David Reimer
David Reimer (August 22, 1965 – May 5, 2004) was a Canadian man who was born as a mentally and biologically healthy boy, but was sexually reassigned and raised as a girl in an attempt to improve his life after his penis was inadvertently destroyed during circumcision. Psychologist John Money depicted the reassignment as not only successful but also strong evidence that sex roles are a social construct.
