My Life With Half A Body: Living Differently

Piyah was born with Sacral Agenesis, meaning she has only half a body. Born male, Piyah has now transitioned to female, and she has had to overcome bullying and rejection because of her identity and appearance. She's recently found love with boyfriend Andrew, who calls her his ‘angel’. Using a skateboard to get around, she has built physical and mental strength, and now spends most of her life encouraging more LGBTQ+ disabled women to embrace themselves and life - just like she does.
