This is a story I told my Dad when I was coming out to try to make him see the issue from another point of view (trans-people aren't that well understood in my family). I'm not sure if it came across the right way or if he saw the connection because he just said it was a sad story, but it definitely evokes some thought into supposedly thoughtless decisions (like girls are girls, boys are boys). I just didn't know how else to make the situation relatable D:. But nonetheless it's a sad story indeed, I really feel for his Mum losing both her sons to horrible circumstances.

I read a book on this. Poor guy, really sad story. I tell it to people because it's rather interesting. Gets them to realize hopefully that no, you cannot change one's gender identity no matter how hard you try. That or it just fascinates them, either way it's not a bad idea.

RIP

Very sad and very predictable.

Another reason we need to keep support, comfort, love and understanding to our intersexed friends.

We are all normal human beings.

Sleep in peace David.

I've been pointing to his story whenever someone says that gender is solely a social construct.
