When I was younger, my mother always watched talk shows like "Maury" and such, and occasionally there'd be an episode featuring hermaphrodites. Once my mom explained what a hermaphrodite was exactly, I was sure I was one as well because that at that time I thought that all girl's privates were totally smooth, like a doll's. I kept on thinking this until I was 11 or 13, I believe.
