Ignoring the history of the trans-movement and its cautionary tale will only lead us to a tragic future

Identical Reimer twins, David (right) and Brian Reimer, said they were sexually abused as youngsters by Money

Romans 1:28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.

Important Takeaways:

  • The spiritual father of trans movement Dr John Money, his twisted experiment in the 1960s – and the tragic deaths of the twin boys whose lives were ruined: How his harrowing true story is a cautionary tale for our times, writes TOM LEONARD
  • On May 4, 2004, David Reimer drove to a supermarket car park and, still sitting in the car, pulled out a shotgun and killed himself.
  • At 38, he ended a life that had been so full of pain and anguish that some who knew him were only surprised he had battled on for so long.
  • From when he was only a few months old until into his teenage years, David had been subjected to a perverse, cruel and disastrously misguided experiment by a celebrated sex psychologist who was determined to show the world that he could transform a boy into a girl.
  • The academic concerned — John Money — is often hailed as the spiritual father of today’s trans movement. His research underpins the central claim we hear so often nowadays: that while biological sex may be innate, ‘gender identity’ — a term that Money helped to popularize, along with coining the term ‘sexual orientation’ — is ‘socially constructed’.
  • From this stems the great modern progressive dogma: that sex is irrelevant and what truly matters is which gender a person ‘feels’ they are.
  • However, trans-rights warriors barely mention Money’s name now. And no wonder. For despite his lasting influence on the movement, his research was built on a lie — and his twisted experiment destroyed the life not only of David Reimer, but of his twin brother, too.
  • In 2004, the BBC Horizon program called this case a ‘cautionary tale’ about ‘what can happen when science pursues a beautiful theory with scant regard for the human cost’.
  • It’s a conclusion that has even greater resonance today
