Man Raised As a Girl Commits Suicide

question, how was he able to marry with out testicles, wouldnt his feelings towards women be absent wiht the removal of the genitals? or at least reduced, and what about the female that married him?
 
what a coward for leaving his family behind. Struggling to make ends meet ? Does he think he's the only one ? How do you lose $47k in an "investment" ? Looks more like a gamble and he lost. Too bad his wife and adopted children have to live with this now. Coward.
 
^ he committed suicide because of what exactly ? Did you read the article ? At least the first paragraph...

Right after he was born, someone burned his dick off.
Then, he was raised as a girl.
He tried to kill himself many times.
Then, he lost $50,000.
Then he committed suicide.
Then you call him a coward.
How much worse can it get?
I agree, suicide is never a good idea.
 
His emotional scarring, especially finding out at 15 years old, is undoubtedly traumatic. Still, he married and has two kids to call his own.

None of this excuses the loss of the money or this method of bailing out on his wife and kids. If he was in financial despair because of medical bills, etc., I'd cut him some slack... but it sounds more like he tried to get rich quick and failed. Then failed his family.

Where?
I typed "man girl penis" into google, and I did not find his web site.
 
How the hell can you screw up a circumcision that badly? I've seen it done ... it doesn't look that difficult. Well, not for the Dr. at least.
Why was a cauterizing tool even used?
 
Wait so, after he stopped the hormones he was normal again? I feel sorry for any poor bastard that dated 'brenda' before her change.

I really, *REALLY* don't want to see the top hits for that search if my guess is correct.

Id probly not search with those terms. you only get porn hits. i cant seem to find the link anymore.

i did find out that he had a twin brother named Bruce. His twin kept his gentials and grew up to be a normal man.

quote
Based on this case -- known as the ``twins case'' because he was born with an identical twin brother who was raised a boy -- sex reassignments became, and remain, a widely accepted medical practice for newborns with injured or irregular genitalia.

Although Reimer grew up miserably aware that something was wrong, the John/Joan case, as it was known in the medical books, was hailed by Dr. Money in 1972 as a medical triumph.
 
a routine circumcision at a Winnipeg hospital went horribly wrong when a general practitioner filled in for the regular surgeon and seared the boy's penis with an electric cauterizing machine.

Sweet Jesus.
 
this happened all the time inthe past. its much easier to make it look like a girl then the other way around. either with botched circumcision or babies born with ambiguous genitilia. back then it was nurture over nature that ruled the day. mostly resulting in failure as the kids grew up and figured out something was just wrong.
