omg i feel sick how horrible

I would be interested in reading the book I think.

That video is shocking. What would possess parents to turn their baby boy into a girl because of a damaged penis?

Did they really think there would be no repercussions? And shocking of that psychologist to 'trick' the parents like that.

i have seen that on tv before. it is shocking. I think the parents made their decision on what was available at the time. I feel very sorry for all involved

Wasn’t the doctor using him as an experiment? That doctor was sick.
Makes me fell sick to the stomach to think of what that poor boy has been through.
