She was really distracted because her doctor had told her to get tested for a testosterone induced brain tumor the year she became old enough to drink alcohol.

Yet women given testosterone, which is also a known human teratogen capable of causing specific birth defects, they can go 8 months of refills without a negative pregnancy test. Fortunately the fetus was a male, so the testosterone did not cause a DSD, but it still may have affected the pregnancy and fetus negatively in other ways, in addition to the alcohol and drug use.
