The Boy Who Was Raised as a Girl
Book • 2013
The book tells the extraordinary story of David Reimer, who was born male but raised as a girl after a botched circumcision in infancy.

The case, known as the 'twins case,' became one of the most famous in modern medicine and exposed a thirty-year-long scientific feud between Dr. John Money and Dr. Milton Diamond over the nature/nurture debate.

Colapinto sets the historical and medical context for the case, highlighting medical arrogance, misguided science, and societal confusion.

The book is a human drama of one man's and his family's survival in the face of terrible odds.
