On May 4, 2004, David Reimer drove to a supermarket car park and, still sitting in the car, pulled out a shotgun and killed himself.
At 38, he ended a life that had been so full of pain and anguish that some who knew him were only surprised he had battled on for so long.
From when he was only a few months old until into his teenage years, David had been subjected to a perverse, cruel and disastrously misguided experiment by a celebrated sex psychologist who was determined to show the world that he could transform a boy into a girl.
The academic concerned — John Money — is often hailed as the spiritual father of today’s trans movement. His research underpins the central claim we hear so often nowadays: that while biological sex may be innate, ‘gender identity’ — a term that Money helped to popularise, along with coining the term ‘sexual orientation’ — is ‘socially constructed’.
From this stems the great modern progressive dogma: that sex is irrelevant and what truly matters is which gender a person ‘feels’ they are.
However, trans-rights warriors barely mention Money’s name now. And no wonder. For despite his lasting influence on the movement, his research was built on a lie — and his twisted experiment destroyed the life not only of David Reimer, but of his twin brother, too.
Brian Reimer — who like David said he was sexually abused as a youngster by Money — went on to take a fatal drug overdose that may have been intentional.
The appalling story began in 1965 when the identical Reimer twins — Brian and Bruce — were born to a working-class Canadian couple, Janet and Ron Reimer, in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Tragic story * Money was a certified pervert.
Beyond sad.
Horrifyingly tragic.
That doctor deserves the hot place in hell where he’s going to burn.
I know that line, a lyric from David Bowie”s “Rebel,Rebel”. The song with the iconic guitar riff for an intro.
But with such a serious topic, it’s not the right time for me to bring that up.

It is relevant because Bowie helped start gender bending trends in popular culture.
“Bowie helped start gender bending trends in popular culture.”
Do a bit more research.
It was all an act.
Like the crazy costumes worn by “Kiss”.
He was never playing for the other team.
Hetero all the way.
When I was in nursing school, we studied this case as part of the curriculum. That story has always stuck with me. I’m pretty sure that they have “disappeared” this case study from the program. They have gone totally “woke.” The professor who failed me in one very important class is now currently the acting dean....caused me to have to take an additional semester to graduate because I could not take another nursing specific course until I passed the failed class...that beotch also ridiculed me in front of class because I supported conservative politicians and spoke against abortion. For that reason I refuse to allow a scholarship fund established by my family to award a scholarship to a nursing student at that college.
I’ve heard a similar story, with a boy who had severe birth defects being raised as a girl. He was in a wheelchair. Even at a young age, “Mary” was aggressive with the other girls at school. Fortunately, the parents by this time, had been made aware of the failures of trying to raise your child as the opposite sex, likely from the Bruce/Brenda/David story. They petitioned the courts to let them rename “Mary” with his original given name at birth, “Matthew”, which the courts agreed. “Matthew” showed up at school, and was widely accepted. I hope he and his family are doing well.
Hetero all the way.
Nope. He told about it in a Rolling Stone interview.
Years ago I read a book about that case. I think it was called “As Nature Made Him.” Very interesting, very tragic.
I have seen up close a monster like Money. A “Dr.” who used and abused small children for his personal pleasure. He destroyed a member of my family and worse tore my family apart, I won’t go into details but here is a bit of info on him.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Reardon and this also https://www.tremontsheldon.com/results/plaintiff-awarded-2-750-000-jury-finds-st-francis-at-fault-in-reardon-sex-abuse-case/
Gotta dig a bit more -
“He is not gay, whatever he may have blurted out in 1972,” wrote interviewer Kurt Loder, “nor was he ever a transvestite, thank you.”
“He is not gay, whatever he may have blurted out in 1972,”
One of those deals. He said it but he didn’t really mean it.
