Lisa Lee Dark (born 16 April 1981 in Swansea, Wales), is a Welsh opera singer and voice actress. ==Early life== Dark was born in Clydach, one of the Swansea valleys.〔(Wales on Sunday newspaper, 11 July 1999)〕 She is related to Adelina Patti (1843–1919) and Bette Davis (1908–1989)〔(Bella magazine, 21 August 2001)〕 Dark was born with a rare medical condition called Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH).〔(Real magazine, 9 September 2003)〕 This meant that throughout Dark's childhood she was raised as a boy because doctors failed to realise that she was biologically female.〔(【引用サイトリンク】BBC Radio 4 – Changing Sex )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Website will help air rare conditions )〕 The condition called congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), leads to an excessive outpouring of the male hormone testosterone during the early part of foetal life〔(The Times newspaper, 20 November 2004)〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】Highs and lows )〕 While the genes are thoroughly xx female, an inherited faulty gene blocks production of an essential enzyme.〔(Now magazine, 14 June 2000)〕 The deficiency leads to upsets in the body's hormonal balance and causes the adrenal glands to produce low levels of cortisol, the stress hormone.〔(The Universe newspaper, 28 May 2000)〕 In response, the pituitary (the body's conductor gland) pushes the adrenals into top gear to make more cortisol, because of the enzyme deficiency, they secrete more and more testosterone and in the most severe cases, like Lisa Lee's, the hormone leads to fusion of the female genitalia and in some an enlarged clitoris, making it quite easy to mistake newborn girls for boys, though ovaries and womb remain intact, making it possible for Lisa Lee to have children of her own.〔(The Daily Telegraph newspaper, 25 April 2000)〕 Dark only discovered that she was biologically female at the age of 19. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is a disorder that affects one in 15,000 births world wide, with varying degrees of masculinisation.〔(More magazine, 12 May 2004)〕 Dark was very badly bullied during her school years.〔(The Mirror newspaper, 8 May 2000)〕 She went to a tough all boys comprehensive school where she would regularly get kicked, punched, spat at and have obscene things screamed at her, even outside school she would get the same treatment, all because she was slightly different and did not behave like all the other boys.〔(Golwg Welsh language magazine, September 2004)〕 Dark's home life wasn't much better, her parents had drink and money problems, they told Lisa Lee that she was the least important thing to them and that they wished that she was dead, there was also a lot of violence in the home,〔(Life magazine, April 2008)〕 so Dark would walk the streets to get away from the troubles, but this made her easy prey for a paedophile ring; the sexual abuse that Dark experienced made her realise that she wasn't a normal male,〔(The Universe newspaper, 26 November 2000)〕 but growing up all she wanted was to die. Dark believes that this is what pushed her into the entertainment industry.〔(The Mind magazine, July,2007)〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lisa Lee Dark」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
