TL;DR:"Gender", John Money, and how a failed study became a social norm

"Gender":the "state of being" male or female (typically used with reference to social and cultural differences rather than biological ones)

Without writing a HUGE article on why I refuse to use the term "gender" in place of "sex" (Partly because the full story can be found in many documentaries that go into intrinsic detail on this tragedy) and why I don't buy into gender politics, I'll give a quick summary of what you NEED to know and sources that can be easily found for more tidbits of info and the full story. NOW, I will HIGHLY recommend looking into these sources and getting the full story on how the front runner for gender politics went unpunished and actually PRAISED and PARROTED after a failed experiment on a cracked out hypothesis led to the mental torture, exploitation, and eventual SUICIDE of 2 boys. Essentially

This here is John Money; Psychologist and "Sexologist"

And these are his victims: Brian and David Reimer

Now then TL;DR

David and Brian are twins and when they're born David gets a lousy doctor who ruins his penis in a botched circumcision
Money sees this tragedy as a way to prove his theory: Gender is a social construct and if raised as a female, a boy will grow up as a female with no issues
Money convinces the parents, in their tragic state, that this will be in the best interest for the child and they agree to go through with it
David gets reassignment surgery and let the human experimentation begin
David, now "Brenda" is raised as a girl and is overseen by Money
Throughout the years of Money overseeing these children and how "Brenda" was growing up as a female, he forced the two children to imitate sexual roles with each other and even took pictures
This goes on for many years with Money claiming that the experiment was a success
The trauma from these experiments led Brian to develop Schizophrenia, eventually committing suicide by ODing and "Brenda" ended up committing suicide with a shotgun

Now I'll list sources to the full story, but the purpose of this is to get the word out, or rather the "words":
WHY do we treat the idea that gender is a social construct when the only study trying to prove that led to two lives ending before their time BECAUSE their lives revolved around the ideal in question? In today's day and age I feel people will just believe whatever the mainstream media tells them to believe and if you look at the actual studies and develop a different opinion, you get called "wrong". Well, to each their own, but before you go about parroting "gender is a social construct", remember: That ideal is based on a study developed by a pedophile who convinced confused and scared parents into giving up their son to further his baseless theory, made the decision of sexual reassignment surgery for a baby, forced two boys to commit sexual acts with each other until it drove them to suicide and then became a huge success because even when the story DID come out, people were so stuck on their "progressive" idealism that the idea that maybe they're wrong on a fundamental and, tragically now, demonstrative level, they didn't care.
Look at the facts, develop your own morals, and think for yourself.
