During his famous and infamous career, John Hopkins psychologist John Money revolutionized the way society viewed gender, popularizing the notion that nurture was as powerful as nature in the creation of gender identity.

Unfortunately, Money possessed an unhealthy dose of hubris, and tested his theories by performing sex reassignment surgeries on infants and toddlers who had ambiguous genitalia and other conditions. Horrific doubt was cast upon his treatments when one of his patients, David Reimer, committed suicide.
