Only subjects followed until at least 12 or more years of age, with explicitly stated gender identity, were reported. Early orchiectomy was defined as orchiectomy occurring by age 10 years.
*None of the patients who had female to male gender reassignment had had a history of early orchiectomy.
ǂTwo of the patients were assessed to have masculine psychosexual development, but their parents refused gender change.
