John Money's Radical Theory and the Tragic Experiment on David Reimer
John Money proposed that a person's gender identity could be separate from their biology and conducted an experiment on David Reimer to support his theory. David, whose penis was burned off during a circumcision, was raised as a girl from the age of 18 months. Despite John Money's claims of success, David struggled and ultimately identified as male. This experiment exposed the falsehood of John Money's theory and formed the basis of the gender ideology that persists today.
