age porro, parere si voluisset feminam, quid profecisset cum crearer masculus? cuius potestas nulla in gignendo fuit, cur hac sit potior quae iacentis miserita est, dulcemque sponte praestat benevolentiam? facit parentes bonitas, non necessitas.
Besides, suppose she had wanted to bear a female lamb, what good would it have done her when, as it turned out, I was born male? Why should she, who was powerless to determine what she should bear, be preferred to the one who took pity on me when I lay helpless and who now by choice shows me a kindness that makes me happy? It is kindness, not the kinship of nature, that makes parents.
