Ryan McKenna always felt like a girl trapped inside a boy's body, but unlike many who suffer from gender identity disorders, Ryan didn't need surgery to become the female he believed he truly was.

As a child Ryan's mum Julie found small lumps on his chest, before a doctor said Ryan probably had high oestrogen levels, but would likely grow out of it over time.

At school, Ryan preferred hanging out with girls, and described himself as 'dress mad'.

Ryan is affected by a hormonal imbalance which can affect growth, fertility and behaviour.

Annoying how they switch pronouns halfway but at least they got it right in the end!

I always thought I might have something similar as I've always had a waist/hips and little body hair even though I'm 20 now but I had a hormone test which came back "normal" for a guy. Still waiting to see the dr to see what that means.

In this country many are raised as girls only to turn into boys after puberty..
