Supermodel Hanne Gaby Odiele has revealed she was born intersex.
She has XY chromosomes more typically found in men. She was also born with internal testes.
Her parents were told she may "develop cancer" if these weren't removed and they might stop her from becoming a "normal, female girl".
Now Hanne is campaigning for better education around medical treatments given to children who are intersex.
"We are extremely grateful to have her join interACT's efforts in strongly advocating for the protection of intersex children from harmful medical treatment and surgery," said InterAct Executive Director Kimberly Zieselman.

That's like being born without an arm.
You're not some new breed, you just got fucked by random chance.

Man I wish I could have my balls on the inside. I accidentally sat down on them once and it hurt like hell.

Well it's a lot less debilitating than that. You also don't grow body hair apparently.
