When The Next Tile Comes Across The Board

Dear World,

There comes a time in your life when it seems all the
pieces on the chessboard have you checked and you're so
close to being mated. I'm still relatively young (16) and
my 17th birthday is coming very rapidly (May 4th) and then
I'll be 17...I feel so old. I'm getting very resonating
feelings in the negative motion towards it all but it's
not just my biological clock ticking that makes me at
unease it's something more engraved, something I don't
really speak out about besides trying to explain my
situation towards people that are curious and ask me
questions.

You may be asking to yourselfs, "What do people ask you
about?", It's very plain and simple like a canvas to a
novice artist...I was born with a "defect" as (some people
may say) but to me it's a double edged blade. I was born
as an hermaphrodite, someone born with the physical parts
of an masculine spirit and an feminine spirit.

Many people are very igorant in the fact that there is
other people besides what you typically see. There's kids
in Africa with one eye, one leg, different diseases and
looks. Yet we here in America stereotype and scorn those
who are "different". There is darker shaded people, people
with albinism and many other traits that I could list on
and on...

People always tell me why did I "CHOOSE" this life? How
could I CHOOSE? I mean really; Was I in my mother's womb
WISHING and PRAYING to be born an way that would make my
life more difficult then it would already have to be?! NO.
No I didn't. Nor do other people in the LGBTQI community.

Our world seriously needs to grow up and know that through
are "differences" it only makes a bigger, more vibrant and
lavish painting then to only paint the canvas with black
and white...'Cause obviously there is a gray shade in the
middle.
