[Opinions] The parents followed their doctor's advice
They though if Bruce was brought up as a girl (and later got female hormones), then this was the best solution.When Bruce found out the truth, he underwent surgery to look like a man. He said he never felt comfortable as a girl. He married and got step-children.But his brother Brian committed suicide. Later, after loosing a lot of money, Bruce/David also comitted suicide.I think the whole thing was such a trauma that the sons were affected for life."You sought a flower and found a fruit. You sought a spring and found a sea. You sought a woman and found a soul. You are disappointed."
"It does not become me to make myself smaller than I am." (Edith Södergran 1891-1923)
