Didn't work- the "little girl" ended up fighting this change stating that she always "felt" like a boy. Nasty law suit ensued (no pun intended). Something this validates the authors findings about wiring. I'd still be interested in the wiring of transgender and hermaprodites.
Ended up a suicide I believe. But that situation doesn't prove much because the parents knew of the difference as they raised the child. All kinds of weird responses would result.
I'd like to see her explanation of that island group which routinely produces females at birth who turn into males at puberty. It just can't be as simple as 'wired as m/f'.
