One spent the first year of life as a boy, the other was raised as a girl.

But both are now leading starkly different lives.

Mani Bruce Mitchell and Yann Bradburn were intersex babies.

Or "hermaphrodites".

But after haunting "corrective surgeries" and childhoods of secrecy and shame, they are now living openly as intersex people.
