"But she also has CAH, which gave her the appearance of a man," Chinese University paediatrics professor Ellis Hon Kam-lun said. "

the CAH disease caused her clitoris to be enlarged, and possibly mistaken for a small penis. It was a cmbination of two different conditions that casued this.

Yes I know it was a combination. But now I see; it wasn't a penis at all, the article didn't mention that... Well I should think this person ought to have known something was very wrong, considering the lack of testicles, and, umm, you know, the fact that the penis didn't function like a penis at all. Would've been apparent every time he/she went to take a pee... right? Or, like, the sexual side of it all.
