Reimer was 22 months old when he underwent sex reassignment surgery. Worse still, it was under the recommendation of a trumped-up psychologist, John Money, and not a psychiatrist/physician.

I mean, if you have a child who is literally talking about suicide at 8 years old, and they're seriously thinking about it because that's how much they hate their gender, I don't want to be the one to tell them no.It's one thing to allow them to live as the other gender, it's another to give them hormones or surgery.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
