Degrees

Since we know the degree of masculine and feminine behaviour isn't necessarily directly correlated to birth sex, it would have been fascinating if David Reimer had been more like Sophie Ottoway. In other words, had his identification with being a male been less emphatic, might he have not tried to revert to living male as Sophie has not done.

This is not to say that John Money was correct but only to note that being a masculine female or a feminine male are also realities with most of these people not identifying in any way as gender variant. Were one of them to be reassigned at birth they might be less inclined to object once informed. Lived history to that point might have dissuaded them from doing anything about it plus their lesser degree of investment with traits traditionally associated with their birth sex.

Just food for thought.
