There's a tragic story from the frontline of the nature vs. nurture debate, David, formerly Brenda, known in psychology circles as 'John'/'Joan', committed suicide last week. Though I don't know much more than what comes out in this report, it does seem as what screwed the guy up more was not being forced to try to live in the opposite sex, but rather the 'sexual play' that the psychologist handling his case made him go through as a prepubescent. Such activity today would have him labelled a paedophile and shown the door, but apparently he's still practising.
