For musician Eden Atwood, there have been few signs of the dark secret
concealed within her body. A secret so seemingly monstrous, Eden
wasn't supposed to know.

"If my mother didn't think I should know, and my father didn't
think I
should know, and the doctors didn't think I should know," Atwood said,
"I shouldn't let anybody else know."
"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." Oscar Wilde

Even if she had known and wanted to change something,
there's nothing really that can be done physically,
besides mastectomy about it. But, I hope she got estrogen supplements
or her bones would not be good...

Since AIS is not really a mystery condition, I wonder what the fuss is about!
