In response to my exciting discovery that I have a male brain (which nobody except me seems particularly surprised to hear), one of my colleagues, now in her 60s and a grandmother, confided that during routine surgery in her 30s they discovered a miniature set of male genitalia tucked away inside her. Where are they now? I said. Oh, about here, she said, waving in the general direction of lower left abdomen.
I have known for many years that gender is a fluid concept. But it seems that sex isn't that black and white either. I guess any trans-sexual could have told me that ages ago, if I had been in the mood to listen.
