Boy Raised as Girl – David Reimer
David Reimer was born in Canada in 1965 and named Bruce Peter Reimer. His identical twin was Brian. These brothers had penis problems, so they were to be circumcised, but it didn’t go as planned. A general doctor used the wrong tool and method, leading to David’s penis falling off!
Another Doctor to the Rescue
After a few years, David’s parents heard about Dr. John Money. He was a sex researcher at John Hopkins University, and his reputation was extensive. The Reimers booked a consultation, and the doctor convinced the parents to reassign the sex of the boy.
