Dht (raised as girls until puberty): most have been said to adjust to being male fairly easily. David reimer born as twin and they weren"t circumcised until 18 months, and one of the boys" penises were severed, and parents were distraught. Money told them to just raise him as a girl -- renamed the child joan and she would have to take hormonal supplements. Ended up marrying a woman and having kids, but both children/twins ended up dying at early ages. John money: sexologist who felt nurture not nature determines gender identity never admitted to the story being misrepresented. Reiner & gearhart (2004) -- study of boys born w/o penis; had early reassignment surgery to be raised as girls; half developed male identity by adolescence.
