This morning I was having coffee with my GG friends. We're a group of 5-7 women that meet every morning over lattes. I'm the only TG. One of them mentioned their daughter's pregnancy, which of course sparked the 'does she know what she's going to have?' question. 'She's certain it's going to be a girl'. The topic for the next few minutes was women's 'gut feel' about the sex of a child. It seems women have an uncannny accuracy for guessing the sex, and it gets more accurate on 2nd and subsequent births. Among my group, on their third child all of them got it right. None of them has a transgender child.
Here's the enigma. My mother guessed the sex of her first two children right. (boy, then girl). On her third pregnancy she was SO certain I was going to be a girl that she named me (Sarah), and had decorated my room. Guess what...she was only partly correct. She renamed me a male name, redecorated, and raised me normally.
It wasn't until today that 2+2 suddenly didn't equal 4. Is there any possibility that my gender status was not only predetermined, but predicted in utero by my mother? Just coincidence or has anyone else discovered this?-Celeste
