Anyhow: you were uncomfortable with your birth sex early in life?  

"I want to thank mature adults and my parents  For not letting me pick my gender while I was still eating crayons, glue, boogers and dog food. you lefties are sick!"

My grandmother canned the veggies she grew and used parafin aomehow. Better than tar once you got past crumbly phase: warming it? No boogers, ever in my diet but you ate them and you call "... lefties sick!"

Anyhow: you were uncomfortable with your birth sex early in life? I knew I was a boy and that made me different from my four sisters, but that was the end of it.  How did that feel? Did you want to wear dresses? Play with dolls? Tell us because I have aboslutely no idea how you and Lea thomas feel.

My opinion, your parents were right. Sex reassingment surgery doesn't change way most transgenders feel: somehow inadequate.
