It just dawned on me how recent this case is, Reimer was born in '65. So this all happened in the 60s and 70s. That's shocking to me.

There is nothing to be inferred from Money’s experiment besides that medical and sexual abuse are bad.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too.

Thanks for the links, better than wikipedia lol

Also, the sort of medical and sexual abuse the Reimer twins were subjected to causes trauma that many people find difficult to "get over" and "move beyond." Both Reimer twins died by suicide, Brian at age 36, David at 38.
