Hart was diagnosed with androgen insensitivity syndrome — in which
the body is chromosomally male but doesn’t respond to testosterone… In
the film, she visits other people with intersex conditions, some of
whom have faced discrimination. Below, her high school photography
teacher, Chris, reveals how his own intersex condition — as a
teenager, he began to develop breasts — lead to merciless teasing and
ultimately a surgery he didn’t want.
