'''David Peter Reimer''' (born '''''Bruce Peter Reimer'''''; {{LifeData|birth=1965-08-22|birthplace=Winnipeg, Manitoba|birthcountry=Canada|death=2004-05-04}}) was born a boy, but brought up as a girl.
David Reimer sayswas the elder of identical twin boys. He had a [[complete penile amputation]] due to a [[complication]] of non-therapeutic elective [[circumcision]] at eight months of age by [[Jean-Marie Huot]]. David Reimer said, referring to nature being stronger than nurture to define gender identity:
<blockquote>
"I'm living proof, and if you are not going to take my word as gospel, because I have lived through it, who else are you going to listen to? Who else is there? I've lived through it. Is it going to take someone killing themselves, shooting themselves in the head for people to listen?"
