From early in my life I had no respect for women. Why? The answer would not be evident till latter in my life when I decided to get clean. First, I was jealous and envious of other women because they were whole women and I was born with this defect between my legs. Two, displaced anger, I was angry at men and society more so angry at women because they allowed this testosterone driven society to dictate what was acceptable and because of my external look they expected me to be a “Man� I have no reason to hide nor do have any reason to be ashamed. I am telling the whole world my story, though we who have suffered have come along way there is still a lot of miles to go. I will not back down, give up or jump through any hoops by any self serving, egotistical doctor. I do not have a gender identity crisis I know I am a woman, I have a birth defect, irregardless of how it happened it dose not change that it happened and to sit there and tell me I need to act more woman is a joke, have we not suffered enough with being told how we are supposed to act!
