Just saw this off the BBC News website during my break ... not sure if anyone has read it yet

The boy who was raised a girl
23 November 2010 Last updated at 09:59 GMT

When anyone has a baby the first question everyone asks is: "Is it a boy or a girl?"
Biologically it is sex hormones, physical appearance and the sex chromosomes - XX for a woman, XY for a man - which dictate whether someone is male or female.
But what happens if you bring up someone who was a boy as a girl?
There was a case just like this in the 1960s, a case which ended in tragedy.
Twins Bruce and Brian Reimer were born in Canada as two perfectly normal boys. But after seven months, both were having difficulty urinating.
Acting on advice, the parents, Janet and Ron, took the boys to the hospital for a circumcision.
The next morning, they received a devastating phone call - Bruce had been involved in an accident.

I've seen this as well.

The significant point though, is why this matter is being resurected?

it's a very famous case

Absolutely! Dr. Money was just playing God with someone's life. If they're trying to make a case against SRS being a viable option at all, this is not the case to be throwing out as an example of failure pertaining an individual who believes they do in fact need it. Instead it reflects the abject failure to understand that one's own identity is in fact a reality one is born with. It cannot be changed, muted or altered. The greater need is for the body to match the identity within.

A man is dead because of someone else's stupidity. In my opinion, Dr. Money should be in prison.

Yeah. It was clearly a case of imposing a gender. Not entirely unlike those cases where people, born with ambiguous genitalia, were given surgery soon after birth.

I'm just suspicious about the motives for our state news organisation, resurecting it now.
