Adele Markham has a rare genetic disorder called Klinefelters, which means she is not male or female, but both – known as intersex.
Born as Matthew, her parents were delighted to be told they had a son, after having two older girls. But as he started to grow into a toddler, the family GP noticed Matthew's genitals were not developing normally and said he would need surgery later.
