“ The darkest hour is just before the dawn is an old proverb that’s intented to inspire hope in difficult or unfortunate time. The darkest hour is also the hour I was born, on May 29, 1968, seventeen minutes before sunrise. It turns out the saying aptly applies to my birth in more ways than one, but it would take me decades to realize this - decades to learn that my entry into this world was a moment of confusion that would raise questions about both my sex and my gender, the resolution of which was, unexpectedly, a blessing. For the first twenty years of my life I thought I was, physically speaking, an ordinary girl. “
