"Dr. Money and the Boy with No Penis
This is a tragic documentary about Canadian Bruce Reimer, whose penis was burnt off during circumcision. Sexologist Dr John Money, who believed gender could be created by nurture, not nature, convinced Bruce's family he could be raised as a girl, so Bruce was castrated at 18 months and called Brenda.
After learning his real gender at age 13, Brenda took male hormones and changed his name to David. He later married a woman and was compensated for the botched circumcision but eventually committed suicide. A case of science denying humanity in the pursuit of success."

I really want to see this!
Oh wait. No I fucking don't. Ever.
