David Reimer had a rough childhood. His name was Bruce before David. Weeks after being born Bruce was to get circumcised. When he went in to get it done, they burnt his whole penis off. Plastic surgery was not advanced enough to reconstruct a new penis. Bruce's parents were face with a struggle of a life time. Until, they saw Dr.Money on TV. They saw his new theory on how you can raise a boy as a girl or the other way around. Bruce's parents called Dr.Money and Bruce was now transformed to Brenda.
Brenda as a young child was treated like a girl. He played with dolls and wore dresses and makeup. He was more lady like then his brother. He said he didn't fight back if his brother Brian picked on him because girls don't fight back. Dr. Money asked Brenda difference between a boy and a girl (body parts) and she didn't even know. As a child Dr. Money asked Brenda and Brian to pose naked to show the difference between the two of them. This put a lot of stress on Brenda. She didn't understand why she had to take off her clothes. Dr. Money stressed on her about reconstructing her vagina. Brenda refused and said to ask her when she was 13 or 14.

As Brenda became a teenager she started to wonder what was wrong with her. She never got along with any of the girls and all the girls picked on her. Brenda wanted to play with the boys. She also got to wondering why her body was different from other girls. She was built more meaty and buff. As Brenda turned 13 Dr. Money again stressed on a reconstruction of her body. Brenda wasn't sure what to feel about that. Dr. Money even had a women come in that had a sex, she was man now she's a female, talk to Brenda about the reconstruction. Then Dr. Money asked Brenda to take off her clothes but she felt uncomfortable and ran away. She told her parents if she had to see him again she would kill herself. After Brenda's parents heard her say that they thought it was a good time to tell Brenda she was actually born a boy. Brenda had the choice of staying a girl or going back to being a boy. He made his decision and Brenda wanted to return a boy. He renamed himself, David.
When David got older his relationship with his brother was distant. Brian wasn't sure what to think of David. That caused David a lot of emotions. Dr. Money was still publishing books on his success on David. Dr. Money still said you can raise a boy as a girl if they didn't know the what gender they were when they were born. This made David furious because Dr. Money ruined his childhood and did not want it to happen to another human. David had this idea to retaliate against Dr. Money. David wanted to write a book and make speeches to inform the Nation. David still had a perfectly normal life he ended up getting married and having kids. Brian soon died after that. His twin dying was very hard on David. His marriage went through a rough time and his wife told him she needed space. Both of these events happening around the same time put too much on David. David ended up committing suicide.
