Ways of Womanhood: Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser Syndrome with Ally Hensley

Helloooo, and welcome to Season 8 of Mads World! You're about to listen to Ways of Womanhood: Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome with Ally Hensley!

This week I am joined by author, speaker, ghost-writer, content creator and stigma shaker of the best kind, Ally Hensley. As a teenager, Ally Hensley discovered that she had been born with a rare condition, Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome (MRKH), resulting in the absence of a womb and a vagina. Discovering her infertility just months after her sweet sixteen, Ally had a job to do: create a vagina from scratch. What followed, was a life of destruction, abuse and, as she says, a societal head-tilt asking, “do you look like Barbie down there?”

After recently writing her debut memoir about sexual hang-ups, bad date blunders, and relearning what school never taught her, she decided to smoke out the shame, by telling her story to the world.

Now, Ally is on a mission to debunk the myths around what it means to be a woman.

In this episode, we discuss what MRKH is, the options presented to those with the syndrome, the feelings that one might experience after diagnosis, MRKH and fertility, the importance of options and what it can mean to be a woman.
