In every way, Johnny is physically and biologically male. But, astonishingly he did not grow a penis until he hit puberty. 约翰尼无论在外表上、生理上还是其他各个方面都是一个男孩。但令人惊讶的是，他到了青春期才长出阴茎。 He is one of many children who live in Salinas, an isolated village in the southwestern Dominican Republic, who are seemingly born female, only to become men in their teenage years. 他住在多米尼加共和国西南部偏远的萨里那斯村。那里的许多孩子出生时看起来都是女孩，到了青春期才会变成男孩。 Although Johnny’s story may seem extraordinary, cases of little girls turning into boys are so prevalent in the village that it is no longer considered abnormal. The children are simply referred to as the ‘guevedoces’ – which literally translates as ‘penis at 12’. 尽管约翰尼的故事听起来匪夷所思，但这种女孩变身为男孩的事情在这个村子里却很常见，人们已经见怪不怪了。这些孩子被称作guevedoce，字面意思翻译过来就是“12岁的阴茎”。 |
