Woman With No Vagina Raising Funds For Op

A woman who was born with no vagina is targeting life changing surgery that will let her have sex with her boyfriend for the first time and make her feel like a ‘real woman’.

Doctor talking to a patient in his office

Kaylee Moats was born with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome, which means she has no cervix, uterus, or vaginal opening.

A Heartbreaking Discovery

The graphic designer, 22, said: “When I first found out about my condition my mom was with me at the gynaecologist.

“I was heartbroken and confused when the doctor came in and told me he didn’t see a uterus in the ultrasound.

“I was scared for the future because I didn’t know… how I would be able to have my own family one-day.”

Moats was diagnosed at 18 when she didn’t have a period and was visited by a gynaecologist.

She continued: “I would always wonder like where do you even put your tampon if I were to start my period.

“I couldn’t see where I could put it in down there. I still ovulate… it just gets dissolved into my ovaries instead of being released.”

Kaylee has been unable to have sex with her boyfriend as she just has dimpled skin where her hole should be.

“It took about a month for me to tell him that I have MRKH,” she said. “He was confused at first but supportive and said that it doesn’t change how he see’s me.

“He doesn’t really focus on the sexual side of our relationship because we can’t do anything… but I am looking forward to having a sexual relationship.

“I’m a bit nervous to have sex for the first time after surgery because I’m not sure if something is going to go wrong or if it’s going to hurt.”

Raising Funds

Ms Moats, from the US state of Arizona, is now trying to raise the cash for her operation. She can’t get it for free as her insurers consider it a cosmetic treatment.

“I have all the chromosomes so it’s not a gender or cosmetic thing because it’s not what’s outside that is different,” she said.

You have to love the American healthcare system don’t you?

If you want to donate towards Ms Moat’s $15,000 (£11,600) surgery bill, you can visit her GoFundMe page. Surely she has the right to have a life like any normal, healthy woman?
