And little slip-up during cicumcision. (cringe) Well, that gets you automatically transsexed. Or used to. I don't know what they do now.
Badly.
"As Nature Made Him" by John Colapinto relates the history of the child. They tried really really hard to indoctrinate the child into being female. It failed.
He's now living as a man and much happier.
Apparently, gender identity is more nature than nurture.
And then there are those of us who are perpetually in a gray area. A sort of (uh, what?) place.
When I was physically transistioning from M to F I reached an in between area. It was an interesting headspace - being bits of both, and I could see why some people get stuck at that point (aside the lack of money to finish the job.)
for having figured out your gender & sex and having made it over the divide. I didn't know you'd done it.
My perpetual problem is not understanding people as anything but thinking (sometimes) monkeys, or myself as either M or F. (check trews) Still look F. Situation normal.
I had a lover in college who did that transition, she had problems with funds to finish the job, and parents. And one now who would, but (TMI).
I snarl fiercely for the right of anyone to be whatever gender they want and any sex they want.
Or maybe I'm just vague on the whole damned business. ^smile^ It's none o' mine. Umm, why do people care?
You have told me something deep and new. I thank you. Love, good luck and godspeed to ye.

I sort of remembered also the circumcision slip-up boys having a hard time adjusting.
