Study Says Peer Pressure may Not Influence Binge Drinking

Sad and unhappy as a boy, Tammy, now 11, only wears girlie attire and prefers to live like a girl. He had threatened genital self-mutilation, and therapists had diagnosed him with gender identity disorder.

Thomas began to take hormone-blocking drugs to delay the development of deep voice, facial hair and broad shoulders.
