ABOUT THIS ITEM
From Our Editors
Nature vs. Nurture
In As Nature Made Him, author John Colapinto offers a powerful true story that may shake beliefs you take for granted -- not least that doctors can be trusted to work in their patients' best interests. In lucid, impassioned prose, Colapinto, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, traces the life of David Thiessen, a boy sex-changed to female during infancy as part of a cruel experiment. In 1965, David (then named Bruce) was one of a pair of male twins. After a catastrophic circumcision accident, Bruce's penis was destroyed, while his brother Brian remained intact. Devastated, the twins' parents turned for help to Dr. John Money, a world-famous Johns Hopkins psychologist. They were searching for a solution. Instead, they found themselves pawns in a test designed to confirm Money's pet theory -- that gender is a purely social phenomenon, a matter of nurture, not nature.
Indeed, for 20 years, the doctor touted the success of the so-called "John/Joan" case. The surgically created girl, he claimed, had grown up contentedly feminine, in contrast to her rough-and-tumble brother. She fulfilled numerous stereotypes: shy, neat, and pretty, she loved babies and cooking. Most importantly, she considered herself a girl and seemed female to others. Gender, Money announced, was malleable. This finding was hugely influential, seized upon by everyone from feminist academics to pediatricians. And Money, already extremely powerful, rose to the top of his field, wielding enormous influence over surgeons and psychologists alike.
The real story did not emerge until many years later. For in fact, "Brenda" (the name the infant was given after surgery) had never felt female -- and was not perceived as a girl by others. Tormented by her peers, she was nicknamed "cavewoman" and sneered at for her mannish gait. She regularly got into brawls and was failing academically. Even the few bonds the unhappy child formed with tomboys were fragile, since she was perceived not as a tough girl but as a boy in a dress. In her teens, Brenda became suicidally depressed. She refused to go back to see Dr. Money, with whom she'd had annual visits until the age of 14. And she began to dress as a boy. Finally, her parents broke down and told her the truth. "More than anything else," David recalls of this revelation. "I was relieved. Suddenly it all made sense why I felt the way I did."
"Brenda" reverted to male. He had surgery to create a cosmetic penis and therapy to deal with his rage and depression. He changed his name to David, a reference, in part, to the biblical figure who slew a giant. Eventually, he married a loving woman with three children by other fathers. But all the while, the scientific theory supposedly based on his experience continued to guide medical protocols. Money claimed that the family had been "lost to follow-up" -- despite the fact that they never moved or changed their phone number. The case had special influence on the treatment of intersexed (that is, hermaphroditic) infants, who were increasingly "normalized" to female, despite evidence that, like Thiessen, many such children feel traumatized by the surgery and grow up to reject their gender. Finally, in 1996, biologist Milton Diamond, a longtime professional enemy of Money, tracked Thiessen down and revealed the truth to his colleagues, setting off a bomb that effectively destroyed Money's reputation.
Despite its wrenching subject matter, As Nature Made Him is an inspiring read. Colapinto has done a thorough job researching not only Thiessen's medical treatment but the social context in which it took place. And as with the best journalistic nonfiction, the author uses vivid and suspenseful storytelling to make complex ideas accessible. Colapinto builds an especially strong case against Dr. Money -- revealing horrific details about the doctor's treatment of the twins, to whom he showed pornography and even pressured to act out sexual acts, all in an attempt to "cement" their gender identities. Most of all, though, this is the story of one person: David Thiessen. With compassion and insight, Colapinto illuminates the courage of a remarkable individual who triumphed over the miserable treatment he received to become -- in the most literal sense -- a self-made man.

From the Publisher
In 1967, after a baby boy suffered a botched circumcision, his
family agreed to a radical treatment. On the advice of a renowned
expert in gender identity and sexual reassignment at Johns
Hopkins Hospital, the boy was surgically altered to live as a
girl. This landmark case, initially reported to be a complete
success, seemed all the more remarkable since the child had been
born an identical twin: his uninjured brother, raised as a boy,
provided to the experiment the perfect matched control.
The so-called twins case would become one of the most famous in modern medicine and the social sciences; cited repeatedly over the past thirty years as living proof that our sense of being male or female is not inborn but primarily the result of how we are raised. A touchstone for the feminist movement, the case also set the precedent for sex reassignment as standard treatment for thousands of newborns with similarly injured, or irregular, genitals.
But the
case was a failure from the outset. From the start the famous
twin had, in fact, struggled against his imposed girlhood. Since
age fourteen, when finally informed of his medical history, he
made the decision to live as a male. John Colapinto tells this
extraordinary story for the first time in As Nature Made Him.
Writing with uncommon intelligence, insight, and compassion, he
also sets the historical and medical context for the case,
exposing the thirty-year-long scientific feud between Dr. John
Money and his fellow sex researcher, Dr. Milton Diamond--a
rivalry over the nature/nurture debate whose very bitterness
finally brought the truth to light. A macabre tale of medical
arrogance, As Nature Made Him is first andforemost a human
drama of one man's-and one family's--amazing survival in the face
of terrible odds. The human intimacy of the story is all the
greater for the subject's courageous decision to step out from
behind the pseudonym that has shrouded his identity for the past
thirty years.
What People Are Saying
From
the moment I read about the baby boy whom doctors changed into a
girl, I yearned to know the story from the child's point of view:
What did he think? What did he feel? How did his life turn out? As
Nature Made Him tells that story--heartbreaking, infuriating,
but also fascinating--an object lesson in medical hubris and
close-the-ranks collusion, and in the tragic results when
ideology trumps common sense in thinking about sex and gender.
Above all, it's a deeply moving human drama and a testament to
the inner strength and courage of the child who never lost touch
with who he really was. Deborah Tannen
From the Critics
From
School Library Journal
YA-A
sorrowful account of a healthy male baby who, after suffering
from a botched circumcision, was surgically altered and raised as
a girl. Beyond that, it is the story of a psychologist from Johns
Hopkins who would not see that the transsexual "remedy"
was a grievous error since that admission meant the loss of the
fame, power, and acceptance gained from his theories on gender
identity. The book is in actuality a reporting of the facts of
the case: the medical diagnosis; the surgery; the results; and
the terrible effects the gender switch had on Bruce Reimer (soon
to be Brenda), her twin, and their parents. By adolescence,
despite hormone treatments, Brenda's misery was so complete that
a switch back to the gender of birth was inescapable. Thus was
David born. The tragedy of this family was compounded by the
details of the famous Dr. Money's refusal to accept the failure
of this treatment. One is forced to wonder how many other
children who are afflicted with genital anomalies, whether from
physician error or from a congenital defect, have suffered due to
the ongoing nature versus nurture debate of scientists. This is a
compelling story that will educate teens about some serious
physical, psychological, and scientific issues. Because of
interviews on television recently, David Reimer's story may
already be familiar to many of them.-Carol DeAngelo, Kings Park

Beautifully
read by Howard McGillin, As Nature Made Him contains a
powerful lesson about the importance of questioning the big
authorities and of listening to small children.
From
Natalie Angier - New York Times Book Review
As John
Colapinto makes achingly clear in this riveting, cleanly written
and brilliantly researched account of a world-famous case,
Money's effort to prove the plasticity of human sexual identity
by transforming Bruce into Brenda was a cataclysmic failure.
From
Library Journal
We've
all heard the famous case of the boy raised as a girl after his
circumcision was botched, supposedly a triumph for nurturists.
Now he's an adult, living as a man with a family. Based on an
award-winning Rolling Stone article, this book recounts the
ordeal of "John/Joan," whose full identify will be
revealed here. Copyright 1999 Cahners Business Information.

In Search of Eve Transsexual Rites of Passage

from Barnes & Noble
ABOUT THIS ITEM
Synopsis
This is
a study of the "development of 16 male-to-female
transsexuals in Denver's Berdache Society. . . . Bolin finds that
transsexuals as a group were not characterized by family
histories of dominant mothers and absent fathers, and did not
show exclusive homosexual orientations or effeminate childhoods.
. . . Bolin discusses stigma and passing." (Choice)
Bibliography. Index.
From the Publisher
"In
Search of Eve is an absorbing account of the sociocultural
aspects of gender transition. . . . [Bolin] has produced a
carefully crafted, clearly written monograph which scholars of
both sexuality and gender can profitably read. I would recommend
it also for upper-level students in such courses. The book
contains many fascinating insights and new findings."

From the Critics
From
B. Miller - Choice
There
are valuable chapters on economics, hormonal management, and
sexuality so that the reader discovers what it feels like to be a
transsexual. Bolin corrects and extends Thomas Kando's Sex Change
(1973) and Deborah Feinbloom's Transvestites & Transsexuals
{BRD 1976}.
From

{This}
is an absorbing account of the sociocultural aspects of gender
transition. . . . {Bolin} has produced a carefully crafted,
clearly written monograph which scholars of both sexuality and
gender can profitably read. I wouldrecommend it also for
upper-level students in such courses. The book contains many
fascinating insights and new findings, and Bolin appropriately
cautionsagainst overgeneralizing from her limited sample where
her findings do not agree with others. My only regret is that
Bolin did not use more direct quotations from her informants than
she did.
Reviewed by Claire McNab, vice
president of Press for Change
"This study of a group of trans people in the
USA is quite old now, being based on PhD research carried out in
the early 1980's. But even though it is in some ways outdated, it
marked a turning point in writings about trans women.
The author is an anthropologist, and as such
she starts with that discipline's approach of learning and
recording the lives of her subjects, as they see themselves. The
result is a book light years away from the pattern of previous
writings, which were predominantly written by psychiatrists,
psychologists and others ... professions whose ethos is to bring
to their work an expertise and insight supposedly lacked by the
people who they study, and whose writings routinely dismiss and
distort the experiences and understandings of those whom they
purport to describe.
Those earlier texts, and all too many
since, have explained at great length the their authors'
prejudices of how trans people are deluded, or the hapless
victims of their deep needs, and marginalise or ignore the voices
of trans people themselves. Instead, Bolin describes with great
tenderness the details of the learning processes involved in
transition, the economic, social and medical hazards faced, and
extent to which the trans women involved have to work around the
"professionals" who purport to help them, and how the
truths of this wonderful journey are all too often a secret which
must be carefully guarded, particularly from those same
"professionals".
By avoiding the temptation to construct grand
theories, and working instead to build a relationship of trust
with the women with whom she spent two years, Bolin was able to
share the secrets witheld from those who exercise power over
trans people. In Search of Eve stands as a record
of the realities of the lives of her subjects ... and an
indictment of the dehumanising nature of so much of the rest of
the academic literature. If for nothing else, her critique of the
absurdity and misuse of the psychological tests applied to trans
people makes this a valuable reference.
As a model for how to write about trans people,
Bolin's book has stood the test of time far better than any of
its contemporaries. My own copy is regularly lent out as required
reading for those who want to understand more about how we are
portrayed."
