There are so many other things that you have plenty of time to figure out, and people in their early teens are really rarely expected to make big life altering decisions about things, but with this one specific condition if you don’t figure things out, get lucky with your country/parents and advocate for yourself while you’re still a child, you’ll have to live with the negative downstream consequences of that for the rest of your life.
