	David Reimer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		David Reimer (August 22, 1965 – May 5, 2004) was a Canadian man who was born as a mentally and biologically healthy boy, but was sexually reassigned and raised as a girl in an attempt to improve his life after his penis was inadvertently destroyed during circumcision.
		David Reimer was born as a male identical twin in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
		Although the book gave David Reimer more financial comfort, he had many other problems in his life, including a separation from his wife, severe problems for his parents, and the death of his twin brother Brian, in 2002, from a toxic combination of alcohol and antidepressants.

	John Money - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This theory was applied in the case of a male child, David Reimer, whose penis was destroyed due to a botched circumcision.
		However, even though David Reimer was raised as a girl and never knew his early history, he behaved in a masculine way appropriate to a boy while he was a young child.
		As for Reimer, when he finally reached the age to make his own medical decisions, he was so distressed by Money's demand for further surgery to complete his "female" genitals, that his parents decided to reveal his medical history to him.

	Medical Error
		Even as Reimer (as Brenda) plunged into suicidal depression, the fabled version of her life was accepted by virtually everyone, especially the feminist movement which saw it as proof of their conviction that gender identity and sexual orientation are a result of rearing and environment.
		The tragedy of David Reimer, however, was considered a boon for science because David was born with a twin brother, Brian, who -- with his genitals still intact -- would provide a perfect matched control for their study.
		Reimer's mother recalled that even as a baby Brenda hated it when she was outfitted in a dainty dress: ``She was ripping at it, trying to tear it off,'' she said in the book.

		David Reimer was one of the most famous patients in the annals of medicine.
		David's parents (farm kids barely out of their teens) were referred to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, home of the world's leading expert in gender identity, psychologist Dr. John Money, who recommended a surgical sex change, from male to female.
		David's parents eventually agreed to the radical procedure, believing Dr. Money's claims that this was their sole hope for raising a child who could have heterosexual intercourse—albeit as a sterile woman with a synthetic vagina and a body feminized with estrogen supplements.

		David Reimer, the Canadian man raised as a girl for most of the first 14 years of his life in a highly touted medical experiment that seemed to resolve the debate over the cultural and biological determinants of gender, has died at 38.
		Reimer said he cooperated with Colapinto in the hope that other children could be spared the miseries he experienced.
		The Reimer case quickly was written into textbooks on pediatrics, psychiatry and sexuality as evidence that anatomy was not destiny, that sexual identity was far more malleable than anyone had thought possible. Money's claims provided powerful support for those seeking medical or social remedies for gender-based ills.

	David Reimer -- an Honorary Unsubscribe
		When Reimer was a baby, a doctor botched his circumcision, and sex researcher Dr. John Money convinced Reimer's parents of his theory that "gender identity" (a term Money coined) was not assigned by nature, but by nurture.
		David's ultimately successful life--a solid marriage, honest and close family relationships, and his bravery in making his childhood public--bring an uplifting end to his story.
		Equally fascinating is the latest segment of the longtime nature/nurture controversy, and the interviews of various psychological researchers and practitioners form a larger framework around David's struggle to live as the gender he was meant to be.

		Reimer struggled to be a man without having had the back-up of male learning and conditioning.
		But that’s not really what this case is. David Reimer was an unwitting and then unwilling gender explorer, a person thrust into some of the biggest existential questions of all because one doctor had an accident and another doctor had a theory.
		If David Reimer’s fight for his own life is to have larger meaning, maybe it will be that we all use his example to examine attitudes about sex, gender, and professional expertise that do not serve us.

		Also, Reimer’s sexual identity was a confused one as he still retained a sexual preference for girls, in spite of his belief that he was a female.
