A woman with both male and female sex organs lived as a man for over 40 years because her parents didn't tell her she was born a hermaphrodite for two decades.
Caroline Kinsey has lived almost all her life as a man as her parents hid her intersex medical condition from her until she was 19.
She underwent surgery as an infant and was brought up as Carl John Baker.
But after years of mockery at school and assuming that 'everybody's body looked like hers', her parents finally revealed the truth about her condition when she was 19.

A WOMAN born with both male and female sex organs has spoken of her delight at beginning her life again - as a lady - after having spent over forty years as a man.
Caroline Kinsey, 43, was brought up as Carl John Baker.
But it wasn't until two years ago that she was finally brave enough to go public with her female persona and wear women's clothing.
Now Caroline admits she is much happier living as a woman after feeling suicidal as a man.
