This is like that story where there was a baby that was getting circumcised but the doctor accidentally burnt off part of the penis. Then had the cockamamie idea to encourage the parents to cut off the rest and raise him as a girl. But growing up he always knew something was off about being treated as a girl. Got caught while he peed standing up at school.
Finally the parents revealed he was born male, he was instantly relieved and immediately switched over lifestyles. However, the strain of lying to him would eventually cause his older brother to commit suicide. And later, so would he himself.
