Mikey Chanel is now four months pregnant
A teen born with male genitalia and raised as a boy has become pregnant after finding out she has a working ovaries, a uterus, cervix and fallopian tubes.
Mikey Chanel, 18, was raised as a boy, but always felt ‘he’ was different from his male peers.
Tests done on Mikey as a foetus in his mother’s womb revealed him to be a girl, so his family and doctors were surprised when he was born with male genitalia.
“It was obvious to everyone that I was different right from the start,” said Mikey, who lives in Boston, US.
“At age five I’d be playing with my aunt’s purses and putting on my mum’s lipstick.
“I never felt like a boy. I was quite effeminate and I never really went through a whole ‘boy puberty’ thing.
“I only have a tiny bit of facial hair. I’ve always had a feminine-shaped body, with hips and a butt.
