It quickly became clear that the gender applied to him at birth was not correct, and from the age of six he began to see specialists in Europe for help. With the financial means of procuring synthetic hormones, Ewan was able to live as a boy, and then as man, and was even able to correct the gender on his birth certificate in order to marry. Then, in 1965, his older brother died and Ewan was set to inherit the family baronetcy. After his cousin contested the inheritance on the grounds that it could only be inherited by a male heir, Ewan was forced to defend his gender in an extraordinary court case. In this book, Zoe Playdon draws on the fields of law, medicine, psychology and biology to reveal a remarkable hidden history, uncovering records that were considered so threatening that they had been removed from view for decades.<\/p>\n<p>Author Zoe Playdon Published by Bloomsbury ISBN 9781526619136 EAN 9781526619136 Bic Code  Cover Hardback<\/p>\n<!-- Jellybooks Discovery Plugin: Not on a regular page -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zoe Playdon<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":28608,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[9354],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-28607","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-politics-current-affairs","8":"first","9":"onbackorder","10":"sale","11":"taxable","12":"shipping-taxable","13":"purchasable","14":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
