CHAPTER 4
The odd tree spouts flowers at one time
and a nut pod at another time
a kwolaatmwol, a hermaphrodite
Men express trepidation that an uninitiated
son
might change into a girl
"It was
a constant struggle. I was sick of the androgynous routine.
I couldn't be a woman, so my only choice was to be a man.
If I stayed in my female body, the kids would have to hold that
dichotomy. I had to grow to be a man."
