On the David Reimer bit, someone linked science articles on GC showing that if you raise children as the other gender from BIRTH, then they enact that gender in adulthood. This demonstrated that gender is socialized as opposed to John Money’s mystical “gender identity.” I think with the David Reimer being flawed too was that he went from being raised as a boy and called by his male name to suddenly disoriented being raised as a girl with a girl name.

Also, I was taught that “sex is a social construct” with some bullshit of genitals being along a spectrum. Obviously those genitals actually serve a reproductive purpose despite external features appearing different.
