The Boy Who Was Turned Into a Girl

Description

In August 1965 in the small Canadian town of Winnipeg Janet Reimer gave birth to twin boys, Bruce and Brian. Her twins would form the basis of one of the most controversial case studies in the history of science, a study that is still having repercussions to this day, because by the time they were two years old, before they were even out of nappies, Brian would be a happy, bouncing boy and Bruce would have been turned into a girl called Brenda. For many years science has believed it could turn a boy into a girl. Not just make a boy look like a girl but make him think like a girl, feel like a girl, be a girl, to turn a boy's brain into a girl's brain.
