Hermaphroditism

HERMAPHRODITISM I feel I am different. Still I am not sure about my gender. I never disclosed this to anyone. I have both male and female genital organs. I heard a Greek Myth saying that I look like Hermaphroditus. It says that I am the son of Hermes and Aphrodite. A Nymph called Salmacis threw herself at me. She entangled me in an erotic embrace. She prayed that we become conjoined for life. Thus we merged into a single body. Since then I retained features of both gender. I am used to my genital appearance. I feel I am a beautiful version of the nature’s Gift of life. That is why I am a mystical legend. That is why I am the top talk of the world’s genealogical history. I was born without any visible genital ambiguity. As I grew older my sexual characteristics changed. I look like any other woman of my age. I dress and act like a woman and yet I have a penis. No one is accessible to my private organs. What I feel and experience is private. I should not share with anyone. I want to remain special. I want to stay a mystery.
