Deirdra recently read through a gender identity case study that follows a young boy through adulthood. The case study describes that as a child, the boy was primarily interested in playing with dolls and wearing women's clothing rather than playing sports
The case study concludes with a detailed analysis of the subject's decision to undergo gender reassignment therapy as an adult. This study is of particular interest to Deirdra because her three year old son often plays with dolls and likes to wear her shoes around the house.

b. Case studies do not provide useful information.
