I think you may be correct. I met a young woman who was raised as a boy and blossomed in puberty into a girl... many years ago. She had both genitals at birth and her parents decided to raise her as a Billy, but she turned into a Tracy.
I met her through friends who knew her, at a time when she had been beaten by a boyfriend who found out she was once ‘Billy’.
Horrible to deal with this. It does happen, one would pray that people could try to understand and be helpful rather than critical.
Boyfriend probably saw it as something "gay." While there is no excuse for violence, it would be wise for someone in her situation to tell a potential partner about it BEFORE anything romantic gets going. Then, if the partner would be weirded out there is minimal opportunity for repercussion.
Wouldn’t they do a chromosome check to be sure which is which, before an irreversible operation?
[I’d think so, any way]
