00:00This is Morgan. She fell in love with Curtis.
00:05I was born an intersex woman and that is when you're born with female and male parts.
00:12After sharing their romance online, people questioned Morgan's identity.
00:16People think sometimes my husband is gay because I'm intersex.
00:21Someone said, that's a man we know. Girl, go seek help.
00:26Dude in a dress with a gut. That was when I was pregnant.
00:32What are we making, honey? Chicken and rice. Oh, yummy.
00:38I'm Morgan and Leah. And I'm Curtis Williams.
00:42People always make the wrong assumptions about our relationship.
00:46They have a lot of opinions, unfair opinions.
00:50We met on the dating app and I was at work.
00:54And he reached out to me and I was just so happy on break.
00:58And I replied to his message. We met after work and we literally just talked all night long.
01:04He was very polite, just a gentleman. And that's what first attracted me to him.
01:11We met on a Monday. On a Friday, we were engaged.
01:17I would say we get a lot of love and a lot of hate from people that don't agree with us.
01:24But as long as we love each other, that's all that matters.
01:29I was born a hermaphrodite, an intersex woman.
01:33And that is when you're born with female and male parts.
01:37I do have ovaries. I have the same full on everything.
01:43And you can either conceive or you can get someone pregnant.
01:50It's weird, but it's how I was born. I've come to love it.
01:57Growing up, my mom, she raised me as her son.
02:01And it was tough with that because I felt forced.
02:06I felt like I was kind of pretending to be something that I didn't feel.
02:11I just felt more woman.
02:13So she raised me as her son up until I was able to go to college and live on campus.
02:19And that's when I found more of my woman and really just grew as Morgan and Leah.
02:30You can look at some photos.
02:33This is me when I was little. I think I was like one or two.
02:38And that's my mom.
02:41That was me. School pictures.
02:45The guy that was taking my picture, I think a booger dropped out of his nose and that's why I made that.
02:53And I was taking my picture for like the next three years.
02:57Growing up, I didn't feel like I really fit in with just anybody, girl or boy.
03:05And yeah, it wasn't until I got into my adult years when I was able to go to the doctor on my own and do more research and learn to embrace my woman in me.
03:19I thought she was a catfish.
03:24And she thought the same thing about me.
03:29I thought she pretty. I got to talk to her.
03:32I didn't think she was going to text back. We met for the first time after she told me, right?
03:38Yeah, and we just talked, got to know each other a little bit more.
03:43I just explained to him my, you know, my body.
03:47I was cool with it. I'm not judgmental and everything. And I said, yeah, that's me.
03:55People think that he's attracted to males, but he's not.
04:02He's just OK with me being different and understanding that I do have both parts, that I am more feminine than anything else.
04:12I like this one.
04:14So a few of the comments that I've received, someone said, that's a man we know. And someone said, girl, go seek help.
04:25Dude in a dress with a gut. That was when I was pregnant.
04:30My experience with pregnancy, we found out when we moved to a new city. I was in shock.
04:38We were really excited. We, you know, we prayed for that baby and we tried to.
04:48I'm like getting emotional. Sorry.
04:53Went to different doctors. I got turned down at multiple different clinics.
05:00Most doctors were like, we can refer you here, but we can't see you.
05:04And to be pregnant and to not get help, to not get checkups, you know, it was just a lot going on.
05:12I was nauseous, had very bad pains and we did lose our baby.
05:21And it was just, yeah, it was just a lot to do with that.
05:27We have our chance again with parenthood. I guess God just was not ready for us to be parents.
05:38A lot of people doubted, you know, that I was intersex. People would say like, oh, those are two men.
05:45A lot of people have doubted that we've been together for real.
05:49People have doubted that my pregnancy was fake. People were saying, oh, she just has a beer belly or how can this be?
05:57My belly did not look the same. The things I went through weren't the same.
06:02The way the baby was going to be birthed wasn't going to be the same. I was going to have to get a C-section.
06:08A lot of people have reached out to me, you know, telling me that they're already pregnant.
06:15A lot of people have reached out to me, you know, telling me that they're also intersex.
06:21And by me speaking up has allowed them to feel heard, allowed them to feel like they matter.
06:27Like my story really just helped a lot of people kind of come out the closet with hiding.
06:37Everyone has their own opinion. There's miserable people in the world and misery loves company.
06:43We will come a lot. I feel like it's definitely brought us closer. It just gets stronger and stronger every day.
06:51Ready? Yes. Okay, let's ride, Clyde.
06:57I feel like God wanted me to share my experience and it opened doors for so many people like me, you know, to know like you can get pregnant.
07:06It's possible to have a baby.
07:08I'm glad to be here with my beautiful wife and I enjoy this day with you, baby.
07:12I love you. I love you too.
07:14You know, I exist and this is my story, you know.
07:20He makes me feel safe. He makes me feel happy.
07:26It just makes me feel like I'm here, alive.
07:32We don't want to give up on each other.
07:34If people ignore me or don't like who I'm dating, I only can just ignore them and pray for them.
07:41Oh, it's a spider on you. Sorry. Come on, honey.
07:49To death do us part. Like, this is going to work for the rest of our life.
