There was a TV documentary shown about it a while ago. There is more about it here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Reimer

Oh wow, I never heard of that. I just don't understand how people can use their kids to "experiment" like that, I really don't see what the problem with traditional parenting is. If you don't want your kids to be aggressive or sexist just teach them not to be by not being like that yourself, lead by example. Don't over complicate things by doing all this crazy s**t
