The Reimer story was beyond suspicious.

There were identical twins and one had his penis cauterised off in an 'accident'. Thus providing Money with not only a subject but a 'control' subject.

He lied his ass off and said Joan was a happy little girl and happy to be a girl, playing with feminine toys.

As an adult John said this was bull and he never liked girls toys, makeup dresses or anything else feminine. He wanted to play with his twins toys. From the moment his parents cracked and told him, he would only answer to John, and dressed as a boy.

Money also tried to pressure the child into full SRS.

One of the big names in GD treatment described how Money was asked to leave a medical centre for treating intersex and GD kids after trying to get parents to get SRS on an infant that obviously had a minor delay in penile development that resolved in a couple of weeks.

Man had an ideology to push and wanted to be the big name in the field. Outright lied and traumatized and attempted to surgically mutilate kids to make his name.

God knows how many little kids got carved up because of Money's fraudulent claims that 'Joan' was proof gender identity was learned.

It’s important to note a couple things about John Money:

  1. TRAs occasionally cite him and the Reiner case as “proof” that we have “male brains and female brains”.

  2. Money did more than just encourage Reimer to wear dresses and play with dolls. He encouraged the female role as a submissive one, up to and including “sex play” involving Reimer and his brother, with Reimer in a passive, receptive role and his brother in the overpowering “male” role. Money did believe that gender roles were solely the result of socialization, but seemed to associate feminization with submissiveness and meekness to a point that we would likely consider humiliating. It is no wonder that Reimer found the experience unpleasant. Money constantly emphasized his role as female = nurturer, caregiver, doormat, gentle, loves pretty things, etc. and was firm that he remain strictly within that role, as well as stressing that his brother should be held up as masculine = tough, in charge, etc.

The David Reimer case is kind of a Rorschach test. Gender ideologues will argue it 'proves' that gender identity is innate and immutable, hence David's 'detransition'. I don't know what it really proves, other than the unscrupulousness and amorality of certain actors in the medical community.

He's a disgusting pedophile who should've been imprisoned.

If this pedo were alive today he'd 100% back the use of irreversible puberty blockers.
