A very good friend said to me once: "I know what you mean... Me, personally, I'd have been exceptionally happy to have been born a full hermaphrodite. Even though I look so masculine on the outside, I'm very much both on the inside."
This gets me thinking. Being happy to be a hermaphrodite. The more I learn about being TG and what not, the more I have to wonder at what state many people in transition cross the point of being a hermaphrodite in some way. Even more so than that, I wonder if there is even a sort of gender dysphoria that is diagnosed as something like MTH or FTH transexual: Male to Hermaphrodite or Female to Hermaphrodite. So much about binary sex and binary gender makes me wonder if there is a psychological classification for hermaphrodite in a male/female body, and if there is SRS for this situation. People who are born genetically presenting one binary but are emotionally and psychologically "dual", and desire SRS to make their bodies match their gender.
Do any of you out there who have been around the TG scene long enough have any experience with this? I'm actually very very curious about and interested in this, if anyone can help.
