DUDE IS A LADY!

Here's my 'WTF' moment of the week! This might sound like a really bad joke, but here it goes. So, this guy walks into the doctor because he was suffering from abdominal pain. What he was diagnosed with was pretty stunning. He found out that he is genetically a woman! Did you get all that? HE IS A SHE!

This 66-year-old Chinese (go figure!) patient, who was raised a male and is short in stature only standing 4 feet, 5 inches tall, was able to grow a beard, and has sexually ambiguous genitals, with a micropenis (Sounds like he fits the stereotype!) and no detectable testicles. That's what the doctors at Hong Kong's Kwong Wah Hospital noted, anyway. 

When doctors examined the man further, they found that he has internal organs of a female, and that his stomach pain was caused by a large, benign ovarian cyst. The patient was said to have a rare combination of Turner syndrome and congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). Turner syndrome occurs when a female lacks two X chromosomes, while CAH affects the production of cortisol by the adrenal glands. Both can interfere with the development of reproductive organs and the appearance of secondary sex characteristics. What the hell?

One doctor stated, "The patient, by definition, is a woman who cannot get pregnant. But she also has CAH, which gave her the appearance of a man. It's an interesting and very rare case of having the two combinations. It probably won't be seen again in the near future." Only six cases of a patient with both Turner syndrome and CAH have been reported in medical literature. 

The patient intends to keep living life as a man and may undergo hormone replacement therapy. Here's what I think; It sounds to me that when this she-male was born, China was in the middle of their one male child rule, so the family decided to raise the child as a boy, so they didn't have to get rid of her. I mean, who has no balls and thinks they're a boy? And what the hell is a micropenis? This story is just NUTS! Or lack there of!
