Sex: unknown
This movie is about a boy from Canada who would go through sex change to fix his penis. John Money was a physiatrist. He was the first person to think of having sex change surgery. It was common for a person who is a male/female to be raised as females/male because of the amount of hormones in the womb John Money said that you could be raised one way or another. People often believed that John Moneys outlook was true and you could raise your child to be the other sex. It was common for someone with a small or deformed penis to switch to a female. The goal of parents was to convince should the child to pretend they are the other sex. Diamond did test that inserted male hormones into female rats that made them act like a male and it did. John’s support from his fans gave him supports and he eventually turned a perfectly normal boy into a perfectly normal girl. This proposal spread like a wild fire through the media. Gorskey was the person who tried to figure out if a male’s brain was different from a female brain and his student found out that in a rat it was. When the female rat was injected with male hormones in the womb he noticed that it was very similar to the male brain. Gorskey felt like he challenged that John Money’s ideas because he determined that it was hormones not nurture. Brenda the child that had the sex change was having problems with school and with fitting in. This proved that even if you change their anatomy they wouldn’t have the hormones that a female would have. Evidence against John Money started to grow and to really start to prove that he was wrong. They collected human brains and compared the male brain and the female brain. The difference between the male and female brain were different in the sizes of brain that control the hormone levels. Emma was raised as a boy and with a boy’s anatomy but she never believed that she was male. In transsexual people they ended up having a female brain in a male body and vice versa. Swabs...
