SEXUAL CONFUSIONS
Imagine being born with both male and female genitals that would be confusing for any adult now try to imagine that growing up as child not knowing your own role in society, I am sure this would not be easy for anyone dealing with this extremely sensitive life decision. As a parent you would have to determine how to choose the sex you will raise your child as and secondly if you decide to let the child grow and when they are old enough to make the choice of what sex they would be raised as.
This is what most hermaphrodites have to deal with; a lot of them do not know how to cope with these important life altering decisions. How would a person know which sex would they find themselves attracted to, I would say not such an easy choice, I would assume a lot of these people would seclude themselves and would not enter any sexual relationship due to the shame of having being different. Studies show that majority of hermaphrodites would choose to be female instead of male, even though they are not able to get pregnant because their reproductive systems are not fully developed and their male parts usually are not functioning at all this would add more confusion to this already crazy existence.
After reading this passage I gained a better understand and outlook into this world that knew almost nothing about, this reading really opened my eyes to this phenomenon especially with all the research and it shows these people are not freaks of nature and that they also deserve the love and understanding that all people deserve. They don’t need our sympathy just our understanding and respect for their choices. Our society has place stigma over anyone that does not look and acts like the rest of society’s norms.
