Hazel Jones has two vaginas. Bravo, Hazel, for coming out about this. Quoting Nadine Deninno at the International Business Times:
"Jones said she is not embarrassed by the condition but rather uses it for social benefits.
'My quirky condition does not make me shy or hold me back,' she told The Sun. 'In fact, it's something I celebrate.'
'As soon as I found out what it was, I told everybody,' she said. 'I thought it was amazing. It's definitely an ice breaker at parties.' According to Jones, she is happy to show everyone, including women."
What an inspiring attitude! I hope it will help those who feel ashamed or awkward about their vaginas to realize how beautiful they are.
That said, I'm not sure I like the use of the word "condition" in this context. While having two vaginas does seem to cause problems with childbirth, there doesn't seem to be much "illness" in the equation (and that is what "condition" has come to mean). "Difference" seems like a more constructive word, to me. And frankly, "miracle" doesn't feel like too much of a stretch.
