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. The
imbalance can pose serious psychological problems for those affected,
but with support from loved ones, these issues can be overcome.
