Donate to help buy a vagina
Woman born with no vagina hopes to raise funds for life-changing
A woman was born with no vagina after being diagnosed with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser Syndrome - and is now trying to raise money for life-changing surgery.
After never having a period by the age of 18, Kaylee Moats visited a doctor who examined her and found that the young American did not in fact have a uterus, cervix, vagina or vaginal opening.
Moats and her family, who live in Gilbert, Arizona, were heartbroken, particularly given the news that she will be unable to have children.
The 22-year-old told Barcroft TV that she's sad that she can't have children, adding that it makes her feel "less of a woman" because she "canât do what women are supposed to be able to do".
Moats is hoping to raise funds via a GoFundMe page to fund a reconstructive surgery that will create a vaginal opening for her.
Moatsâ sister Amanda wrote on the page: âThere was nothing worse than getting that phone call and knowing that my sisterâs dreams for her life were changed so drastically in an instant, with nothing I or anyone else could do to make it better.â
The surgery costs a $ 15,000, which Moats revealed her health insurance wonât cover because they do not consider it to be a life-saving treatment.
So far, $ 3,500 has been raised to treat the condition, which affects just 1 in 5,000 women.
After hearing the news, the Northern Arizona University graduate was hesitant to tell her boyfriend Robbie, unsure of how heâd react.
However, he has been incredibly supportive thus far and is even planning on donating a portion of his salary to help fund her surgery.
âWhen she told me, I already had grown to love this person, so itâs not going to make me love her any less,â he explained in the clip. âIâll be there every step of the way. Iâm amazed that she hasnât let this define herâ, he added, âshe inspires me everyday.â
Friends of the young woman have been quick to offer their support, as Moats explained that several of those closest to her have even offered to carry her child as a surrogate.

Adoption is always an option. Many are in need of homes.
And it's probably a blessing in disguise. Earth is already overpopulated as it is. Oh wait.....she can't have sex?
Well.......anal ain't THAT bad. If Jed can get used to it, so can she. Women are said to have a higher pain threshold anyway, to compensate for childbirth.
But how does she take a piss?
oh hi there thanks for bump
I'm sorry but how did it take you that long to realize you didn't have a vagina â?
Also what dat mouf do

Yeah ummmmm I don't even know what to say
there's been a few articles popping up about this on the internet, most of it is basically along the lines of letting her get a vagina so she and her boyfriend can have sex. a lot of pics show the boyfriend and parents looking very uneasy. not sure how to feel for this...
If you want the womb than you must pay.
Posted by neighborIf you can't buy yourself a vagina you probably can't afford to have a kid. Js.

Ok I had to look this up and am STILL baffled. How does one not know they lack a vaginal opening until the age fo 18 in this day and age? She's 22, which means she only figured this out FOUR years ago (so 2013).

Mayer-Rokitansky-KĂźster-Hauser syndrome
...an anomaly that belongs to class I Mullerian duct anomalies
There are two different form of this syndrome:
-- the typical form (type A) of this syndrome is characterised by the congenital absence of the
uterus and upper vagina with normal ovaries and fallopian tubes
-- the atypical form (type B) of the syndrome includes associated abnormalities of the ovaries
and fallopian tubes and renal anomalies

now if there is no vaginal opening; that is something different (misleading thread title) than having no vagina.
but even then urinating; discharge and menstrual blood is problematic ...
pretty sure she is only missing the vaginal opening and still has her urethral opening.
Posted by DistilledYeah I mean by age 16 if she didnt have a period, her family and doctor would notice.
And how does one urinate, or anything else along those lines? Where does trac go?
What about hormonal changes in the female body- so some parts of body go through puberty, but others don't?

Being a woman unable to conceive naturally is not unique. Plenty of women deal with infertility.
Posted by rabidtalkerIt still doesn't seem like enough $ $ for that. Seems more likely her go-fund-me efforts are a scam.Posted by LadyNeptuneThey're not giving her a uterus or ovaries, just a little cut into a cavity.

Kaylee put off seeing a doctor for a while thinking she was a late bloomer, but alarm bells rang when her 12-year-old sister got her period and she still hadnât.
She said: âIt does look exactly how it should look like, everything looks normal the only thing is I donât have the vaginal opening â itâs just a little dimpled skin where the hole should be.
âIt was hard being around people in high school and college when the girls would bring up their periods or talk about their pregnancies and kids.
âA lot of the time they didnât know I had the condition so if someone asked if I had a tampon I would just say no and kept quiet.â
The surgery, called vaginoplasty, will create an opening and then vaginal dilators â specially designed plastic tubes â will be used to stretch the opening.
But the surgery is considered a cosmetic surgery and is not covered by Kayleeâs insurance.
Her sister, Amanda, has started a Go Fund Me page to raise ÂŁ12,000 for the surgery.
So far she has raised about ÂŁ3,000 â with Robbie donating ÂŁ40 from each of his monthly pay checks.
Kaylee said: âThe fact that insurance considers this a cosmetic or a gender surgery really upsets me.
âI have all the correct chromosomes of a woman so itâs not a gender or cosmetic thing because itâs not whatâs outside that is different.

Posted by DistilledNot necessarily. Her body seems to have physically and hormonally developed along the lines of a traditional female/woman.

In her case, it seems that her vagina and uterus didn't form completely, but she can still be considered to be female based on her own physiology and genetic makeup. It would be no different if she was born a woman without a fully developed hand.
It would be kind of funny in a twisted way if she took the money after all was said and done and got a boob job instead.
Posted by DistilledShe actually knew something was wrong before her boyfriend it seems. She met him after she had already found out about her condition. So yeah I'd assume that her vaginal canal is severely underdevoloped, but everything else is working properly.Posted by ChuckcemI wonder if in general her vagina canal was underdeveloped?Posted by DistilledNot necessarily.

It seems that if there were no doubts or questions surrounding her part on a level that would raise red flags (from what is given to us)- everything could seem/look fine- until she met her bf.

What I find weird is that she never had a period and NO ONE thought to take her to a gynocologist before she was 18. She started questioning things when her sister got her period at the age of 12. Makes me think this particular family isn't keen on discussing sex and health.

So some girls will get their periods later than others. And also means periods can be stopped; to a degree.
Great point on sentence, either way.
I wonder who helped her sister...
Are they all biological, do you know?
