It's also worth noting that David Reimer's twin, the "normal" one who was also sexually and medically abused (but as a boy), killed himself two years before David. People seem to willfully forget that in favor of the narrative that David wasn't allowed to be his "authentic gender" and that's why he committed suicide. No, this was a story of a psychotic doctor who ruined the lives of both children, even well into adulthood.
