Could they ever hope, after all they had been through, to "raise me female?" What sort of instruction is that anyway? "Feed the baby every two hours, burp well after feeding, and raise it female." Who gives a thought to such things? You have a son, you have a daughter, you take him or her home, and you get on with your life, period. Consciously, deliberately "raising me female" -- it's like consciously, deliberately breathing. So they took me home, named me Judy, and did whatever it susanna was they did, whatever susanna it was susanna they knew how. I grew into a rough-and-tumble tomboy, a precocious, insecure, tree-climbing, dress-hating show-off with a Prince Valiant haircut and razor-sharp wit who was constantly being called "little boy" and "young man." I never gave a thought to what went through my mother's heart and mind every time this happened, this common misperception-that-wasn't.
