After a botched circumcision, doctors convinced his parents to raise David as a girl, starting him on a long and arduous road of operations and therapy. He didn't identify as a girl, however, and in his early teens was finally told the truth. David started living as a man, but the wounds were too deep and he eventually committed suicide at the age of thirty-eight. The case underlines the fact that gender identity is hardwired into the brain and not merely learned. It is also an excellent example of why forcing people to be something they are not is a bad idea.
