The article is from 2011.
Most people can see how this is all about stereotypes, despite the narrative changing. Once the pushback began against the sexism of using stereotypes to 'determine your sex', TRAs changed the narrative to claim it was nothing to do with stereotypes, but everything to do with an innate essence.
They could see that being evangelical about cementing stereotypes is not a good look.
However, when this article came out, they hadn't yet got that memo.
It should not be coming as a surprise to anybody that there is no evidence that hormones and surgical interventions can be a 'cure for toy preference'.
From the article where Jackie and Susie Green were interviewed. So presumably, a pre-approved publication.
That’s just what happened to Jackie Green.
She was born 18 years ago with all the physical characteristics of a boy and her parents named her Jack, but from being a toddler she acted like a girl.
She always wanted to wear girls’ clothes and play with girls’ toys.
From then on her life became more and more difficult until eventually her parents made the decision to pay for Jackie, as she was known by that time, to have £28,000 of treatment and complete gender reassignment surgery.
Some might query whether Susie, who was always a very open-minded mother, did enough to discourage Jack from playing with girls’ toys and wearing feminine clothes – both signs displayed from the age of three. Did she really try to intervene enough?
Oh good God yes,” she says. “I’ll be quite honest, if I could have had a choice I would have liked to have had a son who was completely heterosexual.
She didn’t really have many dolls, but what cuddly toys she had she would nurture and treat like babies, not at all like a boy.
But initially her dad just said: ‘I’m not having this’ and when she was aged about four he insisted we have a go at trying to stop her having anything girly.
Subsequently Jackie Green became depressed and suicidal, and was given hormone and surgical treatment.
