That is the story according to the BBC article, and worse, it appeared to be a successful operation up until puberty, at least according to reports at the time... As a result it was reported as a recommendation as the treatment for intersex births and trauma cases, for at least a while, and who knows how many other children were similarly abused based on it.... Hopefully it is now seen as a bad idea, and children will be allowed to grow up to the point of making their own choices...dandelion wrote: Fri Apr 18, 2025 3:30 pm If I remember correctly the psychiatrist believed in nurture over nature when it comes to sexuality. The accident was an opportunity for him to prove his point so he convinced the SRS of the baby. Obviously he's been proven wrong instead.
