<youtube>c6NdDrCaNr0</youtube> In this short clip, David Reimer says, referring was the elder of identical twin boys. He had a [[complete penile amputation]] due to nature being stronger than nurture to define gender identity: a [[complication]] of non-therapeutic elective [[circumcision]] at eight months of age by [[Jean-Marie Huot]].

'''David Peter Reimer''' (born '''''Bruce Peter Reimer'''''; {{LifeData|birth=1965-08-22 August 1965 – 4 May |birthplace=Winnipeg, Manitoba|birthcountry=Canada|death=2004-05-04}}) was born a boy,but brought up as a girl.
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?"
</blockquote>
David Reimer shot himself not too long afterwards.

Until then, David believed that his case was unique.
