the-defiant-pupil:tranny-levi:congenitaldisease:In 1966, 8-month old David Reimer was being circumcised at a Winnipeg hospital. During the procedure, a general practitioner filling in for the regular surgeon seared the boy’s penis with an electric cauterising machine. His penis was so badly burned that it eventually fell off.David’s parents sought advice from Dr. John Money, a sex researcher at a Baltimore hospital. Money decided to use David as an experiment to prove that gender depends on how a child is raised.. Money claimed parental influences and society formed sexual identity. He suggested that the rest of David’s genitals be removed and that he be prescribed female hormones. David would live as a girl, it was determined. His name was changed to “Brenda” and his progress was compared with that of his identical twin, Brian. As they grew older, the differences between the two diminished. “I tried really hard to rear her as a gentle lady but it didn’t work,” said David’s mother.Despite being dressed in girl’s clothing combined with years of counselling and therapy as well as hormone treatments, David insisted he was a boy. When David was 15-years-old, he learnt about the botched surgery from his father. From that point onward, he rejected further treatment, including an operation that was planned to create a vagina. David underwent surgery to remove his breasts and to construct a penis. He changed his name back to David and eventually went on to get married. He was never able to father children himself but became an outstanding stepfather.His case created an upheaval in theories on sexual identity. Tragically, on the 4th of May, 2004, David committed suicide by shooting himself in the head.This case is excellent proof in favor of the fact that being transgender is not influenced by the way you’re raised, the way society treats you, all of that stuff. It’s about brain structure, it’s a condition. I wish everyone took a look at this case, because it really is interesting.This summary leaves out a few things that need to be stated: John Money made David and Brian engage in sexual behaviors with each other (no actual sex as far as I’m aware, but getting into the positions and such), John Money also proclaimed his experiment a success despite that obviously not being the case (his license has been revoked and he’s a disgrace now), and Brian also committed suicide (before David) so it’s even more tragic.I don’t want to turn this tragedy into a political soapbox so I won’t get into it much, however this case goes to show not only what tranny-levi stated above but that certain things going on now-a-days are also wrong (routine infant circumcision for instance). Mostly though, it also proves the tucutes wrong as well. Gender isn’t a choice - it’s hardwired into us. Denying that just leads to senseless suffering and deaths that shouldn’t have happened.If there is an afterlife out there, I hope both David and Brian have found peace after the sickening ordeal they were put through. -- source link
