...his name and how he acted says exactly all what he's bothered about?
Right I don't know how long ago but this guy went to hospital at the age of one or sommat and the hospital manage to burn off the kids penius, said to be an accident. About to years later a guy called Dr. Money was on TV saying abou the great new break through of the sex change, so the parents took this kid to Doctor Money and gave him male-to-female surgery and Dr Money said not to mention that he was ever a boy and to bring him up as a girl and he'll be fine. now Doctor Money kept having this kid back for tests to see if he had adapted to being a girl at first it was a sucess but eventually the kid started acting like a boy and Doctor Money hid this from the press and continued pretending it was a sucess and he knew if it was a sucess he'd make money from it so that just shows all he was bothered abou was his actual name Dr "Money".
I mean don't you find that abit of a fraud that he manage to perform a sucessful transition but when it came down to it he was hiding things from everyone just so he could take advantage of the people who'd be willing to pay for this surgery?

I think Doctor Money was one of the first people to perform a transition but I'm not quite sure but his name did stick out and the fact that his lasts names Money, that just says what he's bothered about.

Dr John Money's name is a dirty word in the transsexual and intersex communities; he did considerable harm to all of us, not least to poor David Reimer, who took his own life in 2004 because of the cruel experiment that his life was turned into. His twin brother, who was the 'control' in the experiment, died in 2002 of a drug and alcohol overdose. (If you want to read the whole story, it's here; http://infocirc.org/rollston.htm )
The only good thing that came out of the whole business was that it showed quite conclusively that gender is NOT a function of environment or socialisation, but neurological and inborn.

The first man in modern times to perform 'sex change' surgery was probably Dr Warnekros, working in Germany in the 1920s, under the supervision of Dr Magnus Hirschfeld, the famous 'sexologist' and the first man to use the word 'transsexual' to describe transsexual people. But of course, various primitive forms of surgery for transsexual people have been carried out for centuries; there are records dating back to 1500-2000 BCE.

The first well known modern transsexual who underwent surgery was Christine Jorgensen in the early fifties. Recently the case of Lily Elbe of Germany in the thirties has become more well known, she died a year after surgery from complications.

Dr. Money was a highly respected psychologist who staked his reputation on the John/Jane case, as it was known, and when it contradicted his theories, which had been used to justify surgical reassignment of intersexed infants, used as the primary viewpoint of the medical community and come up with a variety of bizarre theories about transsexuality, he paniced and concealed the information. His motives were protecting his professional reputation, not making money. His actions cause untold harm to intersexed and transsexual people that is only now just beginning to be addressed.

I think you may be confusing this with the case of a pair of twins. They were being circumcised and it went wrong with one of them and it was suggested that the performed full sex change surgery and brought the boy up as a girl. This was done with the help and advice of a specialist in hermaphrodites. Unfortunately they did not appreciate at the time that while the body was now female the brain was still male and it was a disaster culminating in the boy/girl committing suicide. Sorry I cant remember the names and I have not got time to look it up at the moment

If a guy or woman would not have genetic disease like Klinefelter then that's a psychological difficulty. A psychological disease should not be dealt with with gender reassignment surgical operation. i'm against in theory yet while they like to marry somebody of the comparable intercourse then which would be allowed and comparable intercourse marriage could be legalized. If we initiate permitting human beings to alter intercourse them the following day we can enable human beings to genetically alter themselves. This is going against the character.

This link tells you all about what Dr Money did to this child.
It wasn't a successful transition though and the child - now grown up - lives as a male:
