Would you like to be a Hermafrodite?

In the reading for Tuesday it expressed that changing or correcting genetical screwups for gender is wrong. I disagree with this because I think of how the victim would feel and have to live with knowing that they have both male and female genitalia. Personally I would have liked to be changed. I would not have to want experience that awkward conversation that would have to be had with a boyfriend or girlfriend before having sexual contact. And if the conversation was not had the embarrassement and/or shock from the other person when they realize that something is definetely out of the ordinary. Or also as a child when changing for gym class. I would feel almost ashamed of myself if someone found out because of how cruel the other children would be and certain rumors that would be said. I am not sure I am the only person that would want to be surgically changed at birth if I had a choice either.
