Not Exactly
Tonight! On Larry King Live:
Men who have surgery to become women, women who become men. I go inside the world of transgender people.If only. Suppose I glue a rhinoceros horn to the middle of my forehead, then I'm a unicorn, right? Or am I only a rhinoceros? I'm so confused.

post a commentSay I'm a karyotypic XY with alpha-5-reductase deficiency. This means my Mullerian ducts don't fully develop and my Wolffian ducts are allowed to develop more than a man's without this enzymatic problem.
I have what to the naked eye is a vaginal opening, along with an extra-long clitoris (which is actually my penis), which isn't really discovered until I hit puberty, thanks to prudish parents and inattentive pediatricians. So, I'm raised as a girl.
I'll never have a menarche, obviously; I do have testicles, which will never descend and will probably become cancerous at some point in my life. My question is - do I get hormones and surgery to appear female, hormones and surgery to appear male, or neither? Also, am I a unicorn?
I think you're a rhinoceros.
I don't know who you are, but I'm quite sure who you're not.
