Cliff notes:
1. Man has Klinefelter's syndrome (XXY chromosomes) but didn't know it (though the extra X chromosome always made him feel more female than male)
2. Has a deadly allergy to bees and is stung by one and has a near fatal reaction
3. The bee sting resets his endocrine system and he starts producing large amounts of female hormones
4. Begins growing boobs, skin gets softer, body hair falls out. Body changes so much, that he needs to get a bra.
5. Has always felt more like a woman trapped in a man's body than anything.
6. Changes name, has gender reassignment surgery, and begins living full time as a woman. Is now a her.
7. Has two sons and a wife, continues to live with them, but eventually agrees on a divorce.
8. Father disowns her.
9. She attempts suicide.
I know a little about this story because my girl was on the Anderson Cooper episode that the family was on and got to speak to them a little. I found the story intriguing because I studied psychology and human development but had never heard of a bee sting "rebooting" someone's endocrine system.
The story really is fascinating.
EDIT
to everyone asking for a video, the video wont embed because of yuku. the link to the video is right there in the OP though, just click it.
