Life's Turning Points

In everyone's life there are points where a decision or event changes the entire course of one's life. Mine has been no exception. I suppose my birth was the first major one. Apparently I was born a hermaphrodite. That's right, someone born with the supposedly extremely rare condition of both male and female genitals. The decision must have seem easy to the doctor who delivered me, just sew up the labia and toss a blue blanket over the area. Afterall, it must have seemed a no brainer at that time that being a boy would be vastly superior to being a girl and back then no one had a clue what gender identity was, babies were supposed to be a tabla rasa, a blank slate for life to write on.
