Friendly reminder about the history of the term"Gender"
▶The word was introduced as a sexology term in 1955 by John Money (referring to the difference between masculinity and femininity) and was previously only used to describe grammatical categories
▶This John Money was the man responsible for the tragic case of David Reimer, whom was given a sex reassignment after a botched unnecessary circumcision and was raised as a girl under Money’s guidance an supervision.
▶Money’s theory was that “Gender” depended on nurture (how one is raised) rather than nature (i.e. Biological factors).
(Furthermore, despite this claimed belief, Money did in fact administer Reimer with hormone therapy)
▶During Money’s sessions with David (then called Brenda) and twin brother Brian Reimer, he had them examine phographs of adult human genetalia as well as each others private parts and simmulate sex acts with eachother (the latter a currently disputed fact).
▶David Reimer immediately DE-transitioned once he learned the truth and commited suicide with a shotgun in 2004(2 years after his twin brother died from an overdose of anti-depressants).

▶The tragic failed experiment on Reimer CLEARLY disproved Money’s “theory of gender neutrality” which is what feminist today commonly refer to as “gender is a social construct”.
▶In conclusion, a quote from David Reimer himself:
“I was never happy as ‘Brenda’.
Never.
And I’d slit my throat before I’d go back to that.”

There are only 2 genders, and they depend on biological factors. Deal with it.
