One of the most amazing real life stories ever. "As Nature Made Him, by John Colapinto. I HIGHLY recommend this book.

A baby boy who's botched circumcision left him without a penis and under advice of a doctor, raised him as a girl. He is a real life hero. Tragically he committed suicide at 38, two years after his twin also committed suicide, and after the book was written. This was a huge lesson in gender assignment taking place in the brain not in the genitals.
