What Happened After Ally Hensley Was Told She Had No Vagina

When Ally Hensley was a teenager, she received a life-changing diagnosis: she was born without a uterus, cervix, or vaginal canal; a rare condition known as MRKH syndrome. That moment would shape everything: how she saw her body, her future, her self-worth, and her relationships. In this raw, unflinching, and darkly funny conversation, Ally opens up about what it’s like to navigate sex, intimacy, identity, and trauma while carrying a secret she felt she couldn’t share. She speaks candidly about infertility, shame, and the complexities of abusive relationships when you already feel broken - and what it takes to reclaim your voice and your story. Today, Ally is a writer, speaker, and advocate who has turned her pain into purpose. This is a story of resilience, identity, and what happens when you stop hiding and let yourself be seen. THE END BITS: Listen to more No Filter interviews here and follow us on Instagram here.
