The Hermaphrodite: Yousuf Al Refal or Sara Nour Ahmei

In Egypt, Yousuf Al Refal lived life as a female name Sara Nour Ahmei - until the age of 18. At age 33, Yousuf reveals to media outlets that he was born as a hermaphrodite and this revelation has caused a riff between him and his family. In a article posted on the net, "He claims his relatives want him to live life as a woman to save his brother from military service in their native Egypt".

In His Own Words:

"I just want to live like a normal human being, just like everybody else. Ever since I can remember, I felt like a boy trapped in a girl’s body. I played with guns, I couldn’t understand why girls played with dolls. We had no idea such a condition existed back then, I thought that something was wrong with me. My stepmother has made my life very difficult all my life and I have suffered for years with her. On top of that she stood in the way of treatment to fully change to a man over the past years and until now. As soon as I found out this condition existed, I felt so relieved."
