The interesting thing is, John Money proves that you cannot change a person's gender identity and that when you attempt to, they can and do become suicidal.

John Money runs counter to everything about the rights of transgender people to be who they are. https://t.co/cLZSPQM14F

It went from "most influential doctor ever" to "every train hates him (ignore how we still cite him)"

"John Money is proof you cant change a trans person's identity"
The kid wasnt even trans! The kid was cisgender, the activists still call the kid trans

LMAO this is your brain on Science(TM). Literally one case study but that's enough to conclude a range of wide-sweeping statements apply to the entire human population (everyone has an innate gender identity, it can't be changed by any means, a mismatch between your gender identity and s*x will make you keep yourself safe). I mean, maybe the fact that Reimer was sexually abused by Money and put on an experimental hormone protocol was a contributing factor? Maybe a completely different person who hasn't been subjected to either of those things would be less inclined to off himself? Nah, this is enough to say that gender affirming care is necessary and life saving and the Science(TM) is settled
