Medical community questions theory on sex reassignment

Article Abstract:

An article in the March 1997 edition of the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine raises questions about the wisdom of changing a baby boy into a girl with surgery in the case of considerable damage to the penis. An infant who underwent the procedures in the 1970s eventually determined he was born a boy and ended up having more surgeries to change back into a male.
