MRKH 25 years ago and way before google could tell me what it was. My then new girlfriend, had reached a point where I should know the secret about her body. MRKH was the condition, but I didn't hear the 4 letter word then, just no kids together, Her body looked great and felt normal to me, I already had a daughter in my life, so wasn't an issue. As the relationship deepened, still not an issue, perhaps a shadow over us, from the poorly delivered diagnosis and changed consequences not the person I loved. Queen Charlotte's outreach engagement helped and lightened the weight my wife carried, which was better for me. Busy activities in our lives, career changes where we didn't have to fit into school proximities. Stupid people being smug and ever more stupid, delivering insensitivities. Where I was not oblivious, I saw the hurt and wounding, wondered at what a stress for my lovely wife. Tried to help, best intentions, broad shoulders, protective, but big feet often insensitive. Now older it is a different time. Positive BBC news stories incoming, a wider connection, an informed community, a shared journey. MRKH Connect a game changer.
