Gender Dysphoria and Sexual Abuse: A Case Report.

Zucker, Kenneth J.; Kuksis, Myra

Child Abuse and Neglect: The International Journal, v14 n2 p281-83 1990

A case report is presented in which an 11-year-old boy's desire to be a girl and to have his penis removed are shown to follow the initiation of sexual contact by his older brother. The boy's early history of moderate femininity may have made him vulnerable to gender identity conflict. (JDD)
