“I remember I used to wear a little red dress,” he said. “I was born at home instead of in a hospital. They didn’t know what sex I was.

他说：“我记得我以前穿着一条小红裙。我是在家里出生的，不是在医院，所以他们也不知道我的性别。”

“I went to school and I used to wear my skirt. I never liked to dress as a girl. When they bought me girls toys I never bothered playing with them. All I wanted to do was play with the boys.”

“我以前上学的时候总是穿短裙，但我一直都不喜欢穿成女生的样子。他们给我买女生的玩具，我都不喜欢玩。我只想跟男生一起玩。”

The rare genetic disorder occurs because of a missing enzyme which prevents the production of a specific form of the male sex hormone - dihydro-testosterone - in the womb.

这种罕见的基因缺陷之所以会发生，是因为母体子宫内缺乏一种酵素，阻止了一种雄性荷尔蒙——双氢睾酮的产生。

All babies in the womb, whether male or female, have internal glands known as gonads and a small bump between their legs called a tubercle. At around eight weeks, male babies who carry the Y chromosome start to produce dihydro-testosterone in large amounts, which turns the tubercle into a penis. For females, the tubercle becomes a clitoris.

子宫内的婴儿，不管是男是女，体内都会有被称为生殖腺的腺体，双腿间也会有一处隆起被称为结节。在婴儿大约八周大的时候，携带Y染色体的男婴儿会大量生产双氢睾酮，让结节发育为阴茎，而女婴儿的结节则会变成阴蒂。
