I thought maybe you might know about it, because most of the story took place in winnipeg. David remier was the victim of a botched circumcision as a toddler. I think they dubbed him the John/Joan case in the '60s and '70s.
They decided to turn him into a girl, but his gender was already decided a long time ago in the womb. The AMERICAN doctor who played with his mind lied about his research. He reported a success and proof that children are not by nature feminine or masculine but through nurture are. Which was a lie! He suffered so much. When he finally took the step and became what he was a man, after their experiments, I really hoped he would have a chance a life. But I heard he killed himself. I think he still lived in winnipeg. So sad.
