Wow, it sounds like you have had it all. I was wondering about some
sort of gender issue, and perhaps you are one of those lucky people that
has everything? Perhaps some of our GYN specialists can comment. I am
not familiar with all of the different possible gender changes,
including being born looking like a man, and being a woman inside
(physically) or looking like a girl at birth and then developing male
parts in the teen years. It is more common than we think.
You might just be a female body, with very minimal external indicators.
I am happy you are happier with yourself. It is a very interesting
question.
