There is an account of a person in Germany who, for the first thirty years of life, was regarded as feminine, and being of loose morals became a mother.

At a certain period she began to feel a change in her sexual inclinations; she married and became the father of a family.

This is doubtless a distortion of the facts of the case of Catherine or Charles Hoffman, born in 1824, and who was considered a female until the age of forty.

At puberty she had the instincts of a woman, and cohabitated with a male lover for twenty years.

Her breasts were well formed and she menstruated at nineteen.
