During the decade of the sixties, in the field of psychology the revolutionary Theory of Gender Neutrality was followed, which was based on the idea that biological sex and psychological sex develop independently, and may not coincide , since the latter is subject to the social genre that is assigned to the individual during childhood.Idea that opened the door to a series of treatments with terrible consequences, aimed at solving sexual identity problems.
Can you manipulate sexual identity? Some believed that if they did horrible things
In fact, the renowned New Zealand doctor based in the United States.John Money, Psychologist, Psychiatrist and Educator specializing in sexology, was one of his most fervent promoters who tried to demonstrate the theory through the John/Joan Project included in his work "Man and Woman, boy and girl." Study that arises when The Remier family comes to his consultation with his 6-month-old boy, who had lost his penis in a phimosis operation, attracted by the doctor's reputation in intersexuality studies.After examining the case, Money tells them that unfortunately the reconstruction of the penis It is totally impossible (at that time), so he proposes a change of sex, since he was just a baby without “sexual identity”, because they would be imposed by raising her as a child.
Resigned, parents follow the instructions of the specialist, subject the child to a sex change intervention, where the testicles are removed and a rudimentary external vagina is modeled after which, it would only accompany its development with a strong hormonal treatment and make it believe , to this poor creature, who was a female treating her as such, so her sexual identity would be formed in this sense assuming her role.The problem is that the little “Brenda” never behaved like a girl , He tended to imitate his father, he did not like dresses or dolls, at school he was a victim of bullying because the companions did not accept it and the partners did not either, which made it sink more and more in a deep depression .
In view of the situation, his parents decide to tell him the truth about his identity.It is when Brenda decides to assume her masculine role, she changes her name by David and begins his conversion, which will not be completed until 1997 when he reverses the sex change operation, however, by then the famous doctor had already completed the project by registering the case as total success , proves that he endorsed the Gender Neutrality Theory, which is why David decides to publish his story because both Money and his psychologist Milton Diamond knew that they had never seen as a woman and it was the latter who encouraged him to make it public.All a scandal that took David's life, who was definitely traumatized psychologically by the experiment .
Do not believe that this was the only victim of these ideas, because years later, during the Apartheid Regime, in South Africa, at the hands of another "Eminence" in the field of psychology, Dr.Aubrey Levin and a team composed of priests, military psychiatrists and surgeons were responsible for discovering hundreds of cases of homosexuality within the army to those who submitted to the Aversion Treatment that promised to "cure them "Through a therapy that applied strong electric shocks while showing photos of naked men in order to make them hate their same sex.Therapy that was completed with chemical castration and when all this could not restore to "Patient" is I proposed a sexual reassignment , a change of sex that was in line with their “psychological sexuality.” It is not known exactly how many victims this experiment charged that, although late, has had its punishment because in the 2010 Dr.Aubrey Levin was expelled from the Alberta College of Physicians and Surgeons and lost his license due to the countless crimes of sexual abuse committed in that fateful decade of the 70s.
"Science is advancing by giant steps" as they say, but how many has it crushed in its path? Today we have reminded those "victims of progress" that will undoubtedly make us reflect and be more human.
