Journal Article
Solving the Jigsaw Puzzle
2015
Overview
In the author's medical record, there is an enigmatic note. It was written as a consultation request from a pediatric endocrinologist to a plastic surgeon while he was hospitalized at age 13 for mastectomy. He does remember the surgeon stopping by and examining him briefly without explaining who he was or why he was there. He had a somewhat longer, but equally uninformative for his visit from a child psychiatrist. He actually has no recollection at all of anything like pressure from his father to change to living as a girl. As he remembers, his father was bothered by his having breasts and was the one who initiated the physician contacts that led to mastectomy. About this same time, he got a clandestine peek at the medical records of a younger cousin, also with partial androgen insensitivity syndrome, and who, like the author, had been raised as a boy.
