Then expand it just enough to look inside with the endoscopy camera and later the other tools.</em></span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Palatino;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">  “You have a full and complete Vagaina, Courtney. Your Cervix appears properly formed, nothing different from what I expect from a genetic female. Relax, this will take a bit. First, a smear for the usual things that can go wrong and then another for the geneticists.”</span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Palatino;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><em>Insert the brush that takes tissue scrapings for a pap and <abbr title="human papillomavirus">HPV</abbr> analysis. Then another for the genetic analysis.</em></span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Palatino;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">  “Now something much less usual. I’m going to look inside your cervix to see what we find for a uterus.”</span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Palatino;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><em>The endoscopy camera slides inside her cervix and I look around.</em></span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Palatino;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">  “Your Uterus also appears as I expect for a genetic female. And it appears you’re close to having your first period. That’s technically a build up and then discharge mucosal tissue from the inner lining of the uterus. I won’t look further because the tissue buildup obscures the openings for Fallopian tubes though they appear to be present. I am going to take a sample of the mucosal tissue.”</span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Palatino;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><em>That’s a bit more difficult than cervical scrapings yet I manage to get a nice sample into the tube. Then withdraw the endoscopy camera followed by the speculum.</em></span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Palatino;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">  “And that is that Courtney. One more I’d like to do, a rectal to examine what if any prostate is present. The imaging will tell us where your testicles have gone.”</span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Palatino;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><em>Change gloves and lubricate one finger. Carefully insert a finger into her rectum and search toward the front for where I expect to find a prostate gland. Her penis twitches at the stimulation.</em></span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Palatino;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">  “And one apparently properly formed prostate. Males have those, it’s where sperm from the testicles issues into the urethra during an orgasm. The primary clamp for urine from the bladder is also in the prostate.”</span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Palatino;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><em>Withdraw my finger. Wipe excess lubricant from around her rectum with tissue and remove the gloves. Set the equipment ot the side. Take her feet out of the stirrups. Pull the gown down to cover her and then help her sit up again.</em></span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Palatino;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">  “Not too bad, eh? So what I find is except for no obvious testicles, your genitals are properly formed male and female genitals. I’m going to guess imaging will discover testicles inside your abdomen. I suggest you be extremely careful to not become pregnant. We don’t know that you can’t and until we know these things better, please don’t take chances. If you’re sexually active, have your partner use a condom. If you have sex with a female, I suggest you too use a condom. Your sperm may be viable or it may not. We don’t know until I get laboratory results. Okay, you can get dressed now. I’ll be back with an order for imaging and to answer any questions.”</span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Palatino;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><em>I leave her alone again for a few moments.</em></span></span><br/>
