Crecelius, who now goes by Stevie, found out
she was born intersex, with both male and female sex organs, according to Fox News. A trip to the emergency
room for the kidney stone was what revealed what Crecelius had questioned her
whole life.
"The nurse [in the ER] is reading the ultrasound and says,
'Huh, this says you're a female,'" Crecelius said to Fox.
According to ABC News, Crecelius said she felt
a little different all her life.
"When I was about six years old, I started having these
feminine feelings, but that was in the '60s. Wearing my mom's makeup, I thought
I looked pretty," Crecelius told ABC.
The Denver Post reported that Crecelius's
wife, Debbie, and their six children have accepted her new identity.
"We told them individually. Some were in person and some
weren't," Crecelius said to ABC, referring to how she told her children
about her transition to becoming a woman. "Every one of them said, 'We
don’t care one way or the other. We love you for who you are and you're still
my dad.'"
Even though it wasn't always easy, Debbie has stayed with
Crecelius since receiving the news five years ago.
"I didn’t sign on for this, but who signs on for
anything?" she said to Fox. "She's the same person she was as a he on
the inside."
