Teenager who was born without sex organs reveals she's still confident about dating - but plans to have surgery to create a vaginal opening

The condition is more commonly described as 'intersex' and often those with who live with it find this term as a more helpful way to describe themselves.

A more clinical term is disorders of sex development (DSDs), these are a group of rare conditions where the reproductive organs and genitals don't develop as expected.

If you have a DSD, you'll have a mix of male and female sexual characteristics.

You may have sex chromosomes (bundles of genes) normally associated with being female (XX chromosomes) or male (XY chromosomes), but your reproductive organs and genitals may be:

• of the opposite sex
• not clearly male or female (ambiguous or atypical)
• a mixture of male and female

This occurs because of a difference with your genes and/or how you respond to the sex hormones in your body. It can be inherited, but it often occurs randomly for no clear reason.

The most common times to find out that a child has a DSD is at birth or during adolescence.
