“People back then didn’t even talk about gay people, let alone inter-sex or any kind if birth anomaly,” Chandler said, speaking about growing up in the 70s. “Until I could really walk or talk no one was really aware of what was going on.”

For Chandler, there was no internal debate about whether or not she was a girl. She just was one. Leading up to preschool, Chandler’s behavior hadn’t provided too much cause for concern. However, an incident in the classroom forced her grandparents – who raised her after her mother died – to find out what was going on with their grandchild.

“I never said I wanted to be a girl; I just was. It wasn’t until I went to pre-school – and I remember that day specifically – they said girls line up over here, boys line up over here and I instinctively got on the girl line,” Chandler explained, adding of her grandparents, “Initially, I think they thought it was something psychological, so they’d take me to the doctor and it was kind of like a ‘screw his head on straight’ kind of thing.”

Eventually, Chandler’s grandparents came around to realize that they had a granddaughter, not a grandson. Despite their awareness about who Chandler was, there were times over the years – including after a sexual assault – in which she was made to present as a male.

“From kindergarten to third grade I pretty much went to school as a girl, even though my name wasn’t changed,” Chandler revealed. “Then the end of third grade, summer before I went to fourth grade, I had been molested. That ended, and I kind of had a mini breakdown, and when I went back to Florida, they cut all my hair off, switched me to private school and forced me to wear a boy uniform.”

As soon as she could, Chandler legally changed her name and had her gender reclassified on her birth certificate. Eventually, Chandler underwent surgery and has been happily living her life fully as a female ever since.

“It’s not as complicated as people may think. We all start off as female in the first trimester and we go from there. All it is is a reversal. They do penal inversion and reconnect to your cervix and your uterus,” she explained.  “For me, it didn’t really matter because my gender had already been reclassified on my birth certificate, so I didn’t need anything legal from them. My name was already changed as a child so I kind of just went on my merry way.
