Is it normal to be confused about your own biological gender?

I'm just going to come out and say that I was born with an intersex disorder. A wider used term would be hermaphrodite. I had some corrective surgeries when I was still young and I was raised as a female, but I'm pretty sure that whatever they did to remove the male-ness inside of me didn't completely fix everything. I have to shave my face once in a while because I have way to much facial hair for a normal girl (I could practically grow a beard if I wanted), my breasts are pretty small, and sometimes I just don't feel very girly. Is this normal? Do you think I should see if there is any other things the doctors could do to make me more female?

    You should see your doctor. Obviously, you still have some testosterone. Did the doctor ever give you hormone blockers?

    Given what's happened to you, I think it is very normal to be confused about your gender.

    Do you want to be more female? if you do then you should talk to your doctor.
