Imagine growing up in a body that does not fit the standard norm of a girl or a boy. You were born with ambiguous genitalia – neither male nor female. Imagine growing up a girl, then realising, at adolescence, that you do not have a uterus or any reproductive structure that defines a woman. As your peers animatedly share hearty stories about their first menses and the discomfort that comes with breast ‘buds’, your chest remains as flat as a pancake, with no signs of spotting.
