Or it could be that 'gender id' is a load of bs. We are the sex that we are but there is more than one way to be a man or a woman and we should be fighting for a society that accepts 'feminine' men & 'masculine' women instead of resorting to risky clinical intervention #Butterflyhttps://twitter.com/Natal_Lies/status/1054119306726948865 …

How does it suggest the opposite? His supposedly 'female' upbringing in an era of rigid gender stereotypes was trumped by his traditionally 'male' personality, which is hardly surprising given that he was raised with a twin brother by parents who KNEW he was a boy.

I was responding to the tweet you linked to, not your good self. They were claiming it was his 'gender identity' that made him a boy despite his upbringing.

The case is notorious and started with a physician deciding 'they' could get away with converting a true male child into a female. The parents were dragged into this deceit as being the best for him in the circumstances. It's a cruel deceit & physician I think was disbarred.

Correct. What's your point?

Quite. He never adjusted to being a girl. And even though he'd been raised without testes, at puberty his body still managed to produce enough testosterone to give him some male characteristics. He *felt* like a boy and outright refused to be a girl any more.
-
He wasn't ever a girl. The physician believed in nurture overruled nature & dragged desperate parents into a vicious lie. Lad was left unable to reconcile everything including trusting parents. Incomparable in any way with experience of a trans person self realising true self.

'True self' being their personality not their biological sex, of course.
