usually don't comment much, but I have to say that Lizzy sure seemed to be a very kind hearted precious soul. I could honestly say that I could sit and listen to her talk for hours and hours on end if i had the chance. Rest in peace Lizzy.

I wish people had this much understanding in their hearts and minds these days that these two had way back then.....I haven't heard two educated people have such a meaningful conversation as this in years.

Such a sweet sweet human... Wish things had been easier back then.... Bless Lizzy

This is so touching. Melts my heart. What a beautiful soul. Hope her descendants know what a special person she was.

The interviewer asked probing questions with respect.Lizzie seems to be an extremely grounded person .Growing up with love and respect from his parents played an enormous role in his life's journey to self knowledge.Lizzie seems humble and sweet.

This is sad to hear her and yet she was accepting of how God made her. Bless her and may she forever rest in the loving arms of our Lord. 🙏

So many wise words coming from Lizzie. This has really touched me.

So glad to see lizzie treated with respect and compassion by the dr. They are usually so cold in these old interviews.

What a sweet person. This interview made my day.

This is extremely sad. I hope this person found some sort of peace. What a hard life to live, and I only heard the tiniest part.

Such a challenging life, but such a beautiful soul!!! Lessons to be learnt here. Just want to give this dear person a huge hug.

I wish more people would watch interviews like this and try to have compassion instead of hate for these folks. It was heartbreaking to hear of the loneliness and isolation along with never learning to read or write with only a grade or two of school .

Thank you to whomever posted this absolutely amazing medical session. May Lizzy be with their family resting in peace 🕊️❤

I was so glad to come across this medical video. I’m elderly now,..but when I was in middle school, there was an intersex person who I became friends with. I was her only friend in fact. I didn’t know about this kind of thing back until my friend told me. His/her name was Nelody. The parents were advised by doctors to wait and see how or which way the child’s hormones would lead to as far as sexual preference as an adult. Nelody was definitely already leaning towards the male preference and was binding his/her growing breasts, plus dressed in male style clothes. We parted after middle school, but I wish I could have stayed a friend for life. Education is key to understanding this particular medical situation. Back in my youth, you didn’t hear any talk about this,..not in school nor in most families,..at least not in my family. I never told my parents or siblings because they probably would have laughed at me for saying such a thing. I became a nurse as an adult and wanted to be as educated as possible about the human body, so that I could explain and talk to my own children about this particular situation plus a lot of other things in life. Do you know that there are still people who don’t believe this is real? Some still believe that sexual preference is a choice, but that’s not true. It’s our hormonal system as we form in our mother’s womb that dictates this. Some (mostly religious people) still believe that this is a sin and anyone who is born gay or lesbian are going to hell. It’s so unbelievable in these days and times that this is still not understood. Education and Communication about this and all subjects about life are very important and I truly believe is the key to a better future for all in this world. God Bless. “Acceptance and Love” is what we all long for and need.❤️

What a kind spirited soul 😊 The doctor treated them with such respect

What an incredible human being! Rest in Peace, Lizzy!

In 1973 I was 11. Lizzie was working with a traveling carnival. By that time she was quite thin. They let me in to see her. (Yep, I was an 11 year old girl). Lizzie told me her life story and offer to pull back her scarf, (over her genitalia) if I wanted to see. I declined, and she didn't push. I asked her a lot of questions about herself and her feelings. When I left, I felt so sad. Lizzie was indeed a woman. And she had the sweetest most comforting voice and spirit. I never forgot meeting her.

What a beautiful eloquent soul

Love the calling it courting, and the level of respect, and kindness in the way of there tone of voice. Today we lost this level of respect when talking. This person was raised very respectful My heart goes out to this person situation

Wish this could be brought into the media and educate our generation.

Her father 💓💓💓 what compassion in a time of much ignorance @13:33

What an incredible person - Lizzie overcame so much.

I appreciate this video, Lizzie's openness and comfort sharing her story - way back then - I think it's the humanity. The video has so much Humanity

Obviously, this video is 60+ years old, and Lizzy is no longer with us. That being said,....the most _important_ thing, with regard to this video, is; I hope that Lizzy maintained her *PEACE* throughout all of the rest of her days!

There are people like this still around, and some that think they are and are not..... There are many ways that some of us are sort of a bit of both, stuck in the middle. It's not an easy way to be... Makes a big difference to accept it deep down and live with it.

Thank goodness people today can be themselves. We all have known people like Lizzie along the way. Her honestly and strength really shine through. Back then, these people were teased and set aside. Lizzie is wise, very wise. I am unmarried live alone most of my life...its no big deal. Look at all the marriages that fail. It's just life.

What a heartbreaking video! That poor man raised back then, being so confused and not knowing why.😢 What a sweetheart, and he had to live life alone, truly heart wrenching. I would have liked to have known how his life ended up turning out. Hopefully he found himself and had much happiness

It was nice to hear this person speak. They were heart-felt and steady. Intelligent and humble.

God bless Lizzy. What a difficult life.

The doctor is very compassionate.

She was accepted for who she was and that is precious especially back in those days when people were more ignorant of such matters. It sounds like Lizzie was surrounded by love - such a shame that she has experienced so much loneliness😢she kept to herself which was a way of self protection bless her.❤

This was fascinating and really awesome to watch. Those two genuinely like one another.

Seems like a good and kind person. God bless Lizzy-Love.
