"PHILADELPHIA (RNS) In the basement of Arch Street United Methodist Church, Nicole Santamaria shared a story of hardship, love and transition.

Santamaria is a Roman Catholic intersex woman from El Salvador. With her mother, Vilma, looking on, she recounted growing up in an unaccepting family, country and religion. "Intersex" describes those born with some combination of male and female sex organs."
