00:00Hi, I think we are all, without exception, fundamentally good.
00:05everything you do you do with the conviction that you are the right one
00:09side or hoping in any case to do well even the people who commit
00:13horrible acts they actually committed while believing that they
00:17were doing something good for themselves but in our world what we
00:21let us consider how good is not necessarily for our neighbor and vice
00:24then poured when this neighbor of a family
00:28desperate turns out to be a recognition-hungry doctor ready to do anything
00:32to make a name for yourself, you quickly find yourself confronted with what science and
00:36medicine can do worse but before and to give a better taste to
00:41this video that of fear this video is sponsored by oli oli it is
00:46what if like me you like drinks like iced tea, energy drink or soda it's
00:51perfect the concept couldn't be simpler since with oli you can choose
00:55the flavor you like but also the type of drink depending on your
01:00mood or your needs there are plenty of positive points including the fact that it
01:04is more economical and ecological than classic cans since it
01:08just serve yourself again in the same shaker the absence of sugar and taurine and the
01:13presence of natural aromas and colors but also the multivitamin side in the
01:17Alistie range and especially Oli uses New Calf in their drink which is a
01:21caffeine that lasts longer and avoids energy peaks and therefore
01:26fatigue to know that it is not recommended to take caffeine before 18 years old
01:31okay you're young you don't need it you're normally full of energy
01:34This is what convinced me the most personally, it allows me to better
01:38live my long research and editing writing sessions which are
01:41sometimes overwhelming and what's more it's good it really has flavor because you can
01:46choose the intensity yourself if, for example, you find it too sweet, like
01:50some well there is a revolutionary system that has just come out
01:54going out is normal that you don't know it's called putting on
01:58water, here you can just dilute another positive point I have two promo codes for
02:04you the code jimmy 5 to have 5 euros off your first order and the
02:09code jimmy to get 10% off all your other orders every
02:13links are in the description thanks to oli for the trust and we are
02:17left for the story of David Reymeur
02:31It is 1967 in Winnipeg, Canada, and one of the most controversial and
02:39cruel of modern medicine will take place and will become the starting point
02:43of one of the saddest and most unfair stories you will ever hear
02:48On August 22, 1965, a couple, Janet and Ron Reymeur, gave birth to
02:56twins the delivery is going well they are filled with happiness at the idea of welcoming
03:02two little boys in their life two babies called bruce and brian once at the
03:08At home everything is going well but very quickly both parents realize that
03:12The twins have trouble urinating normally so they go to see a
03:15doctor who diagnosed phimosis in the two little ones, aged only six months
03:20It's very common in children and often ends up healing on its own.
03:24growing up but sometimes it generates infections, pain or
03:29difficulty urinating so on the advice of their doctor Janet and John Raymer
03:33decides to have their two children circumcised, well circumcision is and remains
03:38mutilation especially when it is not necessary and is carried out
03:41force or without the lives of the children but in the case of Bruce and Brian
03:45Well, they have no choice, so the whole family goes to the hospital for a
03:49intervention in reality rather banal without great danger the little ones are eight months old
03:55The surgeon first takes care of Brian, then Bruce, then Janet and Ron.
04:00parents receive a phone call where the doctor explains to them that one of the
04:05two interventions went badly but they can't round him off any more
04:09performing the operation they burned Bruce's penis and completely destroyed it
04:15destroyed bruce no longer has a reproductive system you are probably wondering
04:20How is this possible? Normally, a circumcision is done.
04:24with the scalpel there is no story of burns etc and well it turns out that the
04:28The surgeon who operated on them chose to use an experimental technique
04:32called electrocoagulation which is supposed to use the heat of a current
04:36electric to cut and cauterize at the same time except that this method
04:41was not actually intended for use on the genitals at all
04:45and even less on those of a child resulting from an intervention supposed to be
04:50banal has just turned into a nightmare and the damage caused to little Bruce and his
04:55organ are irreversible the little boy can still pee yes but
05:00in pain and the risks of infection are extremely high and
05:04Above all, the doctor explains to them that even if he heals and no longer feels the
05:09pain in the future he can never hope to have a normal sex life
05:14growing up obviously janet and ron are furious and worried yet he doesn't
05:19don't file a complaint against the hospital or the surgeons because well,
05:23didn't know they could do it they just weren't informed and also
05:27because well he thought that those were the risks and that it was up to them to
05:31taking them on well the urgency of the situation has inevitably also played a role in
05:37the story because for the moment their main concern but it's Bruce
05:40and above all know how they are going to treat him and allow him to have
05:45a normal life like his brother at first they will consult all the
05:50Winnipeg doctors to find a solution to the problem they all say
05:55same thing they are all formal there is no treatment nor any
06:00penis reconstruction surgery at such a young age I remind you that Bruce has
06:05eight months and that we are in 1965-66 today with the progress we have made
06:10It would have been feasible but at the time it was another story so they are
06:15desperate they are desperate but one evening while they are watching television
06:22They come across a show featuring a certain Doctor John Monet
06:26known at the time for his work on gender identity that he carried out
06:29John Hopkins University we will come back later to what gender identity is
06:34because it is extremely important for the continuation of this story but in
06:37waiting for janet and ron they don't know what to do they are so
06:42so helpless that they say to themselves that perhaps this is the man who can
06:46save their baby and help them so they write a letter for him
06:49explain the situation and against all expectations he answers them and wishes them
06:54meet as soon as possible for both parents it's incredible
06:58On the day they have an appointment in Baltimore and Dr. Monet explains to the two
07:04parents his theory for him gender identity is not determined
07:08biologically at birth but it is constructed entirely by
07:13education and social environment he is convinced that we are all born
07:17neutral at birth and before our second birthday depending on how we are
07:21raised socially and psychologically we end up identifying as a boy
07:25or like a girl no matter our biological sex basically he thinks we can
07:30choose your gender if you are too influenced like many people who go
07:35watch this video I imagine then he will propose something crazy to the
07:39parents of bruce and brian but to make it clearer for everyone
07:45We take a quick look at what gender identity and dysphoria are.
07:48like we talk about it a lot at the moment and I think it's important to address
07:52the subject now to understand the rest of the story
07:55gender identity for those who have never heard of it for those who have not
07:59don't know what it is or even who are closed to the idea it is the intimate feeling and
08:03deep that a person can be a man a woman both or neither
08:08regardless of his biological sex observed at birth since there it is
08:12not very complicated, for example, I feel like a man, I feel it because I
08:16I see because I was educated like that but above all because I feel
08:20totally in my place as a man it is my gender identity and as for
08:24most of the people in the world who will watch this video
08:28matches my physique I'm lucky you too but it happens that it doesn't
08:32If not, now I suggest you ask yourself three questions.
08:36simple questions first question is do you believe in science
08:40second, if a scientific consensus exists, do I take it at face value?
08:44seriously a consensus is all the biggest medical authorities and
08:48scientists of the world who agree and 3 if I am given proof
08:53solid am I willing to question what I thought if you
08:57answer yes to these three questions it's perfect if you believe in science
09:01except on this question whatever happens it's called denial it's
09:07Too bad but it happens and if you answer no to all these questions, well
09:11It's going to be very complicated but listen anyway, the story is interesting
09:15you will see, well we have just defined what gender identity is, okay.
09:19deep feeling that a person of his own gender has that everyone
09:24even you feel it but it also exists and science is formal on this point this
09:28which we call gender dysphoria which represents the deep malaise that a
09:33a person feels when their gender identity does not match their sex
09:38biologically it's called gender dysphoria in other words science and
09:43Medicine is unanimous that a transgender person does not pretend to be small.
09:49aside in the part and a transgender person is not a transvestite or a
09:53drag who doesn't identify with relaxed people, they just like to wear
09:57clothes or makeup that's all a transgender person can do
10:01choose to cross-dress or to flirt for personal pleasure there is
10:06no problem with that ok in short a trans person she feels deeply since
10:11long time often that it does not correspond to the sex which was assigned to it at the
10:15birth and it is not just an impression the medical consensus and
10:18scientific on this issue is clear and firm and international all
10:23available data points in one direction gender identity but
10:28above all gender dysphoria is an indisputable reality sourced is
10:34extremely well documented I will put links at the bottom of the description
10:38if you want to educate yourself on this subject, moreover the story that I tell you
10:42story is also part of the sources and documentations concerning dysphoria
10:46of gender then of course transidentity is much more complex than that
10:50is based on biological, hormonal, neurological and psychological factors
10:54combined but if I had to summarize very simply as you will see in
10:59this story you can't force someone to be what they are not
11:03you can try at home to convince yourself that you are the type
11:07opposed as much as you want it will not work in the same way as you
11:11You can tell a trans person that they are not, and it won't change anything.
11:15you are wasting your time and a trans person could hammer you or
11:20your children that they are trans if they are not it will not change anything we do not
11:25does not choose one's gender just as one does not choose one's sexual orientation
11:29so no it is not a fashion as we can hear it I repeat science
11:33is formal and if you have the impression that before there were fewer and
11:37Now, strangely, today we see more and more of them, it's simply
11:40because speech is freed and people who lived hidden in fear
11:44to be seen as monsters at the time dare to speak out more and more it is
11:49It's all logical and yes, also, as in all groups of human beings,
11:53There are exceptions, people often in psychological distress who lie
11:58to feel like you belong to a cause or a community, but it remains a
12:02minority within a minority understand that there is absolutely no benefit or
12:08social or financial for a trans person to say that they are trans
12:13none on the contrary find out and you will realize and it is
12:17terrible that it is less painful for them to be insulted, threatened, mocked
12:22and to hit that to live hidden is what you frankly tomorrow you
12:27would invent a lie knowing full well that it would not attract you
12:31only troubles and insults we continue whatever happens
12:38Doctor Monet is convinced that a child's gender is influenced by his
12:42education therefore and the environment in which he evolves then when he sees
12:46Janette and John Raymer, a desperate couple with twins on top of that.
12:52asking for help he sees it as an unexpected opportunity to finally prove his worth
12:58works what better than two children almost 100% identical living under
13:03the same roof to carry out his experiment to test his theory
13:09and as crazy as it may seem he will offer to transform their
13:14little boy into a little girl and never tell him they will have to
13:19give her a female name, dress her in feminine clothes and encourage her to
13:24adopting girlish behavior without ever revealing the truth to him or her
13:29nor to his twin brother one might expect that such a crazy idea
13:33either refused by the parents but they are so helpless and
13:38taken by the urgency of the situation that they accept the unthinkable and rename the
13:43little boy bruce unknowingly becomes brenda he buys her clothes
13:48girls and dolls and they will have to regularly come to see the doctor for
13:53psychological monitoring of the two children but that everything works according to the
13:57Dr. Monet, Bruce's testicles must be removed to prevent the
14:03development of his masculine characteristics result at only 22 months
14:08Bruce now Brenda is having an orchidectomy no more coucougnette what
14:14I'm trying to make it a little less horrible but hey and from now on janet
14:19and Ron introduces Brenda as a girl like the doctor told them and they go
14:25do everything to make him adopt feminine behavior and I say he because
14:28that he types himself as a boy in his book you will see him more
14:32late and then it will perhaps also help you in the story at times to you
14:37remember that Brenda is actually a little boy
14:40In any case, the parents will quickly encounter problems Brenda
14:44was only two years old when she already began to refuse to dress like a
14:47girl she hates wearing skirts and she prefers to play with her toys
14:52little brother well we agree to say that it is not necessarily linked to his
14:55like, children can be capricious but the problem is that
14:59Brian, his twin brother, is not like that at all and the twins often
15:03look very similar physically but also psychologically when they
15:07grow up in the same environment and there Brenda has reactions related to
15:11Brian's daughter's education has no results, both parents are worried
15:17They are worried and unfortunately it will not get better as they grow up.
15:22At school, the other students make fun of Brenda because they judge her too much.
15:26masculine she has a voice that sounds more like a boy's on top of that
15:31She never plays with girls, she is stronger than them at sports and what's more
15:36She fights regularly, which will earn her the nickname of cavewoman.
15:42caves I remind you that we are talking about a little boy who was told that he
15:46was a girl and who at that time was barely 8 10 years old result Brenda
15:51closes she feels different and she does not understand why what once
15:55more worried Janet and Ron, her parents, who ask the doctor what they
16:01must do but for him everything is fine Brenda's behavior is temporary and he
16:06explains to them that it is just a social adjustment but that everything is fine
16:09to get back in order, moreover, we are going to talk a little about Doctor Monet as much as his
16:13experience is immoral and cruel but I understand that he sees it as a
16:17unexpected opportunity to advance science even if I am not at all
16:21Agreed, as much on the psychological part of the children it is another
16:25story at the beginning the sessions with brian and brenda were rather classic they
16:31watch them have fun, exchange and ask them questions to see if both of them
16:35They understood that Brenda is a girl but the more time passes, the more
16:40twins will grow up the more the sessions will take a weird turn between
16:45At about six and nine years old, the doctor starts asking Brenda and Brian to
16:50role-playing Brenda must mime women's postures and Brian must
16:54adopting a manly man's behavior he did for example Brenda market like a
16:58woman or at least the idea he had of a woman on the catwalk or sitting down
17:03legs crossed and brian was forced to do man poses but
17:08he also asked them questions
17:11This is the transcript of one of the sessions
17:14This is the transcript of one of the doctor's sessions with the twins and for him it is the
17:42proof that what he says is true so he regularly publishes his progress on
17:47the reimer case announcing that everything is going wonderfully and that brenda is there
17:52living proof that gender is shaped by education yet in reality that is all
17:57the opposite, the more Brenda grows, the more her pain intensifies, she categorically refuses to wear
18:04dresses or women's clothes for several years already while growing up she
18:08begins to reject her first name and she wonders more and more why she doesn't look like the
18:13girls her age in addition to that at school since she was three or four years old the others
18:19Children make fun of her, so at barely ten years old she had already thought about ending her life.
18:25At ten years old, but especially from the age of seven or thirteen, Dr. Monet's psychiatric sessions will continue.
18:34transform it will increasingly address the question of sexuality is asked of the twins
18:40to simulate sexual acts with each other you heard right he's going to ask brenda to
18:47lie on your back with your legs apart or get on all fours like a woman would
18:52and Brian her brother to get on top of her or behind her and mime movements like he would do
19:00a man again according to him to help brenda understand the role of her gender if the role
19:07of a woman was always to be submissive to the man and vice versa you can imagine these sessions will
19:13have a traumatic effect on twins who are in a period of their life where it begins to
19:18need privacy, not to mention that they are brothers and sisters, but the most traumatized one
19:25Brenda remains, who, in addition to always feeling out of place, hates what is imposed on her.
19:32As a girl, the parents themselves did not really know what was happening during these sessions and
19:38In any case, he had blind faith in him, blinded precisely by the doctor's expert aura.
19:44and the more time passes the more this secret destroys the Raymer family, Janet and John as parents
19:51realize it's not working they are consumed by guilt and evidence
19:56that they are doing to their little boy Brenda is completely lost and Brian is also starting to
20:03show signs of psychological disorders and the fact that they are monozygotic twins in
20:08more plays a huge role since they have a stronger than normal empathic bond towards their
20:13brothers or their sister and brian cannot bear his sister's distress and he seems to feel
20:20that there is a problem this pre-adolescence period is really going to be one of the most difficult for any
20:26the family but Doctor Monet is adamant that everything will be back to normal when Bruce Brenda has done
20:34a vaginoplasty, that is to say, creating a vagina to allow her to reinforce her gender identity and it is
20:40This is what will allow him to feel better according to him, it is the parents' last hope, they can't take it
20:47except that around the age of 13 Brenda categorically refused to continue her hormone treatment
20:53to undergo this operation and especially to go to Dr. John Raymer once more otherwise she
21:00she promises she will commit suicide, poor thing, she is traumatized and terrified by her sessions that she is forced to
21:07follow and the awkward things he forces you to do with your brother it's understandable janet and ron find each other
21:13So with my back to the wall and on the advice of Brenda's psychiatrist who has been following her since her school problems
21:17and who follows the family they will have to confess everything to him on March 14, 1980 Brenda is 14 years old and it is her father Ron
21:29who is going to tell him the news he looks at his daughter and with a trembling voice he explains everything to her he
21:35admits that in reality her name is not Brenda but Bruce that she was born a boy like her brother
21:42but that following an accident during their circumcision his penis was destroyed and that Dr. John
21:48Monet convinced them that if he didn't tell her anything and made her believe he was a girl then he
21:54he would be one he could have a normal life there Brenda's world collapses or rather Bruce's
22:03He is both in shock because he understands that he has been lied to all his life but he is also
22:08relieved because he finally understands where his discomfort comes from and why he never felt in his place
22:15I repeat so that it sinks in, he understands why he never felt in his place, from there he goes
22:24immediately reject the first names Brenda but also Bruce as if to erase the life he led
22:31so far and he will choose to call himself David and immediately begin a transition process
22:38medical to align his physique with his gender identity he will therefore take hormonal treatment
22:45masculinizing to counter the feminizing hormones that were imposed on him for
22:49years and also plan for surgical interventions to remove the breast that
22:54had grown due to hormonal treatments and also to recover masculine attributes
22:59I remember that at ten months his penis was destroyed and at 22 months his testicles were removed.
23:07a 22 month old baby and then David continues to grow as best he can, we haven't talked about
23:13his brother we will talk about it later but he too is in shock obviously since the two twins
23:19must relearn how to live and they will be closely monitored psychologically, we would like
23:25that the story stops now and ends on a good note but you will see that it is
23:30far from being the case David will do everything to resume a normal life and at the end of his studies
23:37They find a job in a slaughterhouse and then alongside that they meet a girl they go
23:42dating and in 1990, ten years after discovering the pot of roses, good news David
23:51married with this girl called Jean Fontaine he is 25 years old he becomes stepfather of three children that is
23:57for the most joyful part which is probably the happiest part of his life
24:03even though he still continues to struggle with depression and childhood trauma
24:08At that time, his story and that of Doctor Monet caused a bit of talk and in 1997
24:15A journalist named John Colapinto will ask him to tell what he experienced in an article for the
24:21Rolling Stone magazine's article caused a sensation and shocked readers, so John Colapinto, the journalist
24:29will choose and decide with David's agreement to write a book, a book in which he tells
24:37his whole story, a story that he even shared on television in the Oprah Winfrey Show, the support
24:44that he receives does him a lot of good but in 2002 it is the shock his twin Brian is found dead
24:52In reality, he ended his life using antidepressants that his doctor had prescribed in part because
24:59Brian never managed to get over his little sister Brenda. For him, she always existed. He never had
25:07awareness of having had a brother he grew up with a sister because he was told she was a sister
25:12As a result, when their parents told them the truth about Brian, it was as if she was dead, as if Brenda had been killed.
25:20since he never saw him again and it destroyed him psychologically, well in addition to that there is also the
25:28feeling of having obviously been deceived all his life by his parents and the images of the sessions at the
25:34Doctor Monet where he was forced to simulate sexual acts with Brenda who was actually his brother
25:41twin well all that got the better of his mental health obviously this news will plunge David again
25:50deeper into his depression he will lose a lot of weight he will end up separating from his
25:56woman and on May 4, 2004, two years after the death of his twin, he also ended his life at the age of
26:0438 years old I know that's not the subject of the video but if you are feeling bad and you have dark thoughts
26:12Talk about it around you and call this number, know that you are important, you are not everything
26:19alone so don't really hesitate as for the parents Janet and Ron Raymer they unfortunately lived the
26:27most of their lives in guilt thinking they were doing the right thing and today they are eaten up by the
26:33grief but above all by remorse for having trusted the wrong person, Doctor Monet
26:38who, moreover, was never prosecuted and continued to teach at his university.
26:45Obviously he has been totally discredited in his work but otherwise no consequences even
26:51regarding the strange psych sessions nothing at all if we had to draw something positive from this experience
26:59It's that despite the horror, it allowed specialists from all over the world to better understand
27:05gender identity this kind of experience is so crazy and therefore unique that it represents
27:11a gold mine of information on the subject, it is today one of the most solid arguments in
27:17favor of transidentity as always in science to prove that something is true we
27:22tries to prove that it is false and he has demonstrated in spite of himself that it is not possible to change or
27:28choosing one's gender despite the lies of an entire family, medications and surgery
27:34when a person feels like a man or a woman even if they are in the body of the opposite sex it is
27:40impossible to make him change his mind, nature expresses itself differently sometimes it is complex and
27:46various she creates men and women of all colors intersex people little ones
27:52adults, deaf people, blind people, humans with extra chromosomes or
27:58extraordinary abilities and therefore it also creates trans people whether you like it or not it is
28:04nature I really wanted to tell you about this story because I find it amazing
28:11The first time I heard it, I heard vaguely about it, it was three or four years ago and I
28:16I told myself but it's not possible it's a film no one can do that I don't know if we realize
28:20Taking into account the guy's madness, a doctor decided to carry out an experiment to remove the
28:28private parts of a 22-month-old baby and convinced his parents to make him believe he was a girl
28:34his whole life to prove his theory that gender is not innate but can be defined by
28:40the environment and education is crazy anyway if by watching this video you
28:47did you feel empathy towards david bruce or even brenda it's the same person know
28:53that you felt empathy for what trans people go through, my goal was not to
28:58trap you but if so you felt empathy for trans people if you
29:04thought you were transphobic tell yourself that at the moment you felt sorry for him you were no longer
29:08at all and if it didn't kill you to no longer be then stop what David experienced for
29:15years is very close to what trans people experience on a daily basis, this feeling
29:20to be out of step with the body they were assigned to if you feel good about your
29:26place it's also my case it's great so as far as I'm concerned the energy that I don't need
29:31to put to feel good in my skin I prefer to use it for those who feel bad in the
