Peace be upon you. What happened to these two innocent twins in 1967, and how was their case exploited to promote the concept of "gender" and then imposed on the entire world and our children and school students? Why did Oprah Winfrey, host of the American talk show The Oprah Winfrey Show, describe the study conducted on these children as a scientific triumph, when in reality it was a failure that destroyed the lives of everyone involved?
And how is this concept now being used to destroy the lives of human societies around the world, including in Muslim countries? Why, after the slogans of international organizations were once "combating violence against women" and "fighting discrimination against women," did they suddenly shift to slogans like "combating gender-based violence" and "fighting discrimination based on gender"? Who is behind these slogans, and what do they want? This is what we will uncover in this shocking and disturbing episode.
In 1965, a Canadian woman named Janet Reimer gave birth to twin boys, Bruce and Brian Reimer, who grew up normally until they began experiencing problems with urination. She took them to a doctor, who informed her that they suffered from a condition called phimosis and that they needed a circumcision procedure to resolve the issue.
When Bruce was eight months old, his parents took him to the doctor for the procedure. The doctor used a cauterizing tool, but it was overheated, burning part of Bruce’s penis. The procedure was not performed on Brian. The doctor informed the twins’ parents of the mistake, and at the time, there was no medical solution. The parents fell into depression and isolation.
One day, while watching television, the Reimers saw an interview with John Money, a psychologist with a PhD from Harvard University who worked in what they called "sexology." The parents were impressed by Money’s demeanor and decided to take Bruce to him. Money was delighted with Bruce’s case because it would allow him to prove his theories.
He told the parents: “The best solution for Bruce is to transform him into a female.” The parents asked, “How, Doctor?” He replied, “We will remove his penis and testicles entirely and later give him female hormones so he can develop into a female. We will also create a vaginal opening so he can engage in sexual activity.” When they asked, “Won’t Bruce still feel like a male?” Money responded, “Don’t worry. I have a theory that says nurture is more important than nature.”
Money claimed that what makes a male feel like a male and a female feel like a female is not an internal psychological factor, nor biological differences, nor hormones, nor genitalia. Instead, it is upbringing, social environment, and environmental factors. He asserted: “Gender identity is more environmental than biological. If you raise Bruce as a female, he will feel like a female.”
Money convinced the parents that people are born "gender-neutral" and that psychological inclinations are neither inherently masculine nor feminine. He was one of the first to separate "gender" from "sex," claiming that sex is a biological given, while gender is a "social construct" that can be changed.
Following Money’s recommendations, the parents changed Bruce’s name to Brenda. This marked the beginning of suffering for the infant, who was only 22 months old at the time. His mother later recounted: “As soon as we dressed Brenda in girls’ clothing, she started tearing them off. I thought to myself, My God, she knows she’s a boy.” Bruce (now Brenda) refused to play with dolls, preferring trucks and climbing trees. He felt completely lost, not fitting in with either males or females.
