"The story you are about to read is true, the names have been changed to protect the innocent", as well as protect my safety and anonymity as a medically altered Female Hermaphrodite.' ?+ l4 S9 \4 T/ ?# H6 M
In my short forty-nine years, I have practiced most of the organized religions and found them for the most part devoid of the Creator's footprints. Moving on, I tried out the more primitive ways to spiritual enlightenment, through hallucinogenic drugs coupled with vast amounts of pain.
- y2 D0 I( E" W, N' [" @2 k6 b& ~I first experimented with simple self-repeated piercing of my nipples and genitals from small sewing needles to large hatpins to heighten the spiritual experience. Then I moved onto the more rewarding though painful forms of self-genital mutations, such as using a knife to cut my nipples near in half, as well as slice open the head of hated penis as well as the sides of the bond scrotum. In the end I used fire as the ultimate purifier, taking up large candles to burn the surface of the skin, as well as hand bent coat hanger wire to brand and sear deeper into the flesh. However having not reached my goal of complete purification and atonement for being born a freak, In desperation I made several attempts at complete self-emasculation to rid me of the evil boy parts.& s+ b" s7 l R' O' K; M- ~
In the end, after countless hours of pain and agony, I found that, I am what I am, as Pop Eye would say, and if someday I find a way to rid myself of the boy parts, it would be great. However, until then I will perform the tasks that I believe the Creator created me to do, and find a way to be content with how She made me, as well as continuing to serve and take care of all those souls that in some way need my help.

I must admit that using some of the best high-end cameras of the day, he took excellent nude photographs for his rich clients as well soon became a heavy supplier of illegal images in the local underground **o market. Yet, he also shot a lot of independent action photos, car wrecks, and the like, for the local newspapers to give the impression that his photo business was legit.: H! x. a6 C3 }7 |% x3 T
Having no scruples what so ever when it came to sex, my blood father would photograph whatever the client would pay for. For instants the clients might want shot a simple roll of playful nudes of a client's wife, to spice up a flagging marriage, to revenge photos of a drunken ex-girlfriend to show to her male friends. However, his specialty lay in taking graphic erotically charged photos of say a rich man's young mistress and or favorite hooker, for his eyes only and far from the eyes of his aging wife.

# {: O8 J2 i% L' z, i2 a9 \All through my childhood right up to my thirty-fourth year of life, I had no Idea I was born with what is now called a gender nonspecific deformity or hermaphroditic. I only knew that I had always felt wrong in the male clothes and social roles my mother and society force upon me.
& \8 K7 p O! U6 zHowever, a few months before my thirty-fifth birthdays, my life took a one hundred and eighty degree shift upside down. It all started when I began to experience a series of sharp pains on both sides of my lower abdomen and when the discomfort caused me to faint one night while buying cigarettes at a local neighborhood store. The kind Oriental owner that knew me from my patronage, called 911 and the paramedics promptly transported to a nearby emergency room.

It did not take more then a few minutes of his looking at the ultra scan of my lower abdomen, before the lab worker removed the paddle off my gel slick belly, stood up, and walked out of the room muttering something I did not catch. Well as for me, I felt a cold sweat break out on my forehead, and I remember thinking to myself it must be bad for him to walk out like that, or worse something deadly like cancer.

However, a few minutes later the lab worker came back into the room, flanked now by a smartly dressed doctor, that I had not so far met. Getting right down to business the doctor instructed the lab worker to repeat my belly scan while he watched the small black and white screen, and to my surprise as he watched, his lips curled up in a slight smile.
$ p+ z6 \4 H1 RApprehensive of this grinning medical practitioner, but still suffering from a great deal of pain, I did not question further. Just swallowed the pink and blue pills he handed me, downing with a small paper cup of water. He then asked me politely to get redress, and quickly hustled me out of the hospital, and into his personal car, talking my ear off, as he drove me at a high rate of speed, across town to his private gynecological clinic./ {( s2 h/ Y+ G V& s0 w

Whether these physical reactions were due to the pain medications in the emergency room, or some other drugs he slipped into the tea he gave me at his office, I do not know. However, after informing me that I now sat in the office of the private gynecologist clinic he ran for his rich female clients, he had me move to sit next to him on his brown leather sofa, and then bombarded me with hours of questions.% E. e& V+ d2 @1 K, C0 f0 w2 y

As the night hours wore on, each added medication the doctor gave me, eventually caused brilliant colors to swim like tropical fish before my eyes.

He dragged from my brain personal information I had never told a living soul, until at last his drugs and persistent sexual questions, caused me to pass into a deep non-dreaming blackness that lasted a good thirty-six hours.3 @0 u) O# R# ~* a+ S: ^
Satisfied that I knew nothing of my hermaphroditic condition, he told me later that he had wrapped me up in his raincoat, carried my unconscious body out to his car, and taken me to his home. For the next thing I can recall, is formed by a single memory of me laying in a full sized bed neatly dressed in a long pink nylon nightgown, under pink flowered cotton sheets, and a mountains of quilts.

After several more days of his sexual advances that I seem powerless to prevent, my doctor finally got around to informing me, in a most clinical manner. That from all the tests he had run while I had slept f, he could not say with an certainty that I was born a genetic male, nor could he say I was a genetic female. For by some quark of fate, I was born possessing the sexual organs of both a normal male and female, yet somehow residing in a single body.
