Greg Reese reports on the origins of gender studies, focusing on psychologist John Money and the "John/Joan" case of David Reimer. The report details how a botched circumcision led to Reimer being raised as a girl named Brenda under Money's supervision. Reese describes the experiment as a "train wreck" that resulted in the eventual suicides of both David and his twin brother, Brian, framing the story as a warning against modern gender ideology.
