Four years ago, when my college put on a performance of the Vagina Monologues, I saw it as an opportunity to finally share something that I had kept inside me for several years—my MRKH diagnosis. With permission of the director, I wrote and performed this monologue. It not only helped me get the word out about MRKH to my community but helped me along immensely in my healing process. As I practiced saying the words over and over again, I started to believe that what I had written was true—that I could be whole, even without a vagina and uterus.
