What a tragic and sad story of a baby who accidentally loses his penis in a circumcision and on the advice of an 'expert' has to live as a girl until puberty. Much has happened in the field of treating gender identity cases after -60's when this boy was born , but making the decisions are still hard for their families.
This book arose much emotions and even more, when I read about this case from wikipedia and found out that both the twin brothers ended in suicide shortly after this book has been published in 2000.
