http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2004471342,00.html So is this guy a dude, chick, tranny? I don't get it.
this personwas genetically born a male but had no genitalia to show for it. when he started to hit puberty his testosterone started raging and he started to grow facial hair etc. and when he started hormone therapy his penis started to " grow" in. thats genetics. emotionally he is or was a female, mood swings and all. physiacally at a younger age he was nothing but his parents gave him a girl name. so technically hes a male. but if you only look at his emotions and physiacall appearance he was a female.
The violent mood swings are more likely result of testosterone. Not having testicles meant that up until the treatments there was very little testosterone on board. When they started to accumulate Sam went through the same thing that boys do when reaching puberty. Not all become combative but the majority do. It is a direct result of testosterone. You are correct about the rest though, I think.
Quite fortunate that ve was called Sam, when you think about it! This is what you get if you give your children asexual names.
Gender is fascinating. The mood swings, good Lordisa. That must be impossibly difficult and emotionalyl crazy.
